If you had to pick only one of the books on this list to read, cross off the others right now and run, don’t walk, to the nearest book store, and get this book.
Consider the man or woman in your life that you think you know so well. Do you? What if you found out that your spouse cannot die? And what if that knowledge put you and your child in danger?
Jessica Jacobs-Wolde writes for the Miami Sun-News. She has a loving husband, David, and daughter, Kira. She has a deal to collaborate on a new book with her friend and fellow journalist, Peter Donovitch.
Her life could not move along more splendidly. Until David climbs up a ladder to get their cat out of a tree, and falls. And breaks his body. And refuses to see a doctor. And survives. And walks around a few days later like it never happened. And tells her they must run, because the other immortals out there will not let her live now that she knows of their existence.
Tananarive Due writes a character driven adventure with an African-American heroine in a literary field of plot driven stories about white male heroes. That alone makes me recommend it. The fact that the book will chew you up, spit you out, and make you beg for more? Gravy.
