Book overview
AN ADDICTIVE & DANGEROUSLY SPICY NEW ADULT RETELLING OF THE GREAT GATSBY WITH A VAMPIRIC TWIST.
Daisy is a recent college grad looking to get her feet back under her after a nasty breakup with her uber-controlling ex. When her cousin Nick convinces her to come to a lavish party being thrown by some mysterious new money showoff, she never expects to find the boy she loved and lost years ago...or to discover that Gatsby made his millions selling immortality to the highest bidder.
Daisy Finnegan is looking forward to the endless golden freedom of summer. No more college, no more pressure, no more worries. But when her cousin goes missing at an exclusive house party, Daisy is all too ready to confront the mysterious host...only to discover the wealthy recluse is Jay Gatsby, her childhood sweetheart--now sinfully hot and impossible to deny.
She could never resist him, and it isn't long before she's entangled in a web of wealth and lies and obsession, culminating in a shocking act of violence that shatters the summer haze and threatens to drown them all.
But it isn't until Gatsby is shot through the heart--and survives--that Daisy discovers the truth of how he clawed his way up in the world: by selling the secret of immortality to the highest bidder. Now with her friends' lives at stake, her own dizzying new powers still volatile, and an unimaginable threat closing in, Daisy will have to face an impossible choice: Side with the man who claimed her body and soul? Or with the monsters who would see him lost to her forever?
