Critics Review
Praise for Maria the Wanted:
A high-octane, heartfelt story that puts a refreshingly human spin on the birth-of-a-vampire tale.
-Kelley Armstrong, New York Times bestselling author of The Haunting of Paynes Hollow and the Women of the Otherworld series
Without a doubt, V. Castro is a searing and stunning voice in modern horror. Maria the Wanted takes the vampire mythos and entirely reinvents it in a way only V. Castro can. Dark, sexy, and a whole lot of fun, this book should not be missed.
-Gwendolyn Kiste, Four-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Haunting of Velkwood and Reluctant Immortals
Fast, fun, and furious, Maria the Wanted gives us a new vampire mythology with echoes of Anne Rice and a powerful heroine determined to save herself - and the world.
-Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times-bestselling author of House of Idyll and Guillotine
A gripping tale of heart-wrenching loss, gory vengeance and brutal justice! Never underestimate the weak, especially a woman armed with deadly fangs and a blistering, all-consuming rage! A relentless page-turner!
-Nuzo Onoh, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Where the Dead Brides Gather and Futility
Brutal, bloody and brilliant, Maria the Wanted will shock and delight you. It’s V. Castro at her very best.
-Tim Lebbon, New York Times-bestselling author of Secret Lives of the Dead and Among the Living
“Seductive… Maria herself is a force to be reckoned with, and readers will gladly cheer her on her bloody way.”
-Publishers Weekly
