How to Stop Time meets Thieves'
Gambit in this thrilling, romantic and witty supernatural YA
novel.
"All of Sue's trademark heart, wit and poignancy ... an
original take on the implications of immortality." Ravena Guron,
author of This Book Kills
Gracie was born into a secret community hidden within ordinary
society: the Perpetuals. Her family are abnormally long-lived, resilient
and fast-healing. But, it turns out, Gracie is mortal...
which means she's vulnerable.
When the truth emerges, her immortal boyfriend Arty dumps her.
Even worse, while her invincible peers embrace pulse-pounding extreme
sports, Gracie's parents prepare to wrap her in cotton wool.
Permitted 'one last adventure', Gracie heads on an international
trip with her friends - though her hard-to-read ex, Arty, ends
up joining them. And, as they reach New York, things take a dark
turn...
Arty is hiding a dangerous secret that threatens to expose the
whole Perpetual community. Could Gracie, a mortal girl, be the key
to saving them all?
An original, romantic and high-stakes speculative novel from
the author of Totally Deceased and Cloud Nine,
perfect for fans of Jennifer Lynn Barnes.
A secretive family of immortals hidden within the real world,
like the Cullens in Twilight - plus a second-chance romance,
the thrills of a life-threatening blackmail and heist plot, and
international adventure across London, Paris, Norway and New York.
Themes of time, mortality and love handled with Sue H. Cunningham's
unique blend of action, humour and poignancy.
'Delicious paranormal romance... Exciting and poignant in turns.'
Tia Fisher, author of Crossing the Line
'A thrilling, high-stakes YA heist novel... a propulsive plot
with emotional depth and reflections on mortality.' Louise Finch,
author of The Eternal Return of Clara Hart
'A fresh, fun and truly unique read.' Tess James-Mackey, author

'A heartfelt, laugh-out-loud story about the leaps you will make
for those you love.' K. L. Kaine, author of Blood of Gods and
Girls
'Packed with peril, humour and timely reminders of how to live
life to the full ... readers are going to fall hard for this one!'
Jan Dunning, author of The Last Thing You'll Hear
