"One of Villyard's strengths as a storyteller is her skill in using vampire mythology to explore themes of otherness and persecution. Thomas, for instance, embodies centuries of antisemitic violence, declaring that "Eternal life is a blessing and a reward-a reward for Christian faith. A gift that Ludwig accidentally cheapened and debased by giving it to the unworthy." The theme of exclusion runs throughout the novel, particularly in how Abraham's vampirism affects his ability to practice his faith-as shown when he explains that "I couldn't walk to synagogue in the daylight...I couldn't participate in religious services any more." This physical limitation becomes symbolic of his feelings of exclusion and otherness, reinforcing Villyard's use of supernatural elements to explore very real historical patterns of religious persecution."

-Edward Sung for IndieReader

"In effect, Immortal Gifts defies the usual formulaic writing of the genre to return to the meat of a superior vampire novel: good tension, wry humor, psychologically deep characters, and the allure, promises, and pitfalls of immortality."

-D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
