Certain Dark Things by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

4.75

Vampires! This is a unique blend of vampire lore, incorporating everything from cultural myths to references from books/movies. It is set in an alternative Mexico City, which feels both familiar and otherworldly, providing an intriguing backdrop for the vampire factions and lore. What truly stands out is the morally gray nature of all the characters; each one is flawed and complex. I really enjoyed the story, though I did scream a bit towards the end. The Encyclopaedia Vampirica was fascinating. I would love to read more books set in this world!
