I really like this books take in vampires and the setting in a slightly cyberpunk Mexico City. Definitely something fresh in the realm of vampires, easy to read too and very gritty. 
However some of the characters come a bit short and the ending is quite abrupt, with some storylines hanging loose or seemingly just ultimately there to advance plot for Atl and Domingo. 
Also their love story is very icky considering he's underage.
