eggcatsreads 's review for:

The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas
5.0

Idk. The reviews seem split but I loved this book and couldn't put it down once Shit started, and I was breathless by the time it ended. The ending was both hopeful and bittersweet and while some people seem to hate it, it makes sense to me.

Spoiler
She didn't want the House, she wanted the safety and status it provides, so if she can get that elsewhere with her mother (and not in the same traumatic place she was the entire novel) ofc she'd leave.


Maybe I have bad taste based on some of the other reviews, idk lmao. However, I loved Mexican Gothic and both of these books filled a very similar niche of Gothic horror in my opinion and I loved them both.
