And Ana Aguirre, a cop and past Vampire killer who is investigating the death of a young woman. Rodrigo, a Renfield, a companion to Nick’s father who has been sent to hunt down Atl. Nick Godoy, a Necro, a more traditional style of Vampire with sharp teeth and pale skin. Domingo, a lonely street kid trying to stay out of trouble and gather garbage to pay for his next meal. Atl will have to rely on humans and Vampires alike if she is to make it out of Mexico City alive.Ĭertain Dark Things is told from multiple perspectives: Atl, a Tlahuihpotchtli, a race of Vampires that goes back to before the Aztecs. But it’s not just the Vampires she has to be careful of, the gangs of Mexico City aren’t happy to hear blood suckers have returned to their streets and they’re out for blood. A feud between her clan and the Godoy’s, a rival Vampire gang, ended in the death of Atl’s mother and sister and led to her running for her life. Atl is a Vampire, a member of the ancient Aztec clan and she’s on the run. Certain Dark Things is the perfect blend of fantasy, horror and noir, with vivid characters and set in a Mexico City that became a character in and of itself.ĭomingo is a street kid looking for his next meal when he finds Atl, a beautiful and mysterious girl who invites him back to her place… only Domingo might in fact be her meal. Yes, I’m back reviewing ANOTHER Moreno-Garcia book and I’m sure you will all be shocked when I say I loved it. I can confirm all thoughts and opinions are my own.
