By Alyson Noel
Since a horrible accident claimed the lives of her family, sixteen-year-old Ever can see auras, hear people’s thoughts, and know a person’s life story by touch. Going out of her way to shield herself from human contact to suppress her abilities has branded her as a freak at her new high school—but everything changes when she meets Damen Auguste…
Ever sees Damen and feels an instant recognition. He is gorgeous, exotic and wealthy, and he holds many secrets. Damen is able to make things appear and disappear, he always seems to know what she’s thinking—and he’s the only one who can silence the noise and the random energy in her head. She doesn’t know who he really is—or what he is. Damen equal parts light and darkness, and he belongs to an enchanted new world where no one ever dies.
Sigh. First off, I didn’t finish this one. I’m still counting it though because I read almost 100 pages before I stopped. Basically I didn't like all the swearing and crap in it. Beware of the bomb being dropped every now and then. My review is thus: Rip-off of Twilight much? You’ve got a girl who is obsessed with a boy she’s only just seen. The only thing different about her is that she happens to be psychic and talks to her dead little sister almost every day. The guy is equally obsessed with her, and somehow manages to pull flowers out of thin air to give to her. He’s an immortal- not vampire, but I don’t see much difference except for the whole ‘I want to suck your blood’ thing. I guess people who like Twilight may like the Imortals series by Alyson, but for me it was too much of the obsessive-like love that I despise. If anyone wants to contradict me feel free, like I said, I didn’t finish it.
