BOOK BLURB

Carolina Fuentes wants to become a vampire hunter like the rest of her family, against her father’s wishes to marry her off to a man who will take her away from their vampire infested pueblo. Lalo Villalobos, a fledgling vampire with a younger sister to protect, is desperate to find a cure for his curse.

REVIEW

The pace is consistent with plenty of action, banter, and awkward situations that made me laugh out loud! I adored Lalo, who is super sweet and bookish, and his interactions with the fierce Carolina were so much fun.

It’s refreshing to see a vampire romance where the two are the same age instead of hundreds of years older, especially since they are both relatively inexperienced teenagers.

This book solidly delivered on the vampire aspect, featuring vampire lore and origins that were new to me, and had so many awesome fights scenes.

I also loved the way this book didn’t shy away from loss and grief, and the way those themes played into the vampire storyline.
