A Cruel Thirst - ARC

Thank you so much to NetGalley, Random House, and Joy Revolution for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

This 432-page book comes out on 12/17/2024, and is described as “equal parts spicy, heart-stirring, and bloody hilarious.”

Eduardo “Lalo” Villalobos watched his parents get killed by a vampire and has spent all of his time since studying and researching the hellish breed in an attempt to slay them all in revenge. But, when he finally confronts the vampire queen responsible, he is turned instead.

Meanwhile, Carolina Fuentes is the daughter of a long line of vampire hunters and she’s trying to convince her family to let her join their ranks. They tell her it’s too dangerous.

She and Lalo are thrown together in a sexy fake dating, slow burn romance as they team up to take down the original vampire. Featuring a unique take on vampires (Mesoamerican lore) and witty banter, this book takes you by the hand and leads you on an adventure.

This book is dedicated to “wild-hearted daughters: May you continue to give the world hell.” 5/5 Stars!
