A vampire’s search for answers and belonging

Maria’s transformation into a vampire compounds an already perilous journey: forced to leave her home and family, she travels across Mexico while facing threats from traffickers, a cartel boss, and other vampires. Her search for the one who created her leads into a wider world of ancient vampires, conspiracies, and a devil who exerts a dangerous pull. The story combines horror-thriller conflicts with questions of justice, desire, and where Maria belongs, as she learns to fight for herself and the people she wants to protect.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For adult readers of vampire horror and horror thrillers.
  • For readers interested in Mexican settings, migration, and stories of justice and belonging.

Book overview

Newly-turned Mexican vampire, Maria, is not just out for blood, she wants answers.

From the twice Bram Stoker-nominated author of The Haunting of Alejandra and Immortal Pleasures, a gripping tale of empowerment, desire and belonging, perfect for readers of A Dowry of Blood and Certain Dark Things.

Maria is a wanted woman. She's wanted by an Aztec trafficker, a cartel boss, the people she fights for, and now the devil she can't resist. A would-be immigrant turned vampire, Maria is forced to leave her home and family and embark on a journey across Mexico. She learns to fight, becoming an unlikely bad-ass enforcer of justice. Then an encounter with a violent, ruthless vampire boss leads her to find her creator. Drawn into a world of ancient vampires, deadly conspiracies and a dangerously seductive devil, Maria must find a way to fight for herself and all humankind.

A fierce and seductive horror thriller, pulsing with rage, fear and desire, that explores a vampire woman's determination to find her place in the world.
