Newly-turned Mexican vampire, Maria, is not just out for blood, she wants answers.
From the twice Bram Stoker-nominated author of The Haunting of Alejandra and Immortal Pleasures, a gripping tale of empowerment, desire and belonging, perfect for readers of A Dowry of Blood and Certain Dark Things.
Maria is a wanted woman. She’s wanted by an Aztec trafficker, a cartel boss, the people she fights for, and now the devil she can’t resist. A would-be immigrant turned vampire, Maria is forced to leave her home and family and embark on a journey across Mexico. She learns to fight, becoming an unlikely bad-ass enforcer of justice. Then an encounter with a violent, ruthless vampire boss leads her to find her creator. Drawn into a world of ancient vampires, deadly conspiracies and a dangerously seductive devil, Maria must find a way to fight for herself and all humankind.
A fierce and seductive horror thriller, pulsing with rage, fear and desire, that explores a vampire woman’s determination to find her place in the world.
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.

-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.
