For someone damned to be forgettable, Addie LaRue is a most delightfully unforgettable character, and her story is the most joyous evocation of unlikely immortality. Neil Gaiman A Sunday Times-bestselling, award-nominated genre-defying tour-de-force of Faustian bargains, for fans of The Time Traveler's Wife and Life After Life, and The Sudden Appearance of Hope. When Addie La Rue makes a pact with the devil, she trades her soul for immortality. But there's always a price - the devil takes away her place in the world, cursing her to be forgotten by everyone. Addie flees her tiny home town in 18th-Century France, beginning a journey that takes her across the world, learning to live a life where no one remembers her and everything she owns is lost and broken. Existing only as a muse for artists throughout history, she learns to fall in love anew every single day. Her only companion on this journey is her dark devil with hypnotic green eyes, who visits her each year on the anniversary of their deal. Alone in the world, Addie has no choice but to confront him, to understand him, maybe to beat him. Until one day, in a second hand bookshop in Manhattan, Addie meets someone who remembers her. Suddenly thrust back into a real, normal life, Addie realises she can't escape her fate forever.

"This was pretty awesome! Different and held my attention! "

Heather

"This is a good story, and I am glad to have read it, but I don't think I would for a second time. It's very easy to follow even though it jumps through timeliness. I do love Addie and her back story, it's what kept me in the book! It's a sad and lonely vibe book. It's slightly predictable but still gives you a few ah ha moments. It's a pleasant read, one that you will be glad it wad a cold and stormy night 😉"

"I was wondering, "What would happen if I was an immortal and nobody, nobody could remember me...." It was so good, from traveling through time, history, art to peculiar relationships."

"Even though the main character dates a man throughout the story she is Pansexual and her partner is bisexual and it does talk about their previous relationships"

Ava

"An enjoyable read - maybe not in the top books I’ve read but still very entertaining. I actually was quite pleased with the ending, and I’ve seen that a lot of people didn’t like it. It was a little open ended, I’ll say that much."

Anna

"Incredible. Elegant. "
