Alma Katsu's The Taker
So this book starts off really strongly--a murder suspect is brought to the ER doctor in a small town in Maine, and she has a crazy story for him about how she's immortal and killed her friend at his request, and then she goes on to tell him her story, starting in that same small town 200 years earlier. The modern day interludes are weak but the girl's story is compelling--at least until a third of the way in, when things take a turn for the oversexed (none of it is sexy, and much of it is nonconsensual). Things do pick back up for the last third but I still found the doctor really boring and the end was a little dumb. B.
