Domingo, a lonely garbage-collecting street kid, is just trying to survive its heavily policed streets when a jaded vampire on the run swoops into his life. Atl, the descendant of Aztec blood drinkers, is smart, beautiful, and dangerous. Domingo is mesmerized. <p/>Atl needs to quickly escape the city, far from the rival narco-vampire clan relentlessly pursuing her. Her plan doesn't include Domingo, but little by little, Atl finds herself warming up to the scrappy young man and his undeniable charm. As the trail of corpses stretches behind her, local cops and crime bosses both start closing in. <p/>Vampires, humans, cops, and criminals collide in the dark streets of Mexico City. Do Atl and Domingo even stand a chance of making it out alive? Or will the city devour them all?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Silvia Moreno-Garcia's gritty novel is steeped in the history of Mexico City and vampire lore and yet manages to deftly re-invent the bloodsucker ... <i>Certain Dark Things</i> packs a wallop." --Paul Tremblay, author of <i>A Head Full of Ghosts <p/></i>"With its vibrant prose and stellar world building, <i>Certain Dark Things</i> is one of the best books I've read in years." --V.E.
