Dr. Gabriella Evans has just discovered that her boyfriend, Damon Drake, is a monster, and the knowledge will shatter her normally ordered life. When a vampire and two zombies attack Damon, he awakens as a zompire--more than an evil vampire, and much more than a mindless zombie. As he discovers his newly acquired abilities, he wonders if he and Gabby have any future together. Can their two species even coexist, much less have love expressed between them? Gabby worries-how much has Damon's conversion changed the man she once loved? Can she love him in his new zompire form? It is only through mutual trust and cooperation, however, that they can succeed in hunting down the offending vampire, discover the motive behind his attack, and defeat his zombie army. Can they rediscover their love along the way, or will their differences lead to their mutual destruction?
