Today we are joining forces with Parliament House Press, to help revealing the cover of A Shot of Gin, a novel by Phoebe Wagner.

Let's take a look at the blurb first!

Juniper “Gin” Cain works security for the vampire-owned All Saints Casino because vampires can’t drink her blood, but she’s pretty sure she’s mostly human. When her blood traits tick a warning that something bad approaches from the south, she doesn’t take the instinct seriously until a radiated zombie staggers into the casino’s club.

The attack draws new attention to Gin and her abilities, and the powerful Vegas vampires want a piece of her. Her fanged boss Colton, a cowboy turned during the Nevada silver rush, helps her escape into the high desert, but the Vegas vampires and radiated zombies keep following. When the Vegas vampires try to kidnap Gin, she accidentally creates a nuclear explosion. Gin realizes if she wants to save the casino and the people she has come to call family, she must give up the idea of being human and figure out where her blood traits really come from, all while trying to keep her home at the Saints Casino, and the rest of Reno, from getting nuked.

Let's look at this fantastic cover:
