This book is the perfect mix of gothic romance, historical elements and the supernatural. There is a lot of romantic tension and passion in the story.
The author also manages to use a romance trope - miscommunication- which I tend to dislike. There are many moments in the story where Nena and Nestor's budding relationship stumbles because they keep things to themselves, or misinterpret each other's meanings. But both characters are so well-formed that as a reader you're just following along the heart-wrenching twists and turns.
