ARC BOOK REVIEW: A Cruel Thirst by Angela Montoya
REVIEW:
Thank you to netgalley and Joy Revolution for a free copy of this book. I am leaving this review voluntarily and all opinions are my own.
I loved this unique take on vampire lore. Once again a really strong female
lead character who knows what she wants and is determined to prove that she is
just as capable as the men in her world. Only her grandfather believes in
her.
After hunting for the vampire that killed his parents Lalo himself is turned
and is desperate to find a cure and protect his sister. They travel to where
the first vampire is said to live in order to find him, kill him and rid him
of the curse before he turns into an animal.
Carolina's whole family are vampire hunters and protectors of their village.
When she first encounters Lalo she tries to kill him until she actually
listens to him and learns more about her family, their connection to the
vampires and what she can do to help.
The interaction between Lalo and Carolina is hilarious and fantastic. I loved
it. This book is geared toward the younger side of YA but I thought it was
beautifully written and anyone would enjoy it. The vampire lore is unique and
well done. It's rare you find a book that has a different take on vampires so
I really appreciated it. Definitely a great read.

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.
