First let me begin with that Aliens also get reading slumps.. yes we do.

So much to read so little time gives you existencial dread.. I kid, it however took me a long time to finish a novel that would normally take me 3 days to finish a whole month.. well almost a month not that the writing was bad.. or the story was bad.. I was just not feeling like reading im sure you have experienced this before.

Anyways we shall begin with the review.

SPOILERS AHEAD

The story starts with Alba a rich girl that was adopted as an infant 25 years prior the beginning of the story.  Has decided to marry her friend Carlos who is not interested in women. That way she could be free to do as she wished not be in a relationship with a man she hated.

Meanwhile Elias is an alchemist who on his way back to Spain from north Africa/middle east not too sure from where learns his father is dead in New Spain(Mexico) so he must go to New spain and help fix the silver mine his family possess.

In Zacatecas Alba meets Elias by accident in a wedding, the bride dies of the plague, and she convinces her family to go with Carlos (her fiance) to the little pueblo where the mine is at. To get away from the plague. It works.

Long story short and I dont want to spoil the entire story for you, Alba and Elias must work together to get rid of an old evil that was intertwined with them for a very long time.

The story was good, captivating but slow, it was slow to the punch and the actual possession seemed short lived. It was a love story with a possessed partner truly not really scary at all.

The feline gives it a 3.5-4 toe beans. Not a true 3.5 but not quite a 4 star book.
