Eternally Mortal

By Tom Cobey

Eternally Mortal is a love story about second chances. Darcy convinces her childhood friend, Joanne, to move in with her, all in an effort to escape Joanne's abusive husband, Michael. The plan goes awry when Michael learns of the plan. He kills Darcy and seriously wounds Joanne. Tabatha, Darcy's wife, sets her mind to changing her life and positioning herself next to Joanne in the event Michael tries to return and finish the job he started. And then there's William. A man who's lived hundreds of years. Happenstance delivers William to the same nursing home where the above characters all meet. "A compelling, high-stakes story of mental illness and domestic violence." --- Kirkus Reviews " A spectacular fantasy read with the right amount of intrigue and action."--- Reedsy Reviews ..." Author T. Cobey's writing style is a standout feature of the book, so much so that the language of the narration becomes integral to the journey of the story. I found this combination of literary and fantasy styling really interesting, and it lent itself well to the deep emotional and psychological exploration of the characters as they found themselves under immense pressure. The concept of mortality and the price humanity pays, as a result, is not easy to convey in a pacy, adventurous fashion, but Cobey delivers an exciting plot filled with interesting twists that also really make you think about what it means to be human. The portrayal of Michael was especially chilling for me, as the novel drove home his predatory development with some highly visual acts and raw speech and thought presentation. Overall, reading Eternally Mortal was a pleasurable experience, thanks to Cobey's narrative skills and his ability to create a compelling story that blends elements of fantasy and love. It's a book that keeps readers engaged and leaves them pondering the possibilities of second chances in a world both mystical and frighteningly relatable."--- Reader's Favorite Reviews
