Angela Montoya's books are healing. She mixes a delightful amount of humor, action, swoony phrases, grief, and pairs it all up with the perfect ending. Her debut Sinner's Isle helped heal my inner child and A Cruel Thirst is such a good message for hope and trying to do the right thing even if you cannot guarantee you will be standing in the end. It is still worth it to look out for those around you even when you feel like you cannot go on. Sometimes the outcome is worth the burden.
"And what is a few moments when our souls have known each other since the beginning of time" ->Get you a man you barely know that will pretend to be in love with you and loves literature!
Oh, what a story and a series of dominoes falling into place. Lalo witnessed a vampire take the life of his parents and has spent countless years doing research and preparing for the day he will avenge them. Except, things don't go as planned when he finds himself becoming the very thing he despises. Lalo fights against his monstrous instincts and goes in search of a cure or a way to end vampirism altogether bringing his sister alongside him to protect her.
Carolina wants to be a vampire hunter, the rest of her family is, but they won't allow it. One of the few people who believed in her gets his life ripped away by a vampire. Of course, blame is thrown on her. Now revenge against vampires is at the forefront of her mind.
đź“–Vampire x Vampire Hunter
đź“–Fade to Black
đź“–Fake Dating (fake engagement)
đź“–Hate to Love
đź“–Mutual Pining (loved their inner monologues)
đź“–Strong FMC
đź“–Two romances (one is sapphic and very in the background)
