"Silvia Moreno-Garcia's gritty novel is steeped in the history of Mexico City and vampire lore and yet manages to deftly re-invent the bloodsucker. Do Atl and Domingo even stand a chance of making it out alive? Or will the city devour them all? Vampires, humans, cops, and criminals collide in the dark streets of Mexico City. As the trail of corpses stretches behind her, local cops and crime bosses both start closing in. Her plan doesn't include Domingo, but little by little, Atl finds herself warming up to the scrappy young man and his undeniable charm. Atl needs to quickly escape the city, far from the rival narco-vampire clan relentlessly pursuing her. Atl, the descendant of Aztec blood drinkers, is smart, beautiful, and dangerous. Domingo, a lonely garbage-collecting street kid, is just trying to survive its heavily policed streets when a jaded vampire on the run swoops into his life. Welcome to Mexico City, an oasis in a sea of vampires. When they start to raise the body count in the city, it attracts the attention of police officers, local crime bosses, and the vampire community"-įrom Silvia Moreno-Garcia, the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic, comes Certain Dark Things, a pulse-pounding neo-noir that reimagines vampire lore. But Atl's problems-Nick and Rodrigo-have come to find her. He clings to her like a barnacle until Atl relents and decides to let him stick around. Then he meets Atl, the descendant of Aztec blood drinkers.
Here in the city, heavily policed to keep the creatures of the night at bay, Domingo is another trash-picking street kid, just hoping to make enough to survive.
