Neon Gods meets The Great Gatsby in this spicy modern retelling with a magical twist.

In this sinfully hot modern retelling, recent college graduate Daisy Buchanan never expected to run into the boy she loved and lost years ago...or to discover Gatsby made his millions selling immortality to the highest bidder.

Daisy Finnegan is looking forward to a summer of fun on Glassy Mountain, North Carolina. She doesn't want to think about life after college, or the newly awakened power of her own voice, which has a way of making people do increasingly frightening things. But when her cousin goes missing at an exclusive house party, Daisy confronts the mysterious host...only to discover the wealthy recluse is Jay Gatsby, her childhood sweetheart. Shocked at the change in the boy she once knew so well, Daisy investigates the source of Gatsby's new riches and becomes entangled in a web of dizzying wealth and lies and obsession darker than she ever could have dreamed-culminating in a shocking act of violence that shatters the summer haze and threatens to drown them all.

But it isn't until Gatsby is shot through the heart-and survives-that Daisy discovers the full truth. Gatsby clawed his way up in the world by selling the secret of immortality to the highest bidder, using his lavish parties as the ultimate cover. But Gatsby's intricately-laid plans are in danger...and so, by extension, is he. With her friends' lives at stake, her own untested power still volatile, and an unimaginable threat closing in, Daisy will have to face an impossible choice- side with the man who claimed her heart...or with the monsters who would see him lost to her forever.

An addictive and truly original spicy New Adult retelling of The Great Gatsby with a magical twist.
