Synopsis

Welcome to the secret wing of County Hospital—where vampires get transfusions, werewolves have silver allergies, and one nurse is in way over her head. Working the nightshift 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.

Goodreads review by Lauren on August 04, 2022

Nightshift nurse meets the supernatural! This was a great start to the series where no-nonsense Edie Spence's life begins to merge more into the supernatural world, and not just at work. Cassie Alexander's twist on the paranormal world had me up late into the night to read just one more chapter. As......more

Review courtesy of All Things Urban Fantasy NIGHTSHIFTED is like a dark and twisted version of Grey’s Anatomy with vampires, zombies, and werewolves taking up residence in County Hospital’s Y4 wing. I love the concept of a paranormal wing of a hospital which makes the already intense environment all......more

“The best debut I’ve read all year. Nightshifted is simply amazing!” Kat Richardson, bestselling author of the Greywalker 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…Edie’s life is full of hard knocks, and though it’s hard to like a heroine who constantly pushes people away, her gradual development into a person who can allow others to care for her is satisfying.”  Publishers Weekly
