  • My Immortal by Erin McCarty

    As a devoted fan of Erin McCarthy, it was no question I would read My Immortal even though I’m not too happy with that whole vampire thing she’s trying to pull.

Through her mother’s side of the family (the Claverleys), Eve inherited mystical gifts. Eve can read her mother’s…
