A witty, fish-out-of-water paranormal romance that pits a newly undead city boy against rugged terrain, evil vampires, and a partner who despises his kind.

What it feels like

Reading this book feels like a brisk, entertaining collision between urban fantasy and a rugged Western adventure. The narrative thrives on a playful, fish-out-of-water energy, dropping a newly turned, city-dwelling vampire into the unfamiliar wilds of Wyoming. The atmosphere balances the suspense of hunting down evil supernatural forces with the crackling, enemies-to-lovers tension of a partnership built on mutual distrust. The prose is snappy and accessible, prioritizing witty banter and the humorous friction between a hero out of his element and a heroine who harbors a deep grudge against his kind. It is a delightful, fast-paced escape for readers who crave mass-market paranormal romance that doesn't take itself too seriously, offering a satisfying blend of action, humor, and simmering romantic payoff.

About the book

Phineas McKinney thought New York City was tough, until he was attacked by Malcontents-- evil vampires who consider mortals to be snacks. Saved by the good vampires, Phin swore to devote his now undead life to stopping the Malcontents. He's got his job cut out for him when word comes that their enemy may be hiding in Wyoming. What does a city boy like him know about horses and campfires? Good thing he's got Brynley Jones with him... if only she didn't hate every vampire on earth.
