An Instant USA Today Bestseller!
Teaming up with your neighbor during a zombie outbreak is a no-brainer, but if it turns out he’s a vampire . . . the stakes couldn’t be higher, in this infectious new paranormal romance from the USA Today bestselling author of Spoiler Alert.
When Edie Brandstrup attempts to save her sweet, seemingly harmless human neighbor from the first major zombie breach in two decades, she’s stunned to be saved by him—and his ridiculously large sword—instead. As it turns out, he's actually a super-old, super-surly vampire. But for all her neighbor's newly revealed cynicism and lethality, Gaston "Max" Boucher (yes, Gaston) is unexpectedly protective. He wants her to stay in his safety bunker until the breach is resolved. Edie can’t risk more innocent people getting killed, though—and Max won’t let her save them alone.
As they unravel a sinister conspiracy to set zombies loose on the world (again), the duo meet a host of lovable allies and discover they're not the only ones willing to fight for the future of humanity. Despite the awful timing, Edie finds herself falling for the vampire who’s helping her save the world . . . but all their dangerous plans could end their future before it even begins. As she and Max battle side by side, Edie must decide whether having a love worth living for also means having a love you'd die for—and, in a world that grows deadlier by the minute, whether that’s a risk she’s willing to take.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
With this lively, laugh-out-loud romantic adventure, Dade (At First Spite) whisks readers to an intriguing post-zombie-apocalypse setting populated by vampires, witches, and werewolves. When soap maker Edie Brandstrup tries to save her "sweet idiot" neighbor Chad from a zombie who has somehow breached containment, he reveals that his name's not really Chad and he's not really human. He's Gaston Maxime "Max" Boucher, cranky fashion influencer and centuries-old vampire. Max is willing to let Edie ride out the zombie incursion, the first such in two decades, in his basement lair, but Edie's determined to alert the authorities that zombies have returned before things get out of control. As the two navigate the sparsely populated containment zone designed to prevent such an escalation, they realize the situation's bad and getting worse: someone released the zombies on purpose. Now only they and a ragtag band of supernatural allies stand ready to save the world from a second zombie apocalypse. Meanwhile, Edie and Max can't deny their growing mutual attraction, which thrives under the constant danger. Dade's leads have serious chemistry, both sexual and emotional, which serves them well throughout their misadventures. Edie's sarcasm and Max's world-weary grumpiness add plentiful humor even as the stakes mount. This is excellent fun.
