My Soul to Take: A Novel | Tananarive Due
Essence bestselling and award-winning author Tananarive Due delivers a heart-stopping new novel continuing the story of descendants of an immortal line of people are the only ones capable of saving the world. Fana, an immortal with tremendous telepathic abilities, is locked in a battle of wills. Her fiancé is Michel. But Johnny Wright, a mortal who is in love with her, believes that if she doesn’t stay away from Michel, they will become the Witnesses to the Apocalypse described in the Book of Revelation. Fana and the Life Brothers are rushing to distribute their healing “Living Blood” throughout the world, hoping to eliminate most diseases before Fana is bound to marry Michel. Still, they cannot heal people faster than Michel can kill them. Due weaves a tangled web in this novel, including beloved characters from her bestselling Joplin’s Ghost, in a war of good against evil, making My Soul to Take a chilling and thrilling experience.

Mehso-so

And with that, I'm done with the African Immortals series. Although I think Due does an excellent---and creative---job of portraying the complicated relationship between parents and their children as they grow into adulthood, many times throughout this novel I found the characters' actions to be inconsistent or their motivations to be confusing, and the ending doesn't really satisfy me. It's possible that reading Joplin's Ghost might help a bit.

ImperfectCJ I just realized, I've read so many of her books already, I'm within fairly easy reach of being a Tananarive Due completist (at least with her novels). 3y
