Evermore

The Immortals

Don't miss Evermore, the first book in Alyson Noël's #1 New York Times bestselling The Immortals series. Enter an enchanting new world where true love never dies. . .

After a horrible accident claimed the lives of her family, sixteen-year-old Ever Bloom can see people's auras, hear their thoughts, and know someone's entire life story by touching them. Going out of her way to avoid human contact and suppress her abilities, she has been branded a freak at her new high school—but everything changes when she meets Damen Auguste.

Damen is gorgeous, exotic and wealthy. He's the only one who can silence the noise and random energy in her head—wielding a magic so intense, it's as though he can peer straight into her soul. As Ever is drawn deeper into his enticing world of secrets and mystery, she's left with more questions than answers. And she has no idea just who he really is—or what he is. The only thing she knows to be true is that she's falling deeply and helplessly in love with him.

One of my favorite series

Love the book and the story line. Had me hooked on the story the entire time.

heavy-handed authorial worldview

I love the fluid writing and the terrific, believable character voice. I have a solid, clear sense of the main character, Ever, and am rooting for her. The premise is creative and interesting. But the last quarter or so of the book feels more like an explanation of the author's worldview than a satisfying conclusion to the story I became involved in. I found myself turned off by the revelation about (and by) Damon; felt pulled out of the fun of the story and thrust into the author's religious/spiritual/new age perspectives. Too heavy handed...to the point where I didn't even care about the story anymore and didn't end up finishing. :(

It was just OK.

Would you try another book from Alyson Noel and/or Katie Schorr?

Maybe. I didn't feel the need to hurry and download the second book, so that means something. I really liked Katie Schorr, though.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

See that's the thing. It's not that I had issues with it, but I just didn't love it. It was just ok.

Have you listened to any of Katie Schorr’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, strong performance as well. Realistic voices without terrible accents. Good inflections and intentions.

Any additional comments?

I did really enjoy the relationship between Ever and her sister Riley.

Amazing!

This book is amazing a wonderful read I was entertained the entire time on the edge of my seat and yelling at the book I couldn't get enough when I finished it I had to read the entire series this is an all time favorite
