Publisher's Summary
From debut author Cassie Alexander comes a spectacular new urban fantasy series where working the night shift can be a real nightmare.
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.
In addition to being a writer, Cassie Alexander is an active registered nurse in California. Nightshifted is her debut novel.

What the Critics Say
“The best debut I’ve read all year. Nightshifted is simply amazing!” (Kat Richardson, best-selling author of the Greywalker series)
“A winner of a debut novel.” (Kate Elliott, author of the Cold Magic series)
“Medical drama and vampire cold wars intersect in this solid urban fantasy debut.… Alexander’s zombies are particularly well designed, and the hospital environment adds an intriguing additional dimension.” (Publishers Weekly)

"A must read urban fanasty"
Would you listen to Nightshifted again? Why?Yes. It was so funny and amusing to view the world from Edie's view point. She cares and respect her paranormal patients. When others would turn their backs on a paranormal patient she goes the extra miles
What other book might you compare Nightshifted to and why?The Rook by Daniel O'Malley. Both book have strong female characters who find themselves in unusal situations, paranormal, and deal with it with aplomb. They grit their teeth and use common sense and creativity. They are both confused of the inability of "regular folks" to make sense of their world.
Which scene was your favorite?When Edie is working on the "normal" ward and a dragon is loose in the hospital. Because she works with paranormal patients and seen paranormal incidents she is protecting herself by locking herself and the patients in the bathroom. A regular nurse is trying to make logical sense of the rising temperature and noise; when in essence Edie tells her to get a grip.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?yes
Any additional comments?I hope this will become a series.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?I would have really liked this book if about half of it was cut out so much of it did't help the story along.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?I really Like the narrators inflection she has a really sassy voice.

"Too dark for me I'm afraid"
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?Well I don't mind dark books if there a is humor but this one, is going down hill fast
What was most disappointing about Cassie Alexander’s story?the fact that she's tries so hard but always seem to fall short
Did Tai Sammons do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?the voices where ok, not the best I've listened but that wasn't the problem here, it wasn't my style of storie.
What character would you cut from Nightshifted?I didn't finished, maybe I will in a while, but at the moment this book didn't grab me, so I can't really fairly say. And it wouldn't be fair actually.
Any additional comments?I was hoping for something with a bit of fun to lighten the mood, alas that wasn't in the card. I do admit I like lighter books, so maybe this choice was bad for me, writing a story is hard, making a book is hard, so I'm not saying the book is bad, but you must like dark stories, and characters who stuggle all the time. I like having a little fun along the way. So take care, you do have werewolves, vampires and things that go bump in the night, (oh my!) but it's a hard world and and a hard reality. So choose wisely. have fun reading, I sure will,

"darker than I care for"
A new take on waning subject. It is really well written and narrated. I didn't find it a fun read.
