“A new kind of vampire story, and the result is a surprising and spellbinding tale.” —Laura Moriarty, New York Times bestselling author of The Chaperone

“Great for fans of Interview with a Vampire and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.” —Library Journal

Suspenseful and enchanting, this breathtaking debut spans history, weaving a story of love, family, history, and myth as seen through the eyes of one immortal woman.

Collette LeSange has been hiding a dark truth: She is immortal. In 1834, Collette’s grandfather granted her the gift of eternal life and since then, she has endured centuries of turmoil and heartache.

Now, almost 150 years later, Collette is a lonely artist running an elite fine art school for children in upstate New York. But her life is suddenly upended by the arrival of a gifted child from a troubled home, the return of a stalking presence from her past, and her own mysteriously growing hunger for blood.

Combining brilliant prose with breathtaking suspense, Jacqueline Holland's The God of Endings serves as a larger exploration of the human condition in all its complexity, asking us the most fundamental question: is life in this world a gift or a curse?

Review

A Most Anticipated Book of 2023 by LitHub, Polygon, Library Journal, and more!

"A reflective and poetic take on the nature of immortality... Holland's refreshing vampires lean philosophical as they struggle with immense grief and loneliness."
―Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Through decadently vivid prose... this hefty novel meditates on major themes such as life, love, and death with exceptional acumen. A new and contemplative take on the vampire novel."
―Kirkus Reviews

"Atmospheric prose and excellent character development. Great for fans of Anne Rice’s Interview with a Vampire and V. E. Schwab’s The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue."
―Library Journal

"A masterful debut novel... Holland proves herself to be the god of endings as she ties everything together and delivers a multi- layered emotional punch at the end of the novel that both questions and affirms the nature of life and human existence.... Let’s hope that [this] is just the beginning for Jacqueline Holland."
―Grimdark Magazine

"Sweeping and evocative, this novel is a beautiful journey through the centuries of a wholly unique life. It explores the savagery of loss and grief and the paradoxical fragility and endurance of love. It raises powerful and thought-provoking questions about motherhood, and how to live, and the ending will stay with me for a long time in the best possible way."
―Jennifer Saint, author of Elektra and Ariadne

"Holland's lush prose welcomes the reader into a new kind of vampire story, and the result is a surprising and spellbinding tale of struggle and love and protection that leaves you wondering who the real monsters are."
―Laura Moriarty, New York Times bestselling author of The Chaperone

"The God of Endings is propulsive, a compelling rumination on what makes a life worth living. Spanning centuries and continents, an immortal narrator grapples with her own humanity―or lack thereof―in this dazzling debut."
―Lily Brooks-Dalton, author of Good Morning, Midnight

A new twist on Vampire stories

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 10, 2023

Verified Purchase

I read all the Vampire books I can get. It's always a fun read when there's a fresh new spin on vampire lore. I enjoyed the book and look forward, hopefully, for may sequels to follow.

This book really understands me

"It seems, unfortunately, that nothing can protect you from your own mind, your knowledge, your memories."

I absolutely loved The God Of Endings by Jacqueline Holland. I've been having difficulty finding time to read the past few months, and when I did have time, I just wasn't connecting with anything I was trying to read. Something drew my attention to this book when it was recently published. I kept seeing it everywhere so finally caved and bought it. Something about this book makes it exactly what I needed at the time I needed to read it. The pacing was perfect, steady but not slow, with a focus more on character than plot, but still plot driven enough to keep my attention. I had a hard time putting it down and I really didn't want it to end.

I grew to really know and understand Anna/Anya/Collette. I loved her long history, the many different time periods she's lived through. If not for her being a vampire, I'd consider us kindred spirits. This is definitely not your traditional vampire story, in fact I genuinely don't like vampire stories at all, I haven't been able to bring myself to read any since the time of Twilight-mania. Parts of this book reminded me of The Witch's Heart by Genevieve Gornichec and Sorrowland by Rivers Solomon.

Beautifully written, unpredictable and is making me really like a genre I don’t usually read. I usually had to tear myself away from reading it as the whole thing was so compelling. Will look for more from this author.

readable but not believable

Interesting insights into eternal life, a good philosophic discussion followed, but not a believable story. I did not connect with the main character.

Couldn’t put it down!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 20, 2023

I am not a “vampire story” lover but I found this book intriguing all the way. The challenges and sadness of an endless life were presented in such a manner that I found myself feeling sorry for the main character, who was turned without her permission into a vampire. I was rooting for her even though she had to do some awful things. The vampire, in a way, acts as a metaphor for the struggle between good and evil. I especially loved the historical sections in the story and the tension in Collete’s current situation. Overall, I’d say The God of Endings is on my list of favorite books. I recommend this book to people who love good character development and historical fiction, not to mention a fascinating storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Jacqueline Holland is an amazing new writer and I look forward to whatever she has coming in the future for us to read.

Thoroughly enjoyed

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 6, 2023

I read a LOT and have grown tired of the same old premise. This novel intruiged me with the “vampire” premise. The narrator is just a notmal person who gives us stories back throughout her life each a mini capsule of her survival and intimacies with other people. Meanwhile her current day life as a teacher and her engagement with a young boy. The author is just such a beautiful writer and I loved the character(s) Anna/Collette and Leo so very much i hated for it to end. This was a story i looked forward to reading like nothing else for quite some time.

The vision in this book is 20/20 on the topic of humanity. The monster at the center of this story is ironically more human than most people. I devoured this book and hope you don’t miss the wonderful experience of getting to know these characters.

I enjoyed the heck out of this book. It had a nice, steady pace, but kept my attention throughout. I will be recommending this book to my friends. A lot of details to savor and the emotional journey the main character goes through were never over done or over whelming. I thought this book was fantastic and highly recommend giving it a chance.
