My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I'm a sucker for a vampire story, so I was definitely interested in checking this out.
Maria is a young factory worker who gets caught up in the middle of a brutal attack and is turned into a vampire.
Lost and alone, she's forced to abandon her old life and focuses on searching for her maker because she wants answers. What she finds, sends her on an adventure across the world...
This book starts out with a heartbreaking scene that echoes through the whole book. It's also an interesting story about a Mexican vampire trying to do the right thing, while fighting her thirst for blood.
I liked that along the way, she delves into the vigilante life and helps young girls in desperate need of rescue. It's great to see real-life bad guys get what they deserve.
The vampire world is intriguing and uses historical events and familiar figures/situations to enhance the narrative. The unstable political climate of today is woven very well into everything that happens.
I really liked Maria's style, attitude and morals. Not to mention the cool music mentioned throughout.
Although I found the many backstories a little distracting at times, it didn't get in the way of Maria's story. Reading stories featuring strong women is always fun.
