A fledgling vampire and a headstrong vampire huntress must work together–against their better judgment–to rid the world of monsters in this irresistible romantic fantasy.
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 that 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.

There were a lot of things about this book that I liked. I thought the plot was pretty well constructed, and I honestly adored Lalo and Carolina. Bookish, proper boy gets turned into a vampire while a strong-willed girl with a hot temper tries to prove herself as a vampire hunter? Just a great set-up. There was some solid atmosphere and dialogue. All that being said, overall it fell a little flat for me. I'm not sure the writing stood up to the ideas in it, and i think the pacing was a bit off. Still, an enjoyable and romantic adventure.
A super fun romantasy with a fun twist on gender roles with the FMC being the assertive dominant one and the MMC being the less assertive and sensitive one. A fresh take on vampires without the romanticization and the massive age gap.
