kynaeus 's review for:

Certain Dark Things by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
3.5
adventurous dark medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Not my favorite by this author but sets out to tell a story of an adventure in escaping narcos with a hint of romance, and it does it well on the back of very interesting worldbuilding - would definitely love to read another story in this world with other vampires

Thought the characters of Rodrigo and Anna were underutilized, and that it was not well-explained why Bernadino flipping to being so willing to help them, but it makes sense considering the short length of this novel. It could have easily been 18 hours with plenty of hijinks and I woulda been here for every minute, having a blast!

An enjoyable read even though I definitely thought that our protag was gay
