Simple quick read...witty and funny...characters I can relate to...takes place in Chicago and is fun to read about the neighborhood I live in...sometimes the main character is kinda annoying. Stella sometimes adds fantastic events in her books which can either be funny or just completely unbelievable

I so wanted to love this book, I really did. But...main character will step up and help save secondary character's country and people, but only if secondary character will have sex with main character? And this is okay because secondary character falls in love with main character? No, sorry, this is actually not okay and is, in fact, rape. Even beyond the rape-as-love-story bit, the book was just blah. I didn't care about what happened to the characters or the country, there was no real worldbuilding to speak of--the only thing I was a bit interested in was why the gloves were such an issue and even that was boring and predictable when it was finally explained.

My rating for this book would be 2 stars but since it has a pretty cover, I could have given it 2.5 or 3. 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 equals part light and part darkness, and he belongs to an enchanted new world where no one ever dies. Evermore wasn’t as good as I expected it to be. It started of well but then the story went nowhere. I know that it is a best selling series and has a huge fan following but the book just didn’t work out for me. It didn’t have that dark alluring feel that most paranormal romance novels do. I wasn’t sucked into it and just didn’t relate to the characters. Ever was nice and likable. But Damen? I just couldn’t stand him. He was too irritating to me. He was too perfect, which was fine since he was an immortal, but he was too proud about it. It seemed as if he was constantly boasting about his skills and showing them off. Even though some may find it romantic, I found the whole tulip thing too childish and stupid. If I would have read this book like 2 years ago, I would have said it was good. But since I’ve already read so many amazing books, this one seemed out of place. It seemed like the author was trying very hard to make the book dark and romantic for teen readers. She was also trying really hard to make the characters appear very real like Ever's bfs - Goth girl Haven and Gay boy Miles. At times the book was silly. Actually it was very silly. Like the whole Summerland thing. What was it?? A place where anything you imagined came alive, like elephants and swimming pools etc. Miss Alyson Noel, who are you kidding? You say this book is for YA and teens but all we get to read is about elephants and tulips and what not!!! The story was quite predictable and the characters were too made up. They didn’t seem real at all. Honestly, I hardly understood what really Damen is and why is Ever reincarnating again and again. And was with that Drina girl?? She was one irritating creature. She appeared out of nowhere and made one shitty book even worse. Each and every thing she said made me wanna hit her real hard. Her presence was too much to stand. And one major turn off was that the book was in present tense!!! Not that there’s something wrong with present tense cuz I got used to it after sometime but it just made the book even more confusing. The book also had way too many similarities to Lauren Kate’s Fallen – troubled girls with psychic powers/problems, immortal boyfriends, reincarnations and too many enemies who are on the run to kill you. But I liked fallen better. At least it had a dark edge to it. The only character I liked was Riley. She was funny, lively and very real even as a ghost. I’ll miss her. I hated it when she left. I wouldn’t recommend it to people who have read Twilight/Fallen/Vampire Academy cuz this book will turn out to be a huge disappointment to you. But if you’re a preteen or 13-14 years old, you should go for it. You may like it. If I ever gather the courage to read the next one in the series- Blue Moon, I hope it to be a good one ! *****************
