What do an ambitious young professor and a flighty bohemian copywriter have in common? Unlikely friendship, nights out in Milwaukee, vampire bites, tragic young death, and being thrust into a supernatural turf war.
After an end-of-the-semester night on the town, Mage and Rave wake up sans heartbeats and feeling less than best. They’re locked up in a clammy old basement in their Underoos feeling a bit too old to have had that kind of night out on the town. When Andrew, the leader of one of Wisconsin’s oldest vampire families comes to release them from their prison, their lives go off the rails.
Not only did they drink too much, but they were murdered by vampires in the process, and they awoke as newly undead members of Wisconsin’s bustling underground paranormal community. What follows is a too-fast introduction to a Vampire family they’re not sure they want to belong to, a raging turf war where their afterlives are at stake, and a handful of frustratingly attractive vampires attempting to court them during the chaos.
Will they stay or join one of the enemy families? Will they throw reason out the window for a chance at vampire happily ever afters? Or, as is their way, will they muck everything up?
