Alyson Noel

Seventeen-year-old Ever is the sole survivor of a car crash that killed her entire family. Living with her aunt in Southern California, she's plagued by the ability to hear the thoughts of those around her, and haunted by the ghost of her little sister. She tries to tune everyone out, shunning her old lifestyle as the pretty, popular cheerleader, but somehow she can't hide from Damen, the new guy at school. Stunningly handsome, clever and not a little bit intimidating, there's something about him that doesn't quite add up. Ever realises he's hiding something, but nothing could prepare her for the truth - especially when the truth involves past lives, murderous enemies, everlasting love and the secret of eternal youth . . .

Evermore

Alyson Noël

Since the car accident that claimed the lives of her family, sixteen-year-old Ever can see auras and hear people's thoughts, and she goes out of her way to hide from other people until she meets Damen, another psychic teenager who is hiding even more mysteries.

I have already read this in 2009, I just simply forgot to add it here on goodreads. But even with my seriously bad taste in everything back then, I did not like this at all. Awful book.

It's two hours past my bed time. Sat down and started reading this and couldn't stop. More thought provoking review tomorrow =)

Okay so, there are a lot of negative reviews for this book that show up first in the review section so, I feel the need to say my reviews are based more off of how much I enjoy the story vs. the actual quality of the writing. I feel like it doesn't matter how well the story is written if you hate it.

Seriously, I sat down to read this for about an hour while I was babysitting my niece and instead read the entire thing in one sitting, staying up waaaaay later than I usually do. It was a definite "one more chapter" type of story. I wanted to know what was going on and how everything worked out. I needed answers.

I dislike the names . . . Ever, Honor, etc. They made me crazy. I mean I understand strange names are more common now (and I'm much more willing to accept them in a full on fantasy story), but still. Kill me now.

I do like the story and I'm interested to see what else is going to happen in the following books. I'm sure there's going to be more of the immortals to come and I'm interested to see how they tie in. I'm also excited to see if Ever continues to use her 'gift' or not.

Ugh was this bad. I don't know where I can possibly start with explaining all my issues with Evermore. It was so Twilightesque, just worse. Cliché in every way possible. Flat characters I didn't care for whatsoever, a predictable plot, an awful writing style ( it was as if the author was trying way too hard to be cool), holes in the world building, a very cheesy romance, totally random decisions the characters made plus everyone being so amazingly shallow it blew my mind. I'm done with this series (it's six books long, what the fuck?) and the author in general.
Hadn't this been for the pop sugar reading challenge this book would have been a DNF.

Haven und Ever waren einmal die besten Freundinnen - bis Roman in ihr Leben trat und Haven sich in ihn verliebte. Aber Ever hegt ein tiefes Misstrauen gegen ihn. Schliesslich ist er daran schuld, dass der Fluch auf Damen lastet und dass sie ihren Geliebten nicht berühren darf, ohne ihn damit ins Schattenland zu verbannen. Unablässig warnt Ever ihre Freundin vor Roman, doch Haven will davon nichts hören. Sie glaubt, dass Ever nur eifersüchtig ist. Also konzentriert sich Ever darauf, das Gegenmittel zu finden, das den Fluch von Damen endgültig vertreibt. Mit ihrem Ausflug in die schwarze Magie macht sie allerdings alles noch viel schlimmer...(Quelle: Klappentext).

Could not continued the series after this book.

Don't miss Evermore, the first book in Alyson Noël's #1 New York Times bestselling The Immortals series. Enter an enchanting new world where true love never dies. . . After a horrible accident claimed 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 suppress 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.

Classic teen fiction with a surprising twist. A nice and easy read.

I just finished this book and I'm sitting here wondering how I've never ventured into Alyson Noel's fantasy novels. I've read all of her other books except this series which started back in 2009 and I feel like I really missed out.

I know lots of people disliked this book but I really did like it. Maybe it's because I've been a die hard fan of the author forever but I read this in about 12 hours and honestly couldn't put it down. 

This book is about Ever who after losing her parents and little sister in a tragic car accident wakes up in the hospital and realizes she can now see everyones auras surrounding them and can also somehow still communicate with her little sister Riley, even though she's dead. She gets moved from Oregon to California to live with her aunt and starts a new school where instead of being in the popular crowd like in her last school, she befriends two of the "outsiders", a gay guy named Miles and a self-proclaimed goth named Hazel. Having perfected her ways of tuning people's thoughts out, Ever's only hopes are to get through school and hope that no one finds out about her psychic abilities. Then the new gorgeous guy Damen starts school and she realizes there's something different about him, he has no aura and seems to have certain abilities like she does. 

I loved all of the characters of this book and how detailed the author was when she was explaining certain scenes and things happening in the book, you almost felt like you were there seeing it with your own eyes and not just reading it. Ever's character was obviously my favorite as I loved her personality and how she dealt with her psychic abilities. Her and Damen's relationship was another thing I loved and the ending made me so excited to dive into the rest of the series.

This book found is really interesting, it hooked me in right away!

Laura Allen

2.5 stars. Very similar to Twilight. Read it in 24 hours, so very easy read. Lots of things bothered me about the plot and main character.

“forgiveness is healing.” he smiles. “especially forgiving yourself.” 

the ending was definitely unexpected, that’s for sure. also, can we just talk about how annoying damen was at times?! for fucks sake man, get off of stacia already.

I could have been so happy with this book...

I mean the synopsis makes it sounds so good. Alyson Noel should just come up with book ideas and leave other authors to execute them. Honestly. I don't know where she was trying to go with any of the characters. Damen had no personality other than his described "gorgeous, sexy, smoking" looks with which we get no articulation on either. Most of the characters were unbearably annoying (ex Haven) and had no motives to back up their actions. Drina made no sense either. I just didn't really care about any of the characters, even Ever, who only ever COMPLAINS about her ability to READ MINDS. wtf... no one wants to read about a protagonist that wastes an entire SUPERPOWER. It's one of those books that makes you think it's your fault you don't like it at first, until you eventually realize it's just bad. 

Like I said, the premise could've been great, but the writing style and characters quickly send the book to hell. If you picked up this book because it sounded good, I don't blame out, but I would definitely suggest putting it back down.
