SPOILER ALERT: If you haven’t read Evermore by Alyson Noel do not read any further!!!

Ever’s life has changed so much since Damen entered it. She now knows that it wasn’t her fault that her family was killed and she can live her life so much better now. Now she has her two friends and the perfect boyfriend. What more could she want?

Well she might want the new kid, Roman, to stop trying to ruin it. Everyone seems to love Roman but Ever knows there is just something not right about him. Why can’t anyone else see it, especially Damen?

When Damen disappears one night Ever knows something is terribly wrong. She spends the whole weekend scouring the city for him and he just shows up back at school on Monday like nothing happened. Oh and he has no recollection of their relationship.

What has Roman done to all the people that Ever holds dear? Can she find the cure in Summerland or will she be drawn to something else, something that can take her back to before her family was killed, to before she even knew Damen existed? Which will end up meaning more to Ever, her family or her one true love?

Evermore was a great book but it didn’t leave me breathless like Blue Moon did. This book had me on the edge of my seat wondering what Ever would choose to do. It was just such an amazing follow-up novel and the ending just left me wanting more.

Alyson Noel has created an awesome new series that definitely deserves all the hype it is getting. I saw the first book on tons of blogs but I was skeptical about it at first. It seemed like another Twilight knockoff all about forbidden romance and new kids in town. I just wasn’t sure I wanted more of that. I was so wrong. Evermore and Blue Moon are so much better than that but I do think fans of Twilight will love Damen and Ever.

The plot of this book was definitely different than anything I had expected but it was a pageturner. I just couldn’t stand not knowing what was going to happen to Damen and Ever in the end. Roman was my least favorite character but that was to be expected, he’s the bad guy. Also, he is just kind of creepy.

Another thing I really liked about Blue Moon was the development of Ever. She seems to be changing the way she looks at life and the people around her. She develops deeper friendships with Miles and Haven and her relationship with Damen grows into something great. Also, she seems to be giving her aunt a little more slack and opening up to her more.

Overall, Blue Moon was just great. The Immortals series is one of my new favorites and I can’t wait for more. The end left me speechless and wanting 2010 to be here just so I know how Damen and Ever can work around the next obstacle in their relationship.

  1. Great review! Creepy is a great way to sum up Roman. I also wanted to stick a sock in his mouth at the end, the boy never shuts up! I enjoyed Blue Moon much better than Evermore. I’m excited to see how this series will unfold.

  2. Thanks for the review! This is sitting in my pile of books to read on vacation and it’s been really hard to keep from picking it up before I leave (only one week to go, shouldn’t be TOO hard). From reading your review it sounds like Alyson Noel goes into more depth developing the characters in Blue Moon, and I’m really glad to hear that.

  3. I have read Evermore, which I liked, but felt that the first half of the book was dragged a lot.But, that won’t stop me from reading the next in the series.Thanks for the review 🙂
