On Esperanza:

"Every time I start reading a scary novel, I tell myself that it can't possibly scare me. Usually, I'm right. But this time I was treated to a deliciously scary, original and just plain wonderful story. I was swept away into a world that I keep telling myself couldn't exist. Or could it?"

"Riveting! This book will possess you!"

 "This engrossing thriller is escapist fantasy at its best. MacGregor's visual style immerses readers in the landscape as her characters come alive. The suspense is palpable and the pace relentless as the dread grows.  Even those who don't scare easily will find this bone chilling."

I love a good ghost story, I always have. There’s something about the idea of another world full of spirits and souls watching and wanting to interact with the living that always appeals. The ghosts in ESPERANZA fill the void.

MacGregor builds a believable world in ESPERANZA, full of mythology and mysticism, and creates a sense of palpable danger with swift and nail-biting action.

It's been quite a while since I've been caught off guard by a book. Usually I know from the jacket or the first few pages what I'm getting into, but not this time. I couldn't put it down until I figured out what happened next and even then I couldn't stop reading until I found out how it ended... To say the least, Esperanza by Trish J. MacGregor blindsided me. It's like the recipe for a great meal. The plot intertwines a bit of romance with some horror, adds little history and some fantasy for good measure, and leaves you wanting more at the end. If I was to compare it to other stories, I found a bit of Quantum Leap in it, a little bit of Somewhere In Time, and a bit of the The Time Traveler's Wife.
