Ever can’t stand herself anymore. She can’t stand to be around people. She can’t stand going anywhere without her hoodie, sunglasses, and ipod. She can’t stand her life anymore and it’s all because of the accident where she lost her whole family, the accident which was all her fault.

Now Ever has the strange psychic powers that allow her to see auras, read minds, and know people’s life stories just by touching them. Most teens would love powers like that. Not Ever. Ever can’t stand them and she only wants them to go away. And finally they do.

When Ever meets Damen he quiets everything around her. She can’t see his aura, read his thoughts, or know his life story. She can finally be herself. Things seem to be great with Damen until he starts acting very weird and strange people start showing up and going missing.

Could Damen be causing the mysterious disappearances going on around town? Is he good or bad? Will he protect Ever or only bring her more pain?

I have one word to say about this book: wow. I loved it. I would give it a five star rating but I just think the characters weren’t developed enough. I was left guessing a lot about Ever’s past, Damen’s past, and some of the other things that were happening in the book. Other than that, it was great and it’s not that big a deal because the sequel helps clear up most of these issues.

Ever was a great character and so were her friends. Miles and Haven are hilarious. I think they really helped lighten the mood of the book when things started to get dark. It’s always good to have some contrast in a book and I think they really provided it with a gay actor and a love starved goth chick. I also think that they were amazingly well-developed for background characters.

The overall plot of the book was very different once I got into it. At first I thought it was going to be another Twilight because it kind of started off that way and it really upset me because I thought it wasn’t like that. Once I got into the book, though, things really changed. It was not the same old Twilight story and for that I am glad.

Overall, Evermore was a great beginning to a new series that I can’t wait for more of. I have already read the sequel and it was even better than this one. I do have to warn you, though. Once you read these you will want more of Ever, Damen, Miles, and Haven. I know I do.

If you haven’t already checked out a copy of this I urge you to pick it up. I bought both of the books and I am so glad I did. I will probably end up rereading these books many times.
