Listen. I loved Montoya's debut novel, but this follow up really shows that Montoya spent time perfecting the craft. The new lore about vampires is my absolute favorite part of this, connecting the undead to a god of the underworld is genius and really adds something new to the vampire trope. I was swooning for the romance between Lalo, the recently turned vampire, and Carolina, the huntress. Just the whole "she's scary but enticing" thing by Lalo had me kicking my feet. Everything about this novel had me blowing through it to reach the end and see if Lalo and Carolina had a happy ending. I'm excited for Montoya's next book!

2.5 ⭐ This took me a long time to get into at the start, nearly DNF'd a couple of times as I wasn't feeling it and the dialogue felt very cringe (to me). It picked up in the middle and then dipped off again in the end, had to skim through the last 10% just to get it finished as I was tempted to give up.

I just think its a case of it wasn't for me. Felt a bit TOO YA for my personal taste.
