This was really good, but I love all the books that I read.

I am not really sure what to say about this one. I was so excited to start reading it. I loved the first three books. Hourglass ended with such a crazy cliff hanger, I had no idea what to expect with Afterlife. But I feel that something is missing from the story and I am not sure what.

Comenzamos con Lucas convertido en vampiro. Y Bianca está entre la cruda decisión de matarlo o dejarle ser un vampiro. Al final, Lucas despierta como vampiro. Lo más lógico para el egoísmo del corazón de Bianca. Ahora son los dos inmortales, una un fantasma y el otro un vampiro. Y se supone que su amor ya debe descansar en paz y tendrán que vivir una vida juntitos y felices eternamente.

No cuentan con la terrible organización cazavampiros que acecha; La Cruz Negra. ¿Su único refugio? La Academia Medianoche. ¿El problema? Bianca es un fantasma y no puede entrar con Bethany cazando fantasmas.

Y como entretenimiento, Bianca está investigando por qué Bethany caza fantasmas. Pero a la vez se encuentra con algo peor, el mundo de los fantasmas al que pertenece la requiere. Christopher es como el Dios supremo de todo eso y necesita a Bianca para reconducir los fantasmas que no encuentran su camino.

¿Amor? Suficiente. ¿Acción? Suficiente. ¿Libro perfecto? Casi. Llorarás, reirás, te enternecerás, te compadecerás, odiarás. Eso si, el final es un poco aghh. ¿Como es que Balthazar haciendo jurar a Charity que dejará en paz Lucas lo hace? Fue demasiado rápido esa resolución. Por lo menos para mí.

Este libro sin duda, es el que mejor define la saga. Es perfecto. Ata todos esos cabo sueltos de los demás libros. Aunque el final esta lejos de ser un final de los que me gusten.

I was finally able to get my hands on "Afterlife" after making a quick trip to my favorite bookstore and buying a copy as a Christmas gift to myself. ^.^ After all, who wants to be stuck wondering how a series ends? While "Balthazar" is still part of the Evernight series, "Afterlife" is the finale to the story of Bianca and Lucas.

I had high expectations for this book, mainly because I enjoyed all three of the three previously published books in the series, and while I wasn't entirely thrilled by the ending, it was interesting to see some of the sub-plots intertwine, making them integral to the overall storyline.

SpoilerWould I have wanted a "happily ever after" kind of ending? If I'm being honest, yes. I'm sappy that way. Immortals become mortals again and live the rest of their days together or one becomes the other kind of immortal. While Bianca and Lucas do swear to love each other forever, the reality is, Lucas is mortal and is still young enough that he has his whole life ahead of him. But hey, you never know, right? Maybe these two are meant to be eternally "extraordinary" and together.


I'm looking forward to getting "Balthazar" (in trade paperback in March 2013...since it'll be cheaper than the hardcover edition...hehehe!) to finally see if he'll have his own "happily ever after". ^.^

J’ai envie replongé dans l’univers d’Evernight, cela m’a fait du bien & cela m’avait un peu manqué. La fin était stressante mais les dernières pages étaient si mignonnes ! Hâte de lire le 5 <et voir ce qu’a prévu l’auteur après qu’Evernight n’existe plus>. En tout cas Bianca et Lucas sont toujours aussi mignons. Balthazar me fait un peu de la peine mais je le ship tellement avec Joséphine, j’espère ils seront ensemble dans le prochain tome. Mais j’ai aussi peur de terminer cette saga et quitter l’univers et les personnages…

an interesting way to end the series. I finally understand Mrs. Bethany. but I feel so sorry for Lucas and Bianca. I hope that Claudia Gray at least feature in Bathlazar's book.
