"Blood Daughters is complex, suspenseful, topical, and extremely well-told. I've been a fan of Marcos Villatoro's Romilia Chacon novels since the beginning. I hope like hell this book gets the attention it deserves." - C.J. Box | NY Times bestselling author of Cold Wind and Back of Beyond

"Romilia Chacon is one of the most compelling characters in contemporary crime fiction, and Marcos M. Villatoro has brought her to life again with all of his considerable talent and skill. Dashing, stylish and at times harrowing, Blood Daughters may be his best novel yet. Bravo, Villatoro!" - T. Jefferson Parker | Author of The Border Lords and Iron River
