Reviews

"[A] gothic tale of doomed love and vengeful spirits.
--The Washington Post

"Don't read this gothic horror right before bedtime, especially if you're prone to nightmares.
--Good Housekeeping

"
Pretty much the perfect Gothic novel... meaning it reads like a brilliant piece of historical fiction and a, 'Okay, I'm gonna need to sleep with the lights on now, ' horror novel."
--Jezebel

"The scary, atmospheric, gorgeous Gothic of my dreams."
--Rachel Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author of The Wife Upstairs

"Gothic terror at its best, layered with tension: class, religious, and sexual. You will be so immersed in its skillful storytelling that the hours will vanish."
--Simone St. James, New York Times bestselling author of The Sun Down Motel

A haunted history, a gory gothic, a forbidden romance. This book kept me up at night, and it was worth every second of lost sleep.
--Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of The Once and Future Witches

"A hypnotic, sinister tale that is equal parts terrifying and luxurious. Cañas's debut is a nightmare lined with velvet."
--Roshani Chokshi, New York Times bestselling author of The Gilded Wolves

"A haunting gorgeous tale of doomed love, vengeful spirits, and tortured faith that I could not put down."
--S.A. Chakraborty, bestselling author of The Empire of Gold

Lush, sinister, and darkly romantic. The Hacienda is a haunting and brilliant debut.
--Alexis Henderson, author of The Year of the Witching

"Absolutely enthralling--I read it in one sitting because its vivid prose and spectacular twists and turns made it impossible to put down."
--Genevieve Gornichec, bestselling author of The Witch's Heart

"As romantic as it is terrifying, The Hacienda is a lush, atmospheric read that never pulls any punches. Horror fans, fantasy fans, and romance fans will all find something to love here."
--Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For the Wolf

"A stunning, spellbinding debut. The Hacienda is bone-chilling and gloriously gothic. Absolutely unmissable."
--Rachel Harrison, author of The Return

The Hacienda is a ghost story that also earns its place as literature. Cañas is a name to watch.
--Daniel Abraham, co-author of The Expanse series

"[A] spooky Gothic story full of supernatural flourishes.
--PopSugar

Cañas clearly knows the genre, alternately deploying and subverting haunted house tropes. The result is a brilliant contribution to the new wave of postcolonial Gothics. Readers won't want to miss this.
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Lush, beautiful, and completely deserving of the comparisons to Rebecca, The Hacienda is essential reading in the gothic revival."
--CrimeReads

[A] blend of horror and mystery with a gothic heart, complete with a heroine on the brink of madness, running into the night in fear. This chilling read exposes the rotting soul of colonialism and manages to be wildly entertaining while doing so.
--Shelf Awareness

"Debut gothic thrills appropriately billed for fans of Silvia Moreno-Garcia's Mexican Gothic and Oyinkan Braithwaite's My Sister, the Serial Killer.
--Library Journal

If you love the Gothic Horror genre but are keen to see a heroine with more agency and a story with plenty of bite, The Hacienda just might be what you've been looking for.
--Mystery & Suspense

If you like gothic horror (creepy manors and the like), then you'll love this highly anticipated thriller that takes place at a haunted hacienda.
--Betches
