My least favorite trope is miscommunication, and unfortunately that's the entire book. Everything is based around Ever keeping secrets when she shouldn't and sharing secrets with the wrong people. I did enjoy the end when she had a redemption and finally told people the truth, but it was hard to get to that point. This book dragged a little. There was no new goal or evil, just the same old story told again. I'm going to finish the series, but I'm hoping the last 2 are better than this one was.

Three and a half stars. It was better than [b:Shadowland|19580|Shadowland|Peter Straub|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167258548s/19580.jpg|926255] but Ever is still a fucking idiot. The first half of the book she's got this 'monster' ranging her in that wants her to sleep with Roman because stupidly she bound herself to him. Didn't you figure out that problem in the book before this? Why would you try to undo it when magic just seems to be useless in this book? Plus her going through all the motions, crystals, herbs, soothing bath. Had me rolling my eyes. We get it, lame ritual, can you get on with it now?
But yeah Roman. I wanted her to sleep with him. It would've make this series a hundred-times better. No, he sense had to come over her and she knees him in the balls and he tells her to fuck off. I mean really, she's so tightly wound it would probably make her feel so much better.
This whole book is supposed to be about Haven and her change. At least that's what the summary leads you to believe. Yeah, Haven is barely in the book. Which kinda sucks, she's SO much more interesting. Even though she is a bit more of a bitch. I mean really? That last scene? Get over yourself and your boyfriend who you said doesn't love you. And yes it's all Ever's fault.
Damen's getting on my nerves too. He's way too understanding. He even basically came out and said he doesn't blame Ever for anything she did. OMFG WHAT? I'm sure she has to take the blame for a lot of the shit she has done.
Still don't buy this whole soul mates thing. Yeah, she'll probably end up with Damen but I want her with Jude. At least he doesn't think she's perfect no matter how many stupid things she does.

2 of 5 stars
Seri Immortals: Buku Empat
Penulis: Alyson Noel
Penerjemah: Nuraini Mastura
Penerbit: Mizan Publika
ISBN: 9789794336502
Damen mengerutkan kening. Dia mendesah dan menggeleng. Tatapannya muram. Tak pernah kulihat dia seperti itu sebelumnya. “Kenapa kamu memercayai Jude, Ever? Kenapa kamu menceritakan kelemahan-kelemahan kita kepadanya?”
Ever rela melakukan apa pun demi menyelamatkan Damen, cinta sejatinya, dari kutukan akibat ramuan yang diminumnya. Mulai dari memanfaatkan sahabatnya sendiri, Haven, sampai mempelajari ilmu sihir. Namun, ketika Ever mempraktikannya, sihir itu justru berbalik menyerangnya. Karena panik dan putus asa, dia meminta bantuan pada Jude, pria yang selama ratusan tahun selalu mengejar dan berusaha mendapatkan cintanya.
Kerumitan bertambah saat Damen mengetahuinya. Dia merasa cemburu, marah, serta kecewa terhadap Ever. Sementara itu, Ever yang semakin larut dalam ilmu sihir tanpa sadar malah berisiko mencelakakan Damen.
Review:
Akhirnya, aku memantapkan diri untuk membaca seri Immortals ini kembali. Iya, sekitar satu tahun yang lalu, aku sudah baca ketiga buku sebelumnya. Awalnya sih, yang di buku pertama aku suka banget. Meskipun bahasanya agak gimanaa gitu. Intinya ada bagian-bagian yang membosankan. Di buku kedua, sama juga. Tapi masih bisa ditolerir. Di buku ketiga itu yang bikin mencak-mencak. Capek bangte bacanya. Ceritanya tambah ngambang dan makin nggak jelas.
Setelah baca buku ketiga, aku jadi radak nggak semangat untuk baca buku keempat. Males banget. Di bayanganku sih, bakal membosankan juga. Tapi berhubung aku nggak ada bacaan, ya sudahlah, aku nerima saja membaca lanjutan dari seri Immortals ini.
Oke, mari kita bahas buku keempat ini.

Well, I must say I was not expecting that ending. That's always a good thing right; Having a twist you didn't really expect. That being said I was a little ehhh with the beginning. It just seems as if the characters constantly deal with the same issues. I'm not saying I didn't like the book, because I did. It was a good book, just not my favorite in the series.
I never really liked Haven, and I did find her annoying through out the book. When you get about half way through it does seem to pick up a bit, at least for me. I found myself wanting to keep reading to find out what was going on within Ever. Damen, is his sweet, sweet self of course, sometimes you want to hit Ever for being so cruel towards him. He is the best boyfriend in the entire world! Now, Jude... I found myself liking him a bit more in this installment, such a down to earth kind of guy. Also, Roman we know he's the enemy, the person you should hate, but by the end of the book I was feeling sympathetic towards him, semi-understanding him.
Though the ending was good, and sets up perfectly for the next book in the series, I didn't feel a huge "suspense" feeling for this book. You know how some books you're reading and it builds and builds and then you're like 'omg what's going to happen?!' ... well I didn't feel that way about Dark Flame, though I did enjoy it. It's a dark book, with love, magic, torment, and understanding. I'm curious to see where she takes it in book #6: Night Star.

I love this cover out of all the novels in this series. I like to think that Ever makes a lot of bad decisions because it's what most people in real life would do... we can't always know how things are going to turn out.. plus we need drama to full the story. But I really hate her "best friend"...this series can be very frustrating at times but at the core Ever is a character you love to hate.

Ever makes some dumb decisions. But for some reason I like Ever. I agree with many of the reviews on this book and the immortals books in general. But at this point I want to see how the story ends. I really like Jude and Damon is really lame now. I am getting sick of him. At first he was all hot now it just there. And the thing with Ava no way! Why trust her. . As for Roman, well he was a jerk but at the end he had something good about him, wow that great but Ever once again is left out in the cold. I do not see where the story is going. How will Ever and Damon ever be together if Roman dead?
