Evermore
Evermore by Alyson Noel is probably one of the best novels I have ever read. Evermore is the first book in a series called Immortals which is a fiction series. The paperback copy I read had 320 pages. The theme of this book is hard to see at first. I think that after reading almost the whole series I’m able to realize that no one is perfect. Even immortals, who are beautiful, strong, and appear to be perfect. Everyone has their secrets and the lies they tell.
Ever is a girl who used to live in Oregon. That is until she and her whole family almost died in a car crash. Almost, Ever didn’t completely die though. She didn’t cross the bridge with the rest of her family. She was brought back to life by Damen. Damen has lived for hundreds of years, searching for Ever each time she is reincarnated has a different girl. How is he hundreds of years old you ask? Well, he’s immortal. He’s handsome, kind, magical, and seemingly perfect. He is Ever’s true soul mate. After Damen brought Ever back to life she has physic powers. She can see people’s auros, read their minds, read a book by touching it, know test answers by touching the questions, and know people’s whole life stories by touching them.
The writing of this book is magical. I feel as if I’m Ever. One of the quotes on the back of the book goes something like, “When I was reading this book I would read it for hours, and when I wasn’t reading it I was trying to figure out how I could sneak in some more time to read it.” I agree completely with this quote. I could spend hours reading this book and I always wanted more. The day I finished it I begged my dad to take me to the library so I could get the next one. This writing is touching, and even though there’s magic, it’s not your average fairy tale ending. Nope, Ever is just a regular teenager who can live for a really long time.
For teenage girls out there looking for a good series these books are for you. I think the series is a perfect length so that you feel like there’s enough but by the 5 book you’re like, “When’s it going to end? But more importantly, how is it going to end.” You don’t want it to end so you can move onto a better series you want it to end so you can find out what happened!
You, reading this post right now, should read these books! Why you ask? Well these characters reflect people who could really be out there. Haven, is still trying to figure out where she belongs in this world. Miles, is gay and proud of himself and doesn’t let anyone tell him otherwise. Ever. Ever is a girl trying to figure out why she is here in this world. She’s a beautiful girl hiding under hoodies and still trying to figure life out. Do you need to read books quickly? You won’t be able to get to the end quick enough! Everybody says that know one is perfect. These books prove that with characters that will have you laughing out loud and crying tears under your covers at midnight.
