Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Breaking the Spine to let us share our excitement for books coming out soon.
Signal to Noise has been on my TBR for a while, but has fallen victim to the not enough time to read all the books issue. But with this upcoming book set in Mexico, and featuring vampires, I am going to have to finally read this author. Sounds really good!
Certain Dark Things by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Also by this author: Certain Dark Things, The Beautiful Ones
Published by Thomas Dunne Books on October 25th 2016
Pages: 336
Certain Dark Things combines elements of Latin American mythology with a literary voice that leads readers on an exhilarating and fast-paced journey.
Welcome to Mexico City, an oasis in a sea of vampires. Here in the city, heavily policed to keep the creatures of the night at bay, Domingo is another trash-picking street kid, just hoping to make enough to survive. Then he meets Atl, the descendant of Aztec blood drinkers. Domingo is smitten. He clings to her like a barnacle until Atl relents and decides to let him stick around.
But Atl’s problems, Nick and Rodrigo, have come to find her. When they start to raise the body count in the city, it attracts the attention of police officers, local crime bosses, and the vampire community. Atl has to get out before Mexico City is upended, and her with it.
In 2015, Silvia’s debut, Signal to Noise, was named on seven year’s best lists: B&N’s Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog, RT, BookRiot, Buzzfeed, i09, Vice, and Tor.com. Certain Dark Things was also listed on B&N’s Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog as one of 42 books they can’t wait to read in 2016 and on io9 as one of 40 Science Fiction and Fantasy Books That Will Rock Your World In 2016!
Can’t wait! The same thing happened to me. I bought a copy of Signal to Noise but never could fit it in. At least it will be there waiting if I love this and need to read more of this author:-)

Hope you enjoy this book!
Renee My WOW
I think I’ve seen this one around because the cover feels really familiar, but I’ve never read the blurb! It sounds like a really good read. I love it when urban fantasy uses mythology as its inspiration! Thanks for sharing 🙂 I hope you have a great week!

I’ve been waiting for this one for quite some time. I love the cover and it seems to be getting a lot of buzz. Hope we both love it.
Oh my goodness, yes. This looks absolutely fantastic! Diverse urban fantasy is my bookish catnip, and this certainly seems to fit the bill! Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Lisa. 🙂
