Young Adult Science Fiction

Avery Williams has written a book any teen girl or young woman will love. Seraphina is the girlfriend of an alchemist who saved her life by giving her immortality at age fourteen. However, immortality is obtained at a high price. In order to maintain their immortality, they must steal the bodies of others. Now, six hundred years later, Seraphina hopes to die rather than continue her immortal existence at the expense of others. Cyrus, her alchemist boyfriend, is not willing to let her go. Over the last several hundred years he has become more and more possessive of Seraphina. After successfully escaping Cyrus, Seraphina's planned death goes very, very wrong. Will she be able to correct the mistakes she has made? Will she finally achieve her goal of a final, peaceful death? I enjoyed the twists and surprises and look forward to Avery Williams' next novel. The characters seem so alive and are easy to connect with. The creativity of this book makes THE ALCHEMY OF FOREVER impossible to stop reading.

SUMMARY

Seraphina’s first love made her immortal…her second might get her killed.Incarnation is a new series that introduces a fresh mythology perfect for fans of bestselling series like The Immortals by Alyson Noel and Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl.nnAfter spending six hundred years on earth, Seraphina Ames has seen it all. Eternal life provides her with the world’s riches, but at a very high price: innocent lives. Centuries ago, her boyfriend, Cyrus, discovered a method of alchemy that allows them to swap bodies with other humans, jumping from one vessel to the next, taking the human’s life in the process. No longer able to bear the guilt of what she’s done, Sera escapes from Cyrus and vows to never kill again.nnThen sixteen-year-old Kailey Morgan gets into a horrific car accident right in front of her, and Sera accidentally takes over her body. For the first time, Sera finds herself enjoying the life of the person she’s inhabiting—and falls for the human boy who lives next door. But Cyrus will stop at nothing until she’s his again, and every moment she stays, she’s putting herself and the people she’s grown to care for in great danger. Will Sera have to give up the one thing that’s eluded her for centuries: true love?
