Ever is a depressed sixteen-year old who
lives with her aunt. Besides the fact that her parents, sister, and dog
died in a car accident; that she can see people's auras; and that she
can hear everyone's thoughts, she's a pretty normal teenager. Oh, and
she can talk to her dead little sister, too.
Ever now lives with
the guilt that she caused her family's deaths, and tries her best to
block out the world with her hooded sweatshirts and blaring iPod. Then,
Damen, a new student shows up at school. Who just happens to be
mysterious, charming, and extraordinarily handsome. All of the girls
drool over him. Except for Ever. She keeps her distance and refuses to
associate with him, even after her two best friends Miles and Haven
urge her to go talk to him. Until one day, when Ever finally takes a
good look at him the first thing she notices...she can't read his
thoughts or see his aura!
Wherever
Ever goes, Damen seems to be there too, with a tulip in hand. And even
as she does her best to stay away, she finds herself drawn to him and
falling for him. However the more she learns about his past and
secrets, she's not so sure he is who she thinks he is...
This
novel was really unpredictable, which I love to find in a book. I'd
make a prediction with what would happen next, and end up being wrong.
I've also never read a story about a psychic teenager who can talk to
her dead sister, which was also pretty interesting :) I thought that
the storyline was very creative and well-thought out. I liked the
diversity of personalities for all of the characters, too - especially
Miles, her gay best friend, and Haven, her gothic other best friend.
However,
I think that the first half of the book was much better than the second
half. Throughout the story, the author plants many questions in the
reader's head about who Damen really is. Even after finishing the book,
I still had a lot of questions that were unanswered. Hopefully I'll
understand better in the sequel. Also, it seemed like too much
information was suddenly shoved down my throat during the last few
chapters. It was a lot to process and try to understand in a short
amount of writing.
There were great things and not-so-great
things about this book, but overall I enjoyed it. The twist at the end
was great, and I think this is a must-read for lovers of paranormal
romance meets fantasy.
