The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

Addie LaRue trades her soul to the devil for endless life. She thinks she has outwitted him, but the deal brings a curse. No one she meets can remember her.

She leaves her small town in eighteenth-century France and travels the world. Her belongings break or vanish, and love must begin afresh each day. Yet she leaves traces through the artists she inspires over time. The green-eyed devil remains her sole companion across the years. He returns each year on the date of their pact. Addie seeks to understand him and find a way to win.

Then she enters a used bookshop in Manhattan. There, she meets someone who does not forget her. The chance of an ordinary life returns, but her pact still binds her.

V.E. Schwab’s fantasy novel blends love, loneliness, and the cost of endless life. It suits readers drawn to tales of dark bargains and lives that span centuries.
