Turns out that the true vampires are actually capitalism and the expectations of society and family.
Vampires of El Norte was just okay. I neither loved it nor hated it but I’ll probably forget about it after a few days. I expected something else and maybe more than four scenes with the actual vampires.
When it comes to the relationship between Nestor and Nena, I think I would have been more invested in them if we got flashbacks of them together as children but this book is very much tell and not show.
The ending was also very abrupt.
