Immortality's a bitch. Veronica is eternally fifty-one years old with a proclivity for problematic drinking. Like most hormonally challenged women negotiating the change of life, she is a hot mess. To retain her sanity, she attends weekly AA meetings and adheres to a strict diet of organic, locally-sourced, (mostly) cruelty-free human blood from the hospice facility where she works. Her life stopped being fun about a hundred years ago, right about the time her teenage daughter stole her soul and took off for California with a hot, older guy. These days, Veronica's existence is just that - an existence, as flat and empty as her own non-reflection in the bathroom mirror. When her estranged daughter contacts her via Facebook, Veronica learns that she has one chance to escape her eternal personal summer: she must find and apologize to every one of the people she's turned into vampires in the last century. That is, if they're still out there. With raging hormones and a ticking clock, Veronica embarks on a last-ditch road trip to regain her mortality, reclaim her humanity, and ultimately, die on her own terms. "Full of vampires with spray tans and menopause trying to twelve step their way to salvation, Forever 51 takes vampire fiction into terrifying new territory: middle age. A very funny, very bloody book about growing older and getting dead." - Grady Hendrix , New York Times best-selling author of The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires - "In this must-read adventure, many states are crossed amid much horror and humor." - Booklist " - Complex characters propel this diverting vampire tale." - Kirkus Review - "At turns funny, sad, frustrating, and poignant, Forever 51 is a fast-paced adventure of personal transformation and discovery, and one that you can really (forgive the obvious pun) sink your teeth into." - Bibliotica.com - " Forever 51 was a pure delight and full of sharp wit and clever snark from a fifty-one-year-old vampire trapped in perpetual menopause. The plot was unmatched in originality with curiously compelling storylines that amused and entertained while sucking me into a mysterious subculture that began to feel surprisingly real given the weirdness of the world we've been inhabiting during the last four years and especially the unholy, calamitous, and disastrous year of 2020." - Booksandbindings.com - "If you're looking for a trope-busting, smart and fun book for the vampire fan in your life--add this to your holiday season shopping list!" - Blunt Scissors Book Reviews
