For those of you who read Peeps, you’re going to begin this book wondering where Cal, Lacey, and Morgan, our peeps crew from book one are hiding. Trust me, they each have a presence in the story, and two of them will reappear. In the meantime, enjoy a new cast of characters who form a rock band as New York City crumbles around them. With a newly-made (and very hungry) Peep as the lead singer and a love triangle brewing, the band’s dynamics become complicated.

Meanwhile New York City is in crisis. Everyone can sense something is very wrong: the underground rumbings have increased and the rat population is out of control. More and more people are giving away to the “sickness” (vampirism) and are taken away by “angels” (the Night Watch crew). The great battle between the Peeps and those very weird yet deadly enormous worms lurking beneath the city surface is intensifying, and our new band of friends are caught right in the middle of the action.

Find Peeps and The Last Days in the Fiction section under FIC Wes.
