Book announcement: VAMPIRES OF EL NORTE coming August 2023!

Mark your calendars, folks! I'm thrilled to announce that my next novel, VAMPIRES OF EL NORTE, is coming to shelves August 29, 2023!

Here's a sneak peak of the utterly gorgeous cover. Check out the full cover reveal over on Crime Reads!
Vampires and vaqueros face off on the Texas-Mexico border in this supernatural western from the author of The Hacienda.

As the daughter of a rancher in 1840s Mexico, Nena knows a thing or two about monsters—her home has long been threatened by tensions with Anglo settlers from the north. But something more sinister lurks near the ranch at night, something that drains men of their blood and leaves them for dead.

Something that once attacked Nena nine years ago.

Believing Nena dead, Néstor has been on the run from his grief ever since, moving from ranch to ranch working as a vaquero. But no amount of drink can dispel the night terrors of sharp teeth; no woman can erase his childhood sweetheart from his mind.

When the United States attacks Mexico in 1846, the two are brought abruptly together on the road to war: Nena as a curandera, a healer striving to prove her worth to her father so that he does not marry her off to a stranger, and Néstor as a member of the auxiliary cavalry of ranchers and vaqueros. But the shock of their reunion—and Nena’s rage at Néstor for seemingly abandoning her long ago—is quickly overshadowed by the appearance of a nightmare made flesh.

And unless Nena and Néstor work through their past and face the future together, neither will survive to see the dawn. 

Preorder here!


Thank you all so much for your support and enthusiasm for The Hacienda since its publication in May. It means the world to me. 💛 I sincerely hope you enjoy Vampires of El Norte just as much--if not more. 

All my love,
Isabel
