The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas

3.0

so I do think I kind of sabotaged my reading of this book. I was pretty distracted as I started this a couple days before I was taking an important test, so my mind was mostly on that.

when it comes to the haunted aspect of this book, the pacing was great. I could see this so perfectly as if it were a movie, but unfortunately I kept wishing I was just watching this imaginary movie. but the atmosphere was creepy, things actually happened as opposed to some haunted house stories.

though one real downfall was the fact that this book was dual pov. I could not care less about Andres's perspective. every time we got to one of his chapters I found myself putting the book down. ESPECIALLY these awful past timeline chapters from him. I felt like those added literally nothing and eventually I just skimmed my way through.

I also really did not care for the romance. it was unnecessary and added nothing to the story.
