3.0

This book takes traditional vampire lore and infuses it with all new species and subtypes of the familiar creature. That was appreciated and very unique, especially as the lore intertwined with Mexican culture and Aztec history. However, the book's plot was relatively one note and didn't leave much development for the characters. A split narrator structure meant shifting between 5 different viewpoints, leaving me as a reader more confused than engaged.
