Night Star by Alyson Noel (Book Five Immortals Series) MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS

Number of Pages :  302

Publisher :  Macmillan/St Martin's Press

My Review : 3 out of 10 

After fighting for centuries to be together, Ever and Damen’s future hinges on one final showdown that will leave readers gasping for breath. Don’t miss this explosive new installment of the #1 bestselling series that’s enchanted millions across the world!

Haven still blames Ever for the death of her boyfriend Roman, no matter how hard Ever’s tried to convince her it was an accident. Now she’s determined to take Ever down…and destroy Damen and Jude along the way. Her first step is to tear Ever and Damen apart—and she has just the ammunition to do it.

Hidden in one of Ever’s past lives is a terrible secret about Damen—a secret that illuminates new facts about her relationship with Jude, but that’s so dark and brutal it might be enough to drive her and Damen apart once and for all. As Ever faces her greatest fears about the guy she wants to spend eternity with, she’s thrust into a deadly clash with Haven that could destroy them all.

Now it’ll take everything she’s got—and bring out powers she never knew she had—to face down her most formidable enemy. But in order to win, she must first ask herself: is her own survival worth dooming Haven to an eternity of darkness in the Shadowland? And will learning the truth about Damen’s past hold the key to their future?

I am afraid to say that I did not enjoy this book very much.  The main character definately bugs me and it just seems as though everything from the past books have been left unanswered and we are, yet again, having to face all the same questions throughout the story which, for me, I did not enjoy.  The final book in the series does come out at some point this year and I will probably borrow this from the library just to see what happens and to see whether it does come to an explosive end and whether we get any answers...  Sorry to say that I really did not enjoy this one as much as what I thought I would.

Book Review - Dark Flame by Alyson Noel (Book4 Immortals Series) MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS

Number of Pages : 320

Publisher : Macmillan

My review : 3 out of 10


Ever is trying to help Haven transition into life as an immortal.  But with Haven drunk on her new powers and acting recklessly, she poses the ultimate threat—exposing their secret world to the outside.  As Ever struggles to keep the Immortals hidden, it only propels Haven closer to the enemy—Roman and his evil companions

At the same time, Ever delves deeper into dark magick to free Damen from Roman’s power. But when her spell backfires, it binds her to the one guy who’s hell-bent on her destruction. Now there’s a strange, foreign pulse coursing through her, and no matter what she does, she can’t stop thinking about Roman—and longing for his touch.  As she struggles to resist the fiery attraction threatening to consume her, Roman is more than willing to take advantage of her weakened state…and Ever edges closer and closer to surrender.
Frantic to break the spell before its too late, Ever turns to Jude for help, risking everything she knows and loves to save herself—and her future with Damen …

I did not enjoy this one as much as I did book one.  For me, the story just did not progress and I felt that it tended to repeat the same things a lot.  The main character, Ever, frustrated me a lot with this book where she keeps making wrong decisions that are really obvious.  I am continuing to read this series but only really to find out whether something explosive really does happen that might change my mind....

Hey guys,

Here is my review of book three in the Immortals series.  As this is book three, there may contain spoilers.  If you have not read the first two books in the series and don't want to know what happens, I would recommend not reading any further (but do come back for other reviews lol!!!)....

My review : 5 out of 10

Ever and Damen have traveled through countless past lives—and fought off the world’s darkest enemies—so they could be together forever.  But just when their long-awaited destiny is finally within reach, a powerful curse falls upon Damen…one that could destroy everything.  Now a single touch of their hands or a soft brush of their lips could mean sudden death—plunging Damen into the Shadowland.   Desperate to break the curse and save Damen, Ever immerses herself in magick—and gets help from an unexpected source…a surfer named Jude.

Although she and Jude have only just met, he feels startlingly familiar.  Despite her fierce loyalty to Damen, Ever is drawn to Jude, a green-eyed golden boy with magical talents and a mysterious past.  She’s always believed Damen to be her soulmate and one true love—and she still believes it to be true.  But as Damen pulls away to save them, Ever’s connection with Jude grows stronger—and tests her love for Damen like never before…

 To be honest, I am not enjoying these books as much as thought I would.  Please see below for a full review:

Book Review - Blue Moon by Alyson Noel (Book Two in the Immportals Series) MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS

Hey guys,

So here is my first review today....

Number of pages :  362

Publisher :  Macmillian/St Martin's Pres

My review:  7 out of 10


Just as Ever is learning everything she can about her new abilities as an immortal, initiated into the dark, seductive world by her beloved Damen, something terrible is happening to him.  As Ever’s powers are increasing, Damen’s are fading—stricken by a mysterious illness that threatens his memory, his identity, his life.

     Desperate to save him, Ever travels to the mystical dimension of Summerland, uncovering not only the secrets of Damen’s past—the brutal, tortured history he hoped to keep hidden—but also an ancient text revealing the workings of time. With the approaching blue moon heralding her only window for travel, Ever is forced to decide between turning back the clock and saving her family from the accident that claimed them—or staying in the present and saving Damen, who grows weaker each day...

 This book was good and expanded more into what was happening and what the characters were after but in this book I felt that some things were repeated and I started to get frustrated by the fact that Ever kept making bad choices...

Book Review - Evermore by Alyson Noel (Book 1 in the Immotals Series)

Hey guys,

This is a really good series I have started so far....

Publisher is 

Number of Pages - 324

My review - 10 out of 10

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 equal parts light and darkness, and he belongs to an enchanted new world where no one ever dies.

This is such a great book...  At first I thought it was going to be another vampire type story but I was really wrong about that.  I loiked this book because it is definately different and I was completely hooked on this and cannot wait to read the rest of the series (5 books published so far and 6th on its way this year I believe).
