An extraordinary adventure to read all in one gulp, Death of a Nightingale is a vampire thriller full of darkness, joy, love, absurd humor, and twists that will leave you with bated breath until the end. Grace, a melancholic vampire, calls a suicide hotline asking for advice on how to die but instead connects with Ness, an idealistic hotline operator, who poses the question of what is most important in each of their realities: safety in knowledge or certainty and excitement in death. The two women embark on a dangerous love story; the more Grace reveals about her life on the outskirts of society, the more Ness understands her desire to die while simultaneously falling for her tantalizing, dangerous, and sexy swagger. Impossible to put it down, Death of a Nightingale tackles dark topics of suicide, depression, and loneliness with both sensitivity and a sense of levity by making the reader laugh at the darkest of moments.
