This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
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 her every time she enters a room or the growing tension between them… and why he notices her deteriorate when the demon’s thirst for blood grows stronger.

Why I’m Waiting: Do I really need to go into detail about this one? Y’all know how I am about horror novels. And this one as a possession. Those normally terrify me, but this one is written by Isabel Cañas and yeah, I ain’t missing this. Plus, look at this cover! It has like an old school feel and she looks terrified. And for whatever reason, it brings me so much joy lmao I can’t wait to get this in my hands. I am PRAYING that as a Berkley partner this is offered to us because Lordt knows I will be RUNNING to get an ARC of this. I cannot WAITTTTTT!
