From debut author Cassie Alexander comes a spectacular new urban fantasy series where working the nightshift can be a real nightmare. Nothing compares to being Nightshifted. 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…

Blurb promised great things - sounded like a fresh and interesting take. The execution though? Hated the heroine, she irked me and was TSTL, making bad choices and failing to follow through.Disliked the approach, story, lead. Pretty much everything in fact.
While Alexander's Edie Spence series is still going strong it will be going on without me. I have become one of those people who can now walk away from an ongoing series if it jumps the shark or loses steam or my interest shifts. I've liked and still do like Edie but Deadshifted didn't work for me...
Edie Spence is a bit of a loner, she just recently landed a new job at the worst hospital in the city, County. Even worse she is on a secret floor called Y4 where they take care of society’s paranormal citizens (i.e. shifters, zombies, vampires, etc). She is adjusting to life fairly well when she ma...

If I ever gave fear a fighting chance, my life would be all but over. I smiled defiantly and he caught my head between his hands and pulled ...
I love the writing, there are so many cogent passages and turns of phrase that my copy of Nightshifted is decorated with post-it flags, and the well constructed plot kept the book in my hand, but it’s the main character, vibrant, ironic, well meaning Edie Spence, that totally won me over for this s...
