Not quite my usual cup of tea by I ended up enjoying this book a lot. I read it because I enjoyed another of the author's books ("Mexican Gothic" also reviewed on this site). The characters were interesting and I enjoyed reading the various points of views in the book. The multiple points of view worked well for the story - not just from Atl and Domingo's perspective but also from members of the rival vampire clan and the police officer that was looking for them. The book ends about like you'd expect from this sort of story with everyone converging all at once. I also felt like the resolution of Atl and Domingo's relationship made sense given who Atl is.
