LAST CALL AT THE NIGHTSHADE LOUNGE
Book ID/图书代码： 11186016B87005
English Summary/英文概要： ?? Fantasy action in a "grown up" setting--like a boozier Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or Harry Potter for adults. Perfect for readers who grew up with fantasy and are now of legal drinking age. ?? "New Adult" setting and post-grad characters are fresh and relevant for young-but-not-too-young readers in the 18-25 age group.
?? Vintage cocktail-book packaging makes the novel look intricate and decorative--a speakeasy spell book.
?? Includes over 10 cocktail recipes from ancient book of cocktail lore to brew up at home--magic powers not included!
Recent college graduate Bailey Chen has a few demons: no job, no parental support, and a rocky relationship with Zane, the only friend who’s around when she moves back home after university. But when Zane introduces Bailey to his cadre of monster-fighting bartenders, her demons get a lot more literal. Like, chupacabra literal. Soon, it’s up to Bailey and the ragtag band of magical mixologists to take on whatever—or whoever—is behind the mysterious rash of gruesome deaths in Chicago, and complete the lost recipes of an ancient tome of cocktail lore.

Awards/获奖情况：“这部处女作动作小说情节紧张，充满幽默，非常适合青少年阅读。”——《图书馆杂志》
“…one of the most fun urban fantasies that I have ever read, with a sharp, kick-ass heroine who faces demons, a pushy mom, a possibly unrequited love interest and a plot to take over the world. You know you should be reading this with a tall, cool glass of your favorite libation close at hand.” –San Diego Union Tribune
“The main character makes this book great, as the voice and insight are believable and fun. This book will appeal to a wide range of sf fans as the rest of the cast is believable and the hidden world of tremens (demonlike creatures) is great.”-Booklist
