It's violent, gritty, and faithful to the spirit of la novela negra.
As such, it bears little resemblance to Mexican Gothic or vampire romances. This is a neo-noir set in an alternate Mexico City. Plus, it's a violent neo-noir.įor people who only know me for Mexican Gothic, I should warn you all my books tend to straddle different genres and have a very different feel for one another. One of the five POVs is from a 17 year old (Domingo), but the other POVs are two people in their twenties and two people in their fifties. Do Atl and Domingo even stand a chance of making it out alive? Or will the city devour them all?Īt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.Warning: I don't know why people on Goodreads insist on classifying this as YA, but it's an adult novel. 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. Domingo is mesmerized.Ītl 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. From 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.
