Story
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.

I didn't think I would like it but did
I love Tananarive Due books. I bought and downloaded it as soon as I saw her name. I didn't realize it was short stories until the first one ended as it was an audible book. Damn, I said. I kept listening each time hurt that the stories didn't continue. I was very thankful for carrier series though. All the stories are very good just horribly short 😭.
