We're back with our second book club episode! Ron is back with her Texas tea and Val's got her Vaquero specialty cocktail as they discuss Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas.

Spoiler alert: This book is discussed in full and Val and Ron map out various avenues that they would like to see a story like this unfold on so fair warning!
