Yesterday I just finished reading "Evermore" by Alyson Noel. This is the first book in the immortal series. There are six books but I only have the first three. So I gave this book 4 stars on goodreads. I thought this book was great, but not amazing. I love the author. I read "Cruel Summer" by Alyson Noel and loved it. Don't get me wrong, this book was good, but I've read better paranormal books.
Here is the plot:
After a horrible accident claims 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 to suppress her abilities, she has been branded a freak at her new high school-but everything changes when she meets Damen Auguste.
This book is about a girl named Ever Bloom. Her family were in a car driving to buy a sweatshirt Ever really wanted. On the road there was a deer that hit the car and Ever's dad turned the wheel and car away from the deer taking his family's life with him, except for Ever. Ever is the only family member who survived the car accident. After the accident she gained a power, she can read people's minds by touching them. She can also see the ghost of her twelve-year-old sister Riley. Now she is not a normal girl. Ever since the accident, her life changed. Before the accident, Ever was a happy popular cheerleader. Now she is an orphan and lives with her Aunt in her mansion. Her Aunt gave her everything she could ever want, but Ever wishes she died in the accident. Ever thinks it was her fault her family died. Later she finds out the truth. Now she lives with her Aunt and goes to a new school. She changes her personality and wears hoodies and baggy clothes and listens to her ipod in class all day at school. She misses her family more than ever. Her life changes once a boy named Damen comes into her life. He is a tall, mysterious guy that everyone thinks is attractive. Ever's two friends, her goth friend Haven and her gay friend Miles both love Damen. Ever tries not to look at him because she's afraid she could read his mind. It turns out Damen is the only person that Ever can't read. Later in the book, there is an evil villain but I don't want to spoil anything.
The characters- I thought the characters were okay. They were likable. The main character Ever was a nice, strong character. She had some problems near the end, but she got through it. Damen was a pretty good guy, but he made some mistakes with Ever. Haven wasn't my favorite character. At times I thought she was kind of mean. I liked Miles. He was a cool guy and a good friend to Ever. This is the first book I've read where a guy and a girl are friends and they don't have feelings for each other. Finally! It's realistic. I have a guy friend and we never had feelings for each other. I really liked Riley, I felt so bad that she died, and she was awesome. I loved the relationship between Riley and Ever. They could be mean to each other, but you could tell they loved each other. I actually liked Ever and Damen's relationship. I thought their relationship wasn't rushed at all. I liked how the author waited until the end of the book, for Damen and Ever to declare their love for each other.
This book was very good and I can't think of anything bad about it. It wasn't my favorite book, but I enjoyed it. I read reviews for this book and people compared this book to Twilight. Honestly, this book is not like Twilight. They are both good books. I give this book 4 stars and recommend the series. I will be reading the next book, "Blue Moon" soon. That's it for right now and stayed tuned for more, bye!
