If it is possible to imagine Jeffrey Archer and Jilly Cooper pooling their talents, Night Shall Overtake Us is exactly the sort of book they would produce

Sex, suspense and rip-roaring romance

Saunders writes with real pathos... a rattling good yarn

A rich, rollicking novel you don't put down easily

Saunders joins the blockbuster hall of fame with this big splach of a romantic novel

This is a great book. And by great, I mean, devastatingly so, like reading The Scarlett Letter, while riding a roller coaster, on acid. Seductive, daring, soaring, and ultimately gut-wrenching, The Taker is a lush, historical rendering of transcendent love, paranormal beings, and the depths of pain that can be felt by immortal hearts

Alma Katsu takes the reader by surprise in the first chapter of her mesmerizing debut and never stops delivering. What a wonderful book! A dark, gothic, epic worth savoring. A sweeping story that transcends time as it moves effortless from the tempestuous past to the frightening present. Enchanting and enthralling! No question - I was taken!

Alma Katsu's searing tale of otherworldly lovers and eternal obsession will seduce you from page one. With its elegant prose and riveting plot, The Taker is as irresistible as the hauntingly beautiful, pleasure-seeking immortals who scorch its pages. A wicked, sensuous, shattering love story that I can't recommend enough. You have to experience it for yourself!

Katsu's mesmerizing, original debut arcs between a Puritan community and a present-day young woman found in the Maine woods who claims that she has killed a man and that she's immortal.

I couldn’t put it down… a fantastic debut novel for Alma Katsu and I am looking forward to her sequel The Reckoning

Fun and feisty women's fiction at its very best

Edgy and entertaining

A hilarious page-turner
