Blue Moon by Alyson Noel


Genre: Young Adult
Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy; Immortals, People with Abilities
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Just as Ever is learning everything she can about her new abilities as an immortal, initiated into the dark, seductive world by her beloved Damen, something terrible is happening to him. As Ever’s powers increase, Damen’s begin to fade after he is stricken by a mysterious illness that threatens his memory, his identity, his life. Desperate to save him, Ever travels to the mystical dimension of Summerland, where she uncovers not only the secrets of Damen’s past – the brutal, tortured history he hoped to keep hidden – but also an ancient text revealing the workings of time. With the approaching blue moon heralding her only window for travel, Ever is forced to decide between turning back the clock and saving her family from the accident that claimed them – or staying in the present and saving Damen, who grows weaker by the day…

This is the second book in the Immortals series. I loved this story. Ever is trying to learn about well, everything she can do. As well as work on her relationship with Damen. But as the new boy enters its almost as if Damen checks out of his body. Things keep going wrong and it just gets all twisted as you can’t figure out who to trust. But its so compelling you can’t put the story down. I loved how Ever was wary of Roman from the beginning. I just wish she had trusted her instincts. The twins where a little creepy, but in a good way and made Summerland more rounded. I loved how imaginative this was. Alyson’s writing is beautiful and I can’t seem to read enough and can't wait to read the next in this series, Shadowland.

Evermore by Alyson Noel



Genre: Young Adult
Sub Genre: Paranormal Romance; Immortals, People with Abilities
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: 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 and suppressing 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.

This was a great first story, having a take on Immortals that I’ve only seen once or twice. Ever is a very dynamic character, whom has had her tragedy and is trying to deal with survivors remorse. Being one of the outsiders but having some true friends. When Damen shows up you begin to see changes in her as she comes back to life. I really enjoyed this story. There are dangers that the characters have to deal with but they also have the emotional conflict. That keeps you rooted to the page. A story that I could read over and over again. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series, Blue Moon.
