A Cruel Thirst was an absolutely delightful and soul touching read.
. I previously read Sinner's Isle by the author and I knew I was gonna devour A Cruel Thirst. There is just something about the writing that sucks you into the story. Carolina and Lalo's love story touched me and brought me to tears and I cannot be happier. The whole plot felt easy to understand and interesting, I could never wait to turn the page and 100 pages flew by in no time. The setting did not change too much, which made it great to picture and imagine inside my mind. The characters themselves felt really lovely but also deep. There was never any sort of good or evil. I felt like this depth was handled really well, especially considering it being a forbidden romance (the forbidden part itself makes it thoughtful). I also truly love that the author always has queer important side characters. I feel like many people include queer characters to add some form of diversity but with Montoya's books it feels effortless and normal. As a queer woman it makes me feel welcome and appreciated. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 5 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘀? ⭐ I could not think of anything to make this book better than it is. It feels like the perfect love story and the vampiro storyline was so entertaining. I had no trouble understanding any part of the book and because I sometimes struggle, I really really liked that this was easy to comprehend. For anyone who likes a lovely romance with a strong plot, this is an amazing read!
