"An emotional and involving tale of grief and the powers of darkness." - Kirkus Reviews
Frankie is mourning her best friend. She blames herself for Anna's death and has been threatened by Anna's wealthy father with consequences if she reveals how Anna really died. She is in free fall, trying desperately to escape into partying and oblivion. A series of confounding events lead Frankie to a mysterious stranger with a deep connection to Anna's family. Tormented by her past, Alba is out for blood, specifically the blood of men who mistreat women. Frankie loves with her whole heart; she is relentlessly candid and often hilarious in the face of devastating and terrifying circumstances. Supernatural creatures run interference in this neo-Gothic East Vancouver as Frankie comes to terms with Alba's nature, as well as her own deepest desires, while Alba fights to protect Frankie's life and mortal soul.
"... raw realism recalling Jay McInerney's Bright Lights, Big City and the sharp lyricism of Ann-Marie MacDonald's Fall On Your Knees... both moving and exciting." - Kirkus Reviews
