Atl is on the run. Her family slaughtered. Her life in chaos. Her hunger ... imminent. She needs to feed and she needs to get out of Mexico City.

Domingo was in the wrong place at seemingly the right time ... right for Atl at least. She tells him she is looking for a friend and he goes with her. Domingo is not what she expects and just the same vampires (which Atl is) are not what Domingo has been led to believe.

Can this unlikely pair escape the vampire clan coming after Atl and make it out of Mexico City? Or will they fail and end up on a slab instead?

Set in a futuristic world where vampires are driven out in some places and overtaking in others, we are given a slow burning suspense. I say suspense as we are following the storyline of Atl and Domingo as they try to find a way to get out of Mexico City. They are on the run from humans and vampires both.

While it's not fast-paced or overly thrilling, it is atmospheric and dark. I LOVE this.

This author is amazing as they can write across genres. So far I have read 3 of their books, and loved them all. This one is an adult Sci-Fi/Fantasy and one I wholly recommend.

I sincerely appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a review copy. All opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone.
