Certain Dark Things by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
dark
tense
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
3.5
The author does a good job creating a rich and diverse world of vampires and narcos, without description impeding the story. There are a few bits of exposition dialogue but they mostly make sense in the context of those characters.
The story is a little slow to get started, since the protagonist is in hiding so isn't doing a huge amount, but when the action gets going it becomes quite tense, and very violent.
