My first read of 2020 was this entertaining vampire novel from Latina author V Castro. It’s a wild ride, with a globe-trotting plot spanning multiple time periods, a kick ass heroine and a refreshing take on vampire lore. It’s great fun from first page to last, with effective scenes of horror, enough sex to raise the pulse rate a little and a great sense of melodrama. Best of all, it champions the underprivileged, with heroine Maria fighting oppression as well as demons.
