Collette LeSange has been hiding a dark secret: She is immortal. In 1834, Collette’s grandfather granted her the gift of eternal life and since then, she has endured centuries of turmoil and heartache. Now, almost 150 years later, Collette is a lonely artist running an elite fine art school for children in upstate New York. But her life is suddenly upended by the arrival of a gifted child from a troubled home, the return of a stalking presence from her past, and her own mysteriously growing hunger for blood.

Kick off the convo with a theory, question, musing, or update
was so excited for this one but unfortunately did not work for me. There was so much filler and fluff I couldn’t get a grasp on the real story - and having finished, I can see there wasn’t much of a story here at all. 300 pages in I was still wondering what the central struggle would be, what the plot was all about… would have been much more enjoyable if about 150 pages were cut. There were many dangling plot lines that never got wrapped up - should have been cut entirely.
The blood artist in the Bronx? Why she was suddenly so hungry? This mysterious god of endings? Her grandfather and his vampire buddy? The nature of her vampire existence? I wanted more of that, or at least explanations. Instead we got lots of irrelevant descriptions and side tangents :/
