I'm not well-versed in vampire stories, so I can't say much about how Certain Dark Things uses or subverts lore. But for a novice, it was very entertaining!
The characters were memorable! The villains were genuinely villainous; the heroes were worth rooting for. Domingo was a golden retriever, and I loved him. He went along wholeheartedly, and I was rooting for him (and the dog) to survive.
It's been a few months now since I finished the novel, but the ending is still in my mind – in a good way! It was satisfying and fit the story.
Despite owning several of Moreno-Garcia's works for years, Certain Dark Things was the first I actually read. Needless to say, I'm a fan now, and her new books are an instant read!
Audiobook Review: The narrator brought this book to life! There are a lot of POVs, and I'd say that's the one thing that may have been improved. Sometimes it was hard to know who was speaking. After about halfway through the book, I was more familiar with the characters/voices and could recognize them better.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
