Minerva Rus can raise the dead. And it might get her killed.
Minerva’s life has never been the same since the childhood car accident that paralyzed her and killed her best friend, Raven. But when the long-dead Raven reappears in her life, now as a very attractive grown man, she discovers that her photographic memory has the power to bring the dead back to life … heal her paralysis … and shape reality itself.
Pursued by a rogue government agent who wants to eliminate her and her talents, Minerva must learn to control her powers to save herself and Raven. Because if she dies, he dies as well―again.
My Review:
Minerva Rus, her mother and her best friend Raven was in a
car accident when she was only six years old that left her in a wheelchair for
the rest of her life and left Raven dead. Now fifteen years later Raven is back
and very much real even if he is dead. Minerva has “The Gift” she can back the
dead back. She soon learns that she is not the only one who can raise the dead
and the government knows about it.
Everything is going great for Minerva and Raven until her
mom gets a new boyfriend and Minerva soon learns that her mom’s new boyfriend
is a government assassin, Bradley “Brad” Carson who has been assigned to
Minerva. There’s also another government agent that is after Minerva and Raven as
well but for totally different reasons than Agent Carson, reasons that could
cost Minerva and Raven their lives.
Minerva is a young woman who has been through so much
growing up with a mother that doesn’t care about her. The only reason she still
keeps her around is for the government check she receives each month. The only
reason she ever acts like she cares for Minerva is when she is afraid someone
is watching her and is going to take away the check that she gets for taking
care of Minerva. For everything Minerva has lived through her whole life she is
a very strong person with a very strong will and after all these years she has
finally learned how to stand on her own two feet and take up for herself and
she will never let anyone push her around ever again.
When I read the summary of Memortality I knew I had to read
it and I am so glad I did. I love the whole concept/idea behind Memortality
where if we think about someone we lost, always remember them and never forget them
then they will always be with us alive in our hearts. Memortality is one of
those books that will grab on to you right from the start and keep on hanging
on. I can’t wait to read more of Minerva and Raven’s adventures.
Yes, I do recommend Memortality to anyone who loves a great
story with lots of twist and turns and mystery.
