Synopsis

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

Locked in a toxic female friendship, two vampires careen toward catastrophe in this dark and dazzling page-turner, set amidst London's glittering disco scene.

London 1979. Two women with a deep love for disco meet one fateful night on the dance floor, changing the course of both their lives forever. 

Nicola, a beautiful and brooding vampire for nearly two centuries, can’t resist fun-loving and feisty Amber from America, ultimately offering an eternity together where the glamour of nightlife always takes center stage.

But not all is what it seems.

Nearly fifty years later, after an unexpected betrayal, Amber wants out from under Nicola’s thumb, but it won’t be so simple to break up this festering friendship when she learns others have done the same—and wound up dead. 

Sensing Amber’s restlessness and in one last play to keep her close, Nicola proposes they open a nightclub of their very own, hearkening back to their best days as dancing queens. 

Amber agrees but she’s secretly hatching a dangerous escape plan. And if she fails…the party is over for good.

This cover drew me in instantly, but I didn’t feel like the book followed up on the promises the cover and description made. I didn’t find this book to be as exciting as I hoped.

Ashley Winstead, author of Midnight is the Darkest Hour
