Different vampire species set with a backdrop of neo-noir Mexico City with human and vampire gang activity? This was the perfect book pitch for meeeee! 🦇
Atmospheric, spooky, phenomenal prose, and memorable characters to boot! The story of how Certain Dark Things was published is almost as fun as the plot itself! Various vampire species sest in neo-noir Mexico City, where the advancement of technology conflicting with the socioeconomic wealth gap is fascinating. I listed to this on audiobook, and I loved it! This is absolutely the beginning of my embrace with Moreno-Garcia's work. I can't WAIT to read her other work!
