Vampires, zombies and werewolves are real in Alley Rhodes's world. Only they aren't anything like the myths say. Alley could really care less. She'll leave dating post-humans to the idiots. One night, she goes to cover a local band for the school newspaper and mets Doug. His soft, crooning voice captivates her. She can tell he's a real goth and not a wanna-be like most of her classmates. They start dating and despite a few odd quirks Doug seems pretty normal. Unfortunately, he's a zombie. How did Alley miss that fact? And what does she do now? 
 When I started this book I expected a fun, light read. Adam Selzer does a great job of capturing teenage voice. Without an over abundance of the word like. I could believe Alley was a senior in high school, eager to get the hell out. Her feelings towards Doug were realistic as well. The way she was smitten was cute. The changes her attraction to Doug was handled nicely. It was instant, not too fast. Alley questioned herself, asking herself if she wanted to rearrange her life around Doug. As for Doug, I could say it'd be nice to get to know him a bit better, but how much I saw was good for the plot. What Alley knew about him and her reactions fit how I remember being a teen. She asked at one point how much did she know about Doug? Was it enough? Like any teenager, when he'd show up the question no longer mattered. I remember moments like that well. The vampires were interesting too. There was definitely a whole world that is touched upon. Since the vamps were major players you only learned enough for the story, but it made me want to know more. 
 Over all, it was a cute story about a girl having her first love and the inner turmoil it puts us females through. The supernatural theme added to the turmoil. What I didn't expect was the ending. I did not see that coming and the ending made me cry. The ending fit, but I wasn't expecting it. It was a nice twist too from the usual way paranormal YAs end.
