Cherie Priest’s Dreadful Skin

Lyda Morehouse’s AngeLINK series

Immortal Gifts invites readers to re-evaluate the meanings of things such as life, death, freedom, hate and love from the first page. Katherine Villyard manages to capture some of the most poignant questions we ask ourselves as we go through our individual lives.
