Just like there’s no way that romance isn’t going to experience some bumps and pitfalls along the way. Damen’s ex-girlfriend turns out to be a major fly in the ointment. The back and forth play between Ever and Damen did get a little annoying, but that’s just because it’s so expected.
Ever’s friends at this point are kind of one dimensional, but the story is all about the romance. With the series progressing as it is, I expect the friends to step into the limelight more as things go along. One of the best characters in the book is Ever’s little sister, Riley. Riley is just awesome and a lot of fun to spend time with. However, it looks like she may be going away. When she does, I’m going to miss her.
But there are plenty of other mysteries to keep you turning the pages. I want to know more about Damen, Ever’s powers, and what exactly they’re going to be called upon to do. With everything going on, you know it has to be big.
Alyson Noel can really write. Her words flow effortlessly and her dialogue rings true. This book is a breeze to read. I will offer the caveat that the f-bomb gets dropped a couple of times, which kind of surprised me because I didn’t think it is truly necessary, but the teen market this is aimed for have definitely been exposed to that language. I wouldn’t put this book into the hands of naive nine to 12 year old, though.
Evermore is a crackerjack read for teens and teen-at-heart adults looking for more teen angst and a gushy love story with some action and mysteries spread throughout.

Yea, I'm kinda surprised that I haven't seen this book ANYwhere except for the one copy I bought out of impulse (and what a great impulse it was) at walmart. I didn't know there would possibly be a movie either! I hope they get a girl that looks like the one on the cover.

If this book will be a movie, I recommend Steven Strait to play Damen.

I love this book.. I just got to the part were he left. I don't think I would yell at someone like that. Maybe she could have listened to him a little bit. I could not stop reading the book. I need a couple of chapters left. 2 more to read..:]:]

I fail to understand why you are raving about this.
Perhaps it is because you have extremely low standards, or maybe this site is lacking in good reviewers. Either way, it's clear that you lack good taste because this book was neither original, nor good. It was a carbon copy of twilight, mixed with every other teen cliche and angst story you could ever find.
I actually had to return the book to the bookstore it was so bad, and I've never done that before.
The mere fact that the book has been optioned for a movie tells me just how pathetic and money hungry the entertainment industry is, because there is no way anyone should pay to see this pathetic excuse for a book in movie form.

Although I think the series is great, I noticed a huge gaping hole in the story. I've always wondered that if Ever reincarnates, then how come her parents, Riley and even their dog ends up in an afterlife? I mean, before Ever becomes an immortal, she is still living diffrerent lives through reincarnation (i.e. the one with the strict Puritan father, or the spoiled London girl one). But, after the car crash that killed her family, then end up crossing the bridge forever. I also read the book about Riley's adventures in the afterlife, which proves that the rest of the family was definitely NOT reincarnated. Jude was also said to be reincarnated with Ever through all of her lives as her other lover. Am I the only one that realized this?

The way I see it, people are reincarnated only to fulfill what their soul is longing to do. Ever's soul wanted to be with Damen. That doesn't mean her parents or her sister or her dog will be reincarnated with her. The same for Jude; His soul wanted to know if Ever would choose him or Damen. He had to stick around her to wait and see.
