Howard is biding his time until he can finally leave for college, where he has been promised it gets better. The last thing he expected was to meet a boy. But George reminds Howard of the movie stars from the 1960s he’s obsessed with. Plus, George is endearingly formal and well-read, and his grandpa fashion is super authentic. After over twenty years together, George is about to lose his life partner. He met James when they were teenagers then lost track of him until they reconnected in their early sixties. Now, James is going somewhere beyond George’s reach—because George is a vampire, forever trapped in the body of a nineteen-year-old. As the two grow closer, George begins to see a future beyond losing his first love, and Howard stops imagining himself always being alone…even if companionship comes at the cost of his mortality. When the discrimination the men have suffered their whole lives rears its ugly head to take away their happy ending, they finally strike back at the world that’s done its best to subdue them their entire lives.

Review

A new YA entry for 2025, Till Death gives us an interesting new take on being immortal, finding love, and finding one’s place in the modern world where the LGBTQIA+ community is still under attack. Author Kellan McDaniel gives us both an amazing gay vampire, but also a gay protagonist whose life isn’t going as expected.

This book is a wonderful read, unvarnished and gripping. The last chapter doesn’t feel like it’s enough—there’s so much more story to tell with these characters. And it felt like the ending needed another chapter before the last—events off page deserved to have been seen.
