The audiobook version of "couldn't put it down" - despite its length I read it in a week! Expertly read by Peter Francis James.

Even though I knew this was not the type of typical supernatural book, I decided to give it a chance anyway. I dont know if I will be able to make it to the other 3 books. David pissed me off every step of the way. I wanted to shake the hell out of Jessica cause she kept making stupid decisions.

Great intriguing story about a man who has lived for centuries and the woman he falls deeply in love with. The relationship dynamics are deep and complicated and the background development is really well done.

4.25, rounded.

In the first installment of the African Immortals series, Tananarive Due does a great job establishing the backstory/giving us an origin story. My Soul to Keep introduces us to Jessica (who I quite liked) and David (
