monicadee 's review for:

Certain Dark Things by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
3.75
dark fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No

A great concept, well executed, but I wanted more. More world building, more character development, more story! My greatest takeaway is that it's too short and would do better as a fully-fleshed out novel. Still, it's an interesting, fresh take on mainstream vampirism. It's gritty, dark, and feels only slightly fantastical. and I enjoyed the main characters Domingo and Atl--and the dog!
