Publisher's Summary

Don't miss Evermore, the first book in Alyson Noël's number one New York Times best-selling The Immortals series. Enter an enchanting new world where true love never dies....

After a horrible accident claimed the lives of her family, 16-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.

Not Bad

This novel was mildly interesting. A little too much like Twilight, but I found the main character's backstory adequate. The narrator was very good. Not a great cross over for adults, but not a bad listen. The rest of the series is pure repetition.

Good, odd ending....

This was a good book until about the last 4 or 5 chapters. It was interesting, and had a mild romance, and about the time I thought things would get REALLY interesting, it just took a downturn. I am still a little interested in 'what comes next' for Ever & her adventures to come.....just not sure I liked the 1st book to go for the 2nd. The ending was a little weird, and while I like the unexpected - it fell a little short of my expectations.

GOOD

THIS IS AN OK BOOK. IM NOW TOO SURE HOW THE SERIES WILLTURN OUT, OR IF I'LL MAKE IT THROUGH THE WHOLE SERIES, BUT I THINK IT WAS DEFFINITLY WORTH THE CREDIT.I WILL DEFINITLY GIVE THE SECOND BOOK A CHANCE.
THIS BOOK IS EASY TO LISTEN TO AND THE STORY IS DECENT. IM NOT TOO SURE ABOUT THE NARRATOR.

Evermore Drama in the Immortals Series

Another good book in the Immortals series. It is complicated and layered, everything a Young Adult series should have without getting overly angsty. And I adore the narrator - she has a great voice for characters of this age.

Addictive

Where does Evermore rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Good story line, good reader.

What did you like best about this story?

Character development was very well done.

What about Katie Schorr’s performance did you like?

Her voice was young but not annoying.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

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. :(

Ever is annoying..

I love the idea behind the novel. But the way Ever wished for help and normalcy then turned away everyone who wanted to help her truly annoyed me.

Pretty good

I like it, but it kind of follows the same plot of different films and books. Also I didn't really like the narrator. Kind of robot like. I'd recommend just reading the book.

Boring

Honestly I had high hopes for this book but it literally sounded like the author took bits of information from other stories and smashed it together. From Fallen where she keeps coming back and they are destined for each other, twilight when he is super fast and catches what she dropped, and a few others. Pretty disappointed. Narrator was super monotone and didn’t even try to have a guy voice which threw me off not knowing who exactly was talking at times. If you have read quite a few good fantasy books, don’t waste your time and credits on this one.
