Neverlast - Sue H. Cunningham

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.
