It's slow, and while I don't mind taking a languid ride through a few hundred pages if the writing is exquisite and the eventual end is worth the wait, in Evermore it just isn't.
I've spent the better part of a day trying to work out why. Okay, maybe, but I'm not sure it even climbs high enough up the ladder to be comfortably 'good'. All it's missing is a love rival, but hey, what else are parts two and three for?īut, despite all this, it doesn't quite manage to be great. But I'm going to try.Įvermore has all the hallmarks of a teen supernatural romance classic – unattainable love interest of some unknown supernatural race, troubled heroine struggling to make sense of her life, antagonist character determined to keep the destined pair apart, copious physical description of all the aforementioned characters and emotional first person narrator. To do this review without mentioning the 'T' word is going to be nigh on impossible, because the similarities are many. Who is he? Or, more importantly, what is he? … Ever quickly becomes infatuated, but Damen is mysterious – she can't read his mind, and he's often absent from school.
Every time he speaks to her, it's like there's no space in her mind for anyone but him. Beautiful and wealthy, Damen is attractive in many ways, but its his ability to silence the noise in her head that Ever is drawn to. Besides Haven and Miles, fellow misfits, Ever's only real friend is Riley, who's been haunting her since the crash. It doesn't make surviving high school any easier, and Ever finds herself a social outcast in her new school, always hiding behind her hoodies, iPod in ear to keep all the unwanted voices out. Ever survived, but not unscathed.Įver can hear people's thoughts, see their auras and know their life stories through a single touch. Then a tragic car accident claimed the lives of her family – her parents and her little sister Riley. She had a best friend, a cute boyfriend, and her whole future ahead of her.
Sixteen-year-old Ever used to be normal, popular even. But mostly it will leave you wanting to revisit Twilight. Summary: An okay read with all the necessary ingredients for a teen supernatural romance classic.
