Possession of Alba Díaz
Possession of Alba Díaz | Isabel Cañas
2 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
When a demonic presence awakens deep in a Mexican silver mine, the young woman it seizes must turn to the one man she shouldn't trust...from bestselling author Isabel Cañas. In 1765, plague sweeps through Zacatecas. Alba flees with her wealthy merchant parents and fiancé, Carlos, to his family's isolated mine for refuge. But safety proves fleeting as other dangers soon bare their teeth: Alba begins suffering from strange hallucinations, sleepwalking, and violent convulsions. She senses something cold lurking beneath her skin. Something angry. Something wrong. Elías, haunted by a troubled past, came to the New World to make his fortune and escape his family's legacy of greed. Alba, as his cousin's betrothed, is none of his business. Which is of course why he can't help but notice the growing tension between them every time she enters the room...and why he notices her deteriorate when the demon's thirst for blood gets stronger. In the fight for her life, Alba and Elías become entangled with the occult, the Church, long-kept secrets, and each other... not knowing that one of these things will spell their doom.

I finally finished this today! It has been such an emotional rollercoaster. The last 40 minutes had me ugly crying. I feel exhausted but in such a good way. This is an easy 5-star, if not a 6-star. Although I wish there were slightly more horror of the supernatural kind, it was still a very satisfactory amount. The story starts out a bit slower, but the book is gripping and refreshing. I LOVE Elías. This book set a new standard for fictional men.

Doppoetry I feel betrayed for falling for [redacted], but they got their comeuppance in the end. 3d
TieDyeDude Nice review! Vampires of El Norte is still on my TBR, but I'll have to add this, too. 3d
Doppoetry @TieDyeDude I hope you enjoy it when you do! I am planning to read The Hacienda next, but I have been wanting to read Vampires of El Norte for a while as well. 3d

UNPUTDOWNABLE! AGAIN!
A gothic horror, Mexican historical fiction, filled with colonial greed, power, family legacy, and a possession.

1765 Zacatecas, where plague forces Alba into a marriage and with her family into a silver mine. What should have been a refuge instead becomes a descent into terror.

The perfect read to open up this spooky season!
