Silvia Moreno-Garcia

From a critically-acclaimed novelist Silvia Moreno-Garcia comes Certain Dark Things, a pulse-pounding and action-packed contemporary fantasy that turns vampire fiction on its head. Welcome to Mexico City... An Oasis In A Sea Of Vampires...Domingo, a lonely garbage-collecting street kid, is busy eking out a living when a jaded vampire on the run swoops into his life. Atl, the descendant of Aztec blood drinkers, must feast on the young to survive and Domingo looks especially tasty. Smart, beautiful, and dangerous, Atl needs to escape to South America, far from the rival narco-vampire clan pursuing her. Domingo is smitten.Her plan doesn’t include developing any real attachment to Domingo. Hell, the only living creature she loves is her trusty Doberman. Little by little, Atl finds herself warming up to the scrappy young man and his effervescent charm. And then there’s Ana, a cop who suddenly finds herself following a trail of corpses and winds up smack in the middle of vampire gang rivalries. Vampires, humans, cops, and gangsters collide in the dark streets of Mexico City. Do Atl and Domingo even stand a chance of making it out alive?

"Interesting book. At first I was a little unsure but as I went on I got into it! I liked a lot of the characters and the different species of vampires. Fun read!"

Skye Edelson-Bennett

"This might be my favorite book by Silvia Moreno-Garcia but I think that with every book of hers I finish. Such a unique and we'll thought out take on vampires, a wide cast of well developed characters. This book has it all"

"This was.. fine, I guess? I love many vampire books, but this wasn’t my cup of tea. I’m not a big romance person, so maybe the author’s tendency to make conflicted romance central in all her books just doesn’t work for me. But also this felt lazier, prose wise, than her other books I’ve read? Interesting take on vampires, little differences and also the different species was kind of interesting. Ultimately this just felt a little flat to me."

"The end ****** me up. Good read. "

"This was a really creative and interesting read, but it disappointed me a bit in the end. The vampire lore/politics felt unique and the story was engaging, but the romance between the vampire and the teenage boy was extremely uncomfortable to read and seemed to come out of nowhere, and the cop character felt like a lot of wasted potential."
