Heart pounding action, delightfully madcap humour, and a swoony romance to lose your head over… I couldn't turn the pages fast enough! — JENNA LEVINE, author of My Roommate is a Vampire

I could read Olivia Dade books for all eternity. — ALICIA THOMPSON, author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers

Surviving the zombie apocalypse is one thing, but falling for the vampire next door? That's the real nightmare…

When Edie Brandstrup attempts to save her sweet, seemingly harmless human neighbour 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 neighbour’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.

About the Author

Olivia Dade grew up an undeniable nerd, prone to ignoring the world around her as she read any book she could find. Her favourites, though, were always, always romances. As an adult, she earned an M.A. in American history and worked in a variety of jobs that required the donning of actual pants: Colonial Williamsburg interpreter, high school teacher, academic tutor, and (of course) librarian. Now, however, she has finally achieved her lifelong goal of wearing pajamas all day as a hermit-like writer and enthusiastic hag. She currently lives outside Stockholm with her delightful family and their ever-burgeoning collection of books.
