Overview
A fledgling vampire and a headstrong vampire huntress must work together - against their better judgment - to rid the world of monsters. Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Zorro meets Pride and Prejudice in this irresistible romantic fantasy. 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?

Reviews
'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 'Montoya breathes fresh life into the vampire-and-vampire-hunter trope with a vivid world beautifully woven with Latinx lore and a romance both searing and tender. Compelling, vivacious, and filled with heart, A Cruel Thirst is a sparkling addition to the romantasy shelves' -- Amélie Wen Zhao, author of THE SONG OF THE LAST KINGDOM 'A magnificent take on vampire lore. Angela Montoya takes the classic trope of vampire x vampire hunter and breathes new life into it, in more ways than one. Both tender and fierce, A Cruel Thirst is a must-read for fans of good books' -- Kamilah Cole, author of SO LET THEM BURN 'A confident romp that is equal parts witty historical romance and captivating paranormal adventure, Montoya's signature blend of panache, humor, and heart makes A Cruel Thirst exactly the kind of Latinx vampire novel I wanted to read!' -- Isabel Cañas, author of VAMPIRES OF EL NORTE 'Angela Montoya has created a vampire myth that is inspired by Mexican lore but entirely her own. Teens will root for the fierce Carolina, who forges her own destiny and makes her own rules in this lush historical fantasy romance' -- Zoraida Córdova, author of THE INHERITANCE OF ORQUÍDEA DIVINA 'With action that will have you on the edge of your seat and banter that will leave you grinning, A Cruel Thirst has everything you could want in a paranormal romance' -- Margie Fuston, author of THE REVENANT GAMES
