The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

"“For someone damned to be forgettable, Addie LaRue is a most delightfully unforgettable character, and her story is the most joyous evocation of unlikely immortality.” ― Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods and winner of multiple Nebula, Hugo, and Locus Awards"

"“Victoria Schwab sends you whirling through a dizzying kaleidoscopic adventure through centuries filled with love, loss, art and war―all the while dazzling your senses with hundreds of tiny magical moments along the way. The Invisible Life of Addie Larue will enchant readers as deeply as its heroine’s Faustian bargain; you will find yourself in quick turns both aching with heartbreak, and gleefully crowing at the truly delicious, wicked cleverness in store.” ― Naomi Novik, Nebula and Locus Award-winning author of Spinning Silver"

"The story is sweeping in its scope yet wonderfully intimate, it's dark and sexy yet romantic and heartbreaking. It's lyrical and clearly heartfelt and I think Schwab's best to date.”— Rebecca Roanhorse, author of Trail of Lightning and Hugo, Nebula and Locus Award winner.

“Addie LaRue is a book perfectly suspended between darkness and light, myth and reality. [This novel] is―ironically―unforgettable.”― Hugo Award winner Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January

“The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is the kind of book you encounter only once in a lifetime. . . . A defiant, joyous rebellion against time, fate, and even death itself―and a powerful reminder that the only magic great enough to conquer all of it is love.”― Peng Shepherd, author of The Book of M

This ambitious and hopeful work is a knockout.”—STARRED Publishers Weekly
