This is another young adult supernatural novel. Prior to reading this, I had just read Hush, Hush and really liked it, so I was hoping that Evermore would be as enjoyable.
The protagonist is a teenage girl named Ever. She recently lost her parents, sister, and family dog (Buttercup, how cute is that) in a car accident. Ever alone survived. However, after the accident, she can now see people’s auras and hear their thoughts. Her internal world is a mess of noise and chaos.
Then Ever meets Damen, whose thoughts she can’t read. In addition, whenever she talks with him or is touched by him, other people’s voices and auras disappear. With Damen, she’s somewhat normal again. Predictably, Ever falls in love with Damen, but that’s hardly the main plot.
The story takes a few turns that I didn’t expect, and these parts weren’t too cheesy. They were just fantastic enough to keep me reading, though the book wasn’t the all-night page turner I had expected. Regardless, I enjoyed the ending and the book overall. There’s a sequel, and I’m interested to find out what happens next. As always, it’s interesting to see if the sequel can live up to the first book.
I have the series of books on my Nook to read (I’m loving the Nook btw, I’ll try and get a post up on Monday about it for you to read
)
Cool, thanks!
