My Soul to Keep

From the award-winning master of horror and Afrofuturism Tananarive Due comes a modern classic of dark introspection.

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 reminiscent of early Anne Rice will win Due a new legion of fans.

I still love it!!!

I have the immortal book series by Due and have enjoyed reading them years ago. So now having the audio versions is like a new adventure all over again, listening to the story from someone else's lips. I love her and hope that she connects with Jordan Peele and bring this book to life in a movie!!! I think he would do an amazing job bringing this story to the big screen, a 5 or 6 part mini series would be amazing! I'm allowed to dream.... aren't I!😊

So good. Why isn’t this a movie already?

Maybe it was the performance. This was suspenseful. I wanted to close my eyes and barely peek to see what would happen. But I can’t do that here, can I? This could be a beautiful, complex, thought provoking movie. Come on, Netflix!

What a phenomenal introduction to a world

I do not want to give anything any, so I will simply say this as an author, Ms. Due has created a wonderful tale. As a narrator, a Peter Frances James has the ability to draw you in, never letting go. I for one cannot wait to continue with the African Immortals series.

Love her writing!

Cannot wait to dive more into this series! Captivating and flawlessly written you’ll love this book and I imagine the whole series!

Narration and storyline was great

I felt like I was in a movie watching everything unfold. This book was absolutely amazing. The narrator was everything. I’m not a fan of audio books but have completed 2 books by this narrator.
