Locked in a toxic female friendship, two vampires careen toward catastrophe in this dark and dazzling page-turner, set amidst London's glittering disco scene.
London 1979. Two women with a deep love for disco meet one fateful night on the dance floor, changing the course of both their lives forever.
Nicola, a beautiful and brooding vampire for nearly two centuries, can’t resist fun-loving and feisty Amber from America, ultimately offering an eternity together where the glamour of nightlife always takes center stage.
But not all is what it seems.
Nearly fifty years later, after an unexpected betrayal, Amber wants out from under Nicola’s thumb, but it won’t be so simple to break up this festering friendship when she learns others have done the same—and wound up dead.
Sensing Amber’s restlessness and in one last play to keep her close, Nicola proposes they open a nightclub of their very own, hearkening back to their best days as dancing queens.
Amber agrees but she’s secretly hatching a dangerous escape plan. And if she fails…the party is over for good.

"No one is writing glamorous, razor-tipped novels dripping with as much voice and style as Rachel Koller Croft. If Emerald Fennell, Studio 54, and The Lost Boys had an undead baby, it would be We Love the Nightlife, a story of toxic friendship among disco-loving vampires that’s more fun to binge than a bottle of champagne. Croft’s books are the ultimate good time not only because of her clever twists or bitingly honest depictions of women’s social lives, but because, like the best girl’s girl, they radiate a genuine love of women in all their fangs, finery, and fierceness. What a breath of fresh air."
