Edie Spence is not your typical night nurse. Now don't get me wrong. She still lives the life working the late shifts, coming home to an empty cold apartment, eating whatever is easy on the go, going to dance clubs on days off just to feel normal and hooking up with one night stands but her patients are not your typical. This is where the weird enters. She works on a secretive floor of the hospital with were creatures, vampires, day walkers, zombies, and yes dragons. There is also a mysterious entity that runs this floor from a dimension in between. When her brother got into trouble with his addiction Edie was approached with a proposal. These entities will help with her brother if she came and worked with them. Things will never be "normal" again.
While you read this story it is very clear how lonely working the night shift can actually be for some. You feel like you are disconnected from the world you work in. The only connections you really make are the coworkers you have the joy to work side by side with and the patients under your care. Edie is no different.
The paranormal beings in this series are well portrayed. The vampires are cruel, disconnected, power driven and well organize within their own ranks. The were creatures are diverse within their own kind (werewolves and weredogs) and the zombie is mysterious with his own gross factors and history. Then you have the mysterious entities, dragon, shapeshifters and even a ghost,
If you are going into this story thinking its going to be your typical girl gets mixed into trouble, girl meets boy and falls in love and they work together to get girl out of trouble type you will be disappointed. This is a darker fantasy like no other I have read before and I am jumping right into book two as I finish writing this review.
