From the New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Brotherhood
âA love letter to the power of music, this thoughtful, humorous exploration of what constitutes living versus mere survival sees Chen (Light Years from Home) at the top of his game.â âPublishers Weekly starred review
"A strong emotional core carries Chenâs (Light Years from Home, 2022) latest, which is ultimately about healing from old wounds and learning how to embrace life again after lossâeven if youâre dead." âBooklist
Being a vampire is far from glamorousâĻbut it can be pretty punk rock.
Everything youâve heard about vampires is a lie. They canât fly. No murders allowed (the community hates that). And turning into a bat? Completely ridiculous. In fact, vampire life is really just a lot of blood bags and night jobs. For Louise Chao, itâs also lonely, since she swore off family ages ago.
At least sheâs gone to decades of punk rock shows. And if she can join a band of her own (while keeping herâĻsituation under wraps), maybe sheâll finally feel like she belongs, too.
Then a long-lost teenage relative shows up at her door. Whether itâs Ianâs love of music or his bad attitude, for the first time in ages, Louise feels a connection.
But as Ian uncovers Louiseâs true identity, things get dangerousâespecially when he asks her for the ultimate favor. One that goes beyond just familyâĻone that might just change everything vampires know about life and death forever.
