Welcome to the secret wing of County Hospital—where vampires get transfusions, werewolves have silver allergies, and one nurse is in way over her head. Working the nightshift can be a real nightmare.

Nursing school prepared Edie Spence for a lot of things. Burn victims? No problem. Severed limbs? Piece of cake. Vampires? No way in hell. But as the newest nurse on Y4, the secret ward hidden in the bowels of County Hospital, Edie has her hands full with every paranormal patient you can imagine—from vamps and were-things to zombies and beyond.

Edie's just trying to learn the ropes so she can get through her latest shift unscathed. But when a vampire servant turns to dust under her watch, all hell breaks loose. Now she's haunted by the man's dying words—Save Anna—and before she knows it she's on a mission to rescue some poor girl from the undead—which involves crashing a vampire den, falling for a zombie, and fighting for her soul. Grey's Anatomy was never like this.

      Medical drama and vampire cold wars intersect in this solid urban fantasy debut. Edie Spence takes a job as a nurse on County Hospital’s Y4 floor, which caters to paranormal patients. Introduced to a world of vampires, werecreatures, shape-shifters, and zombies, Edie takes it all in stride until she accidentally causes the death of one of her charges. She’s determined to carry out his final wishes—rescuing a girl named Anna—to make amends, which embroils her in a conflict between two vampire Thrones. When the vampires declare her a murderer, it may take more than a vampire lawyer, a zombie boyfriend, and a ghost-possessed CD player to save her. Alexander’s zombies are particularly well designed, and the hospital environment adds an intriguing additional dimension. Edie’s life is full of hard knocks, and though it’s hard to like a heroine who constantly pushes people away, her gradual development into a person who can allow others to care for her is satisfying. Agent: Michelle Brower, Folio Literary Management.

      This debut novel from author and registered nurse Alexander is the first title in a light urban fantasy trilogy. Edie Spence works the night shift in Y4, the county hospital's paranormal wing, in return for aid for her drug-addicted brother. The tale is gritty and dark, with a compelling and fast-paced plot, but the story suffers from choppiness and a lack of explanation about some of the supernatural aspects. Stage/screen actress and audiobook narrator Tai Sammons provides a straightforward delivery and tone. VERDICT Fans of urban and paranormal fantasy might forgive the shortfalls and get hooked on the series. ["Alexander's first novel launches a new series that should appeal to fans of medical thrillers as well as urban fantasy," read the review of the St. Martin's pb, LJ 6/15/12.--Ed.]--Denise A. Garofalo, Mount Saint Mary Coll. Lib., Newburgh, NY
