Tananarive Due
"An eerie epic. I loved this novel." -- Stephen KingThe award-winning master of horror, acclaimed author, screenwriter, and scholar Tananarive Due’s classic African Immortals series starts with an electrifying piece of dark fantasy, My Soul to Keep. When Jessica marries David, he is everything she wants in a family man: brilliant, attentive, ever youthful. Yet she still feels something about him is just out of reach. Soon, as people close to Jessica begin to meet violent, mysterious deaths, David makes an unimaginable confession: More than 400 years ago, he and other members of an Ethiopian sect traded their humanity so they would never die, a secret he must protect at any cost. Now, his immortal brethren have decided David must return and leave his family in Miami. Instead, David vows to invoke a forbidden ritual to keep Jessica and his daughter with him forever. Harrowing, engrossing and skillfully rendered, My Soul to Keep traps Jessica between the desperation of immortals who want to rob her of her life and a husband who wants to rob her of her soul. With deft plotting and an unforgettable climax, this tour de force that Stephen King called 'An eerie epic' is sure to win Due a legion of new fans.

"I had a hard time getting into this book. Which I think affected how I ultimately feel about the book. I loved the concept of the immortals and I got seriously confused until the stories finally merged the characters together. But more than anything I didn't like David or Jessica. And that made it hard to care about either one of them.<br/>They both seem really selfish at times . And I can see where David's obsession cones from it just doesn't make it easier to read. <br/>And I wish there would've been more clarity regarding Jessica's dad and how and why he was able to interact with them..."
"This is definitely a freaky and disturbing story. Don’t expect a happy ending in this one and is will leave you rather haunted quite literally.<br/><br/>I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review."
