lindaunconventionalbookworms's review against another edition
I stopped reading at 34%, I just couldn't take the drama anymore, and really, nothing much has even happened so far! Ever is so adamant to not hear what other people are thinking she forgets she's still alive. *sighs*

My main issue was her insane trust in Damen. He’s always keeping info from her, even when she’s a part of it. Really though, it took him the whole book to figure out that evil wench he was married to was behind all this? Dude. No way in hell could he not have known that. As for being married, if she’s been coming back all this time, wouldn’t you want a divorce the first time you saw her come back, or even the fifth, or however many after, whenever it became legal not just now? He’s a liar. And she is gullible. Gullible as shit. And that was my deal breaker. Ooh, he gives you a flower that has a cute meaning, and flirts with other girls to see if you get jealous enough to show a reaction?
When the psycho mentions she always kills you off, and manages to make him turn to the dark side every time, wouldn’t you question that? He went there on his own fucking accord, and I’m sure he’ll go there again. Long story short, I didn't end up likin the book at all. Also, what type of evil hag kills a girl over and over before she loses her virginity?! Harsh.

When I first saw this book in the bookstore some years back, I thought it was interesting and the cover was pretty. A friend told me it was light read, easy to finish, but wasn't really worth it. I started reading this book last March, but then stopped and only continued last June. I thought was a bit funny; I'd find myself laughing in my head. It's not bad, but not good either. I guess one of the reasons I kept reading is, like Ever, I wanted to know what was going on. Every incident feels strange and stupid and shallow. I also couldn't help but think that this is something that would probably be better on TV.
Damen has limitless power. When I say limitless I mean we don't exactly know what he can or cannot do. He is an Immortal and the reason behind that was some sort of alchemy, an experiment of his father which he continued after he'd died. He drinks this red juice which is like his fountain of youth; it's what keeps him ~*~immortal~*~. What I don't understand is how he got his powers. Aside from manifestation, he can hear peoples thoughts, sees ghosts as well, and he's like a signal jammer to Ever's curse. There's no explanation or basis for his skills. He also doesn't get sick. Ever.
The characters are annoying at times. Ever has isolated herself from almost everyone because of her acquired skills after the accident. I don't know how she got her powers just by that accident. Then there's Haven who isn't exactly a good friend to Ever or to anyone, she's quite selfish and mean. Miles on the other hand, seems to care more about his text mates than his friends. Damen is...okay, I guess. He's so mysterious and secretive, and apparently hot. There was Riley, Ever's annoying little sister, who's a ghost who got left behind. And then there was Drina, another Immortal who was stalking Ever. I'll just leave it at that.
The writing style was okay, good enough. As for character development, well... I think everyone was shallow. I gave it a rating of 2 because it was tolerable, I'll read the rest of this series out of curiosity and the need to finish a series.

Not my favorite but an entertaining enough audiobook for lab work

I really like this book! It was a fun easy read with enough mystery to keep me guessing. I enjoyed that the ending was final enough that you could stop reading the series here, but also left enough open to encourage you to read further. I liked the characters and the world building. I do wish the final fight scene had been a bit more dramatic, it felt a bit like an easy way to end the story instead of an actual interaction. Also, I wish the friends would played a slightly larger role but overall really enjoyed.

It was fine. Characters are a little annoying, and it wasn’t anything special. I mean it’s so clearly the YA paranormal romance of the 2000’s, how can I be so harsh.
