So . . . I didn't handle the zombie apocalypse well. I used to be a third-grade teacher, but since the Gorging, my life has been . . . kinda rotten.

My new owner is Atlan, one of the vampire warriors who guard Blue City's walls and defend us from the zombies. The vampires are like celebrities around here. It's my job to provide Atlan with a clean blood source and any other services he needs.

Nora Reid believes scientific laws control everything, even love. With her grandparents' epic first kiss story cemented in her brain, Nora develops a hypothesis she's determined to prove: for each person in the world, there is exactly one other person, and at first kiss, they'll experience an immediate and intense reaction.
