O knihe
Frankie is mourning her best friend. She blames herself for Anna's death and has been threatened by Anna's wealthy father - if Frankie reveals to anyone that Anna died from illicit drugs, he says he will have her thrown in jail for providing the drugs. Frankie is in free fall, trying desperately to escape into partying and oblivion. A series of confounding and frightening events lead Frankie to the lair of a beautiful Roman vampire, an ancestor of Anna's. Alba is tormented by her ancient past and out for blood, specifically the blood of men who mistreat women. Frankie loves with her whole heart; she is relentlessly candid and often hilarious in the face of devastating and terrifying circumstances. Demons and faeries run interference as Frankie comes to terms with Alba's nature while Alba fights to protect Frankie's life and mortal soul. The mood is West Coast Gothic circa 2017, steamy city buses, crushed velvet thrift store dresses with fun fur jackets and fishnets, grey skies, pot smoke and first early spring cherry blossoms. Frankie Forever relates to works like Tithe by Holly Black, Even Though I Knew the End by C.L. Polk, The Ancient Magus' Bride by Kore Yamazaki, Carmilla by Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu and Only Lovers Left Alive, Jim Jarmusch. The audience for Frankie Forever will be vampire fiction fans, people experiencing loss and complicated grief, young people who think they've made irredeemable mistakes and readers looking for queer love stories that are complicated, scary, funny, and eternal.
