A vampire hunt with a forbidden-romance thread

Set in a pueblo threatened by vampiros, the story brings together Carolina Fuentes, who wants to hunt monsters despite her father’s plans for her marriage, and Lalo Villalobos, newly turned into a vampire and searching for a way to undo the curse. Their uneasy alliance gives the book two linked stakes: confronting a shared enemy and navigating the attraction between a huntress and a vampiro. The premise combines supernatural danger with family expectations and a romance shaped by the characters’ opposing roles.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young adult readers interested in vampire stories and supernatural romance.
  • Readers who enjoy romance involving characters from different cultural backgrounds.
  • Readers drawn to stories about family expectations and characters working together against a common threat.

A YALSA BEST FICTION FOR YOUNG ADULTS BOOK OF THE YEAR - A KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR


Carolina Fuentes wants to join her family in hunting the bloodthirsty vampiros that plague her pueblo. Her father, however, wishes to marry her off to a husband of his choosing, someone who'll take her away from danger.

Determined to prove she'd make a better slayer than wife, Carolina vows to take down a monster herself. But when she runs into un vampiro who is somehow extremely attractive and kind, her plan crumbles.

Lalo Villalobos was content leading a perfectly dull life until un vampiro turned him. Now forced to flee his city, he heads to the pueblo where he believes the first vampiro was made. Surely its residents must know how to reverse this dreadful curse. Instead of finding salvation, Lalo collides with a beautiful young woman who'd gladly drive a dagger through his heart.

Fortunately, Lalo and Carolina share a common enemy. They can wipe out this evil. Together. If his fangs and her fists can stay focused, they might just triumph and discover what it feels like to take a bite out of love.
