Review Detail

I have been holding out on this series for a while, and now I am banging my head against my palm and wondering WHY!?! It was such a great beginning to this series. I was swept away in this world full of circumstance, tragedy, and romance. Alyson Noel definitely has my attention! I could not have been more pleased with this book.

Ever is the MC. She has suffered a tremendous loss. After losing her family in a crash, she is left with psychic abilities. This is no palm reading, flip of the card gift. Ever can see memories, hear thoughts, and see people’s auras. This would seem like the best gift ever RIGHT… I have found myself on numerous occasions wishing I could read the thoughts of people around me or at least know how they actually felt. Yet, Ever puts it all in perspective for me, and from what I have glimpsed, it sounds horrible! Ever was definitely a favorite for me. She was a character I could imagine myself befriending. Although she had her flaws, she was a realistic and relatable character.

The world turned upside down when I met Damen. Damen is one of those dark and mysterious characters you want to figure out, yet at the same time, keep shrouded in mystery. I must admit, I was extremely frustrated when he kept disappearing. My curiosity was killing me! The best part! He was definitely not your stereotypical vampire! This was quite a relief to me, believe it or not. But her, any guy who can magically make tulips appear is on my ‘I don’t care who or what you are I’m in lust for you’ list.

The circumstantial star-crossed lovers sold it for me. I do not know why, but I am a huge sucker for star-crossed lovers! The fact that they were kept apart because of foul play drove me insane! On another note, the fact that Damen just went with all Ever’s supposed deaths also drove me up a wall. The romance was just so… wonderful! Damen is definitely a charmer. I also really liked the fact that Ever wasn’t just a fall head over heels, I’ll do anything you ask kind of girl. She held out there for a while. I have to applaud her for that. I know how hard it is to tell the person you love no.

I really enjoyed this book. Between the tragic losses, the romance, the slight drama, and the outcome; I could not put this book down! I am really eager to see what happens in the next installment. I am hoping that Haven and Miles are still their ever pesky selves (:! Thanks for reading my review!
