'Vampires, ancient evil, a centuries-long feud, and forbidden romance? Montoya brings it all, and I am HERE for every second of it!' - Tracy Wolff, author of the CRAVE series
LOVE IS AT STAKE . . . SO SHARPEN YOUR BLADES!
Carolina wants to join her family in hunting the bloodthirsty vampiros that plague her village, and prove she'll be a better slayer than wife, so she vows to take down a monster herself. But then she runs into an irresistible vampiro who challenges everything she ever knew.
Lalo was content leading a perfectly dull life until a vampiro turned him. Now forced to flee his city and hungry for revenge, he heads to where he believes the first vampiro was made. Instead of finding salvation, Lalo collides with a beautiful young woman who'd gladly drive a dagger through his heart.
Can her fists and his fangs stay focused long enough to triumph over their common enemy, or will their hatred for one another get in the way?

Eduardo "Lalo" Villalobos, 19, watches helplessly from his window as his parents are torn apart by a vampiro. His subsequent obsession with getting justice drives him to accidentally infiltrate a vampiro den, from which he stumbles out a few days later, newly turned and desperate to reverse the process. Carolina Fuentes, 18, is part of a family that hunts vampiros, which they call sedientos—but only men can be hunters. After her supportive grandfather is killed in a sediento attack, she becomes more determined than ever to prove herself as a worthy hunter to her family and exterminate every vampiro. When Lalo and Carolina cross paths, sparks fly in more ways than one. Lalo's plan to cure vampirism aligns with Carolina's goal to wipe all sedientos from existence, prompting the pair to embark on a journey to find and strike at the origins of vampirism, all while fighting their deep—and potentially fatal—attraction. Montoya (Sinner's Isle) centers action, tropey fun, and insta-love romance to spin an adventurous romp that will appeal to romantasy readers. Characters cue as Latinx. Ages 12–up.
