A beautifully and mesmerizing gothic story of the immortal lives of one woman. Collette now is an artist and head of a small art school for children in New York. She has become overly fond of one of her small charges, a sickly and very talented boy caught up in a complicated home life. This is not a good situation for Collette. The chapters travel back and forth between present day and her many other lives which always end in discovery, violence and flight. Her existence depends on a regular blood supply which unlike other vampire stories she does not lurk in the shadows ripping out the throats of innocents and instead hunts small animals and feeds on livestock and the occasional men not worth saving. Her big heart and maternal instincts draw her to care for the children she tries to help all the while knowing she is placing them in danger and that the God of Endings will end her someday. This plan worked until Leo wormed his way into her heart and added to her hunger not just for blood but to truly live fully for once. This is for readers of softer vampire stories of Ann Rice or THE HISTORIAN by Elizabeth Kostova.
