Aubrey Wants to Die - by Pip Knight (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Love is hard. Being undead is harder ... Dolly Alderton meets True Blood in this dark, funny hell of a story

Aubrey is not what she seems. She's young, beautiful, romantic, obsessive and ... a vampire. All she wants is to be human again, and failing that, she wants to die. But the problem is, she can't. Not by stake through the heart or holy water or crucifix or garlic or fire. And she'd know, she's tried every method ... Twice.

So she's stuck here on this earth, all alone. Even the vampire who made her this way - an aristocratic douchebag called Oscar - has abandoned her.

But everything changes when one fateful night, she meets Jonathan. He's everything Aubrey's ever dreamed of, and what's more, he's her soulmate. Her Bella-Edward story. For the first time in 150 years, she has a reason to hope - eternal life might be bearable after all. So when Jonathan unexpectedly breaks up with her, she'll do anything to get him back.

But that's the exact moment Oscar swoops back into her life. And he has other plans for her. Soon, she's thrown into a world of glamour, glitter, blood and hedonism, a world that has her questioning everything she knows to be true-about life, but also about herself. A world where nothing is simple ... And no-one is safe, either.

Review Quotes

Praise for Aubrey Wants to Die
"Aubrey is the ultimate hot mess vampire, and I inhaled her story in a night. Sexy and laugh-out-loud funny, full of delicious drama and surprisingly moving--Aubrey's chaotic undead rollercoaster of a journey had me cackling, yearning and questioning my entire existence." --Anna Downes, author of Red River Road
"There's nothing quite so charming as a vampire having an existential crisis. Aubrey Wants to Die is full of dark romance, quirky neuroticism and ancient lore. Knight has created a fresh and feisty take on an old genre . . . This character-driven story has lashings of existential angst, black humor and a romantic heart. It's cool, hypnotic and addictive. I loved it." --Vanessa McCausland, author of The Last Illusion of Paige White
"I was absolutely hooked on this smart, sexy thriller, devouring it in a day. Aubrey is in constant danger as she chases her happy-ever-after and tries to find the meaning of life, alongside us mere mortals. You can sink your teeth into this delicious vampire thriller!" --Petronella McGovern, author of The Last Trace
