Oh good Lord, where do I start?It definitely was not, what I was expecting from the blurb. There it sounded like Domingo was 12 years old and Atl more like 30+, and they were forming some sort of makeshift family. Very disappointing to read about two stupid teenagers (yeah, I know, Atl's 23, but her behaviours tells something different).<spoiler>I hated nearly everything and everyone in this book, but least of all Bernardino, which makes him my favorite humanoid character. My favorite character was by far Cualli, the dog. At least the dog didn't get killed, else I'd have thrown the book out the window.Chapter 32 was very bad, but chapter 34 was way worse, but the worst by far was chapter 40. Atl's now suddenly trying to behave like an adult? I'm not buying it.I definitely wasn't sad about anyone's death, every single one was deserved.</spoiler>The idea behind the different vampire species is however very interesting, and I liked the appendix.

It's a grim story and is completely different like the authors other books. But I liked the overall idea of humans and vampires lived side-by-side. I enjoyed the thought of drug-dealing-vampires and the mafia-like organisation of the different clans. This detail gave the book its little ✨extra✨. Although, the lore of the world could have been deeper for me to get more invested. It's an atmospheric read with an dangerous and violent setting. Also, the different cultures and their myths which are represented is astonishing. It felt like there was put many hours of research in this book.
