emiliebookworld's review against another edition
**********SPOILER ALERT**********
I love Alyson Noël’s Immortals series, it’s just an interesting concept and it’s also quite different from all the other paranormal books out there. Night Star, the fifth book in the series, continued to amaze me and now I can’t wait to see how it’s all going to turn out in the final book that comes out next summer. Noël writes an incredible story and creates these characters that feel real despite the fact that there are no such things as immortals...at least there aren’t as far as I know.
When Roman died, Ever lost almost all chances she had of ever finding the antidote that will allow her and Damen to finally be completely together. Now she must do her best to get back the shirt he wore on the night he was killed by Jude. Only Haven is standing in the way of that. She wants nothing more than revenge for what she thinks Ever did to Roman. Prepared to do anything to protect herself from Haven, Ever finds out new truths and comes closer than ever to losing her life. With more and more people knowing their secret, Ever and Damen find themselves facing new problems and new enemies.
I have a sort of love-hate relationship with Ever. At times I absolutely love her and want her to have everything she wants but at other times I just want her to stop and grow a brain or a back bone. To me though, that makes her more realistic despite the whole immortal thing. Despite the weird relationship I have with her, most of the time I tend to like her more than hate her. In spite of all her faults, there’s just something about her that i can’t help but love. Haven on the other hand, I never really particularly took to her, even from the very beginning. She always seemed like she was trying to hard or that it wouldn’t take much to set her off. And obviously that proved true. Once she had only a small amount of power she got greedy and essentially turned over to the dark side.
Damen is a hard character to explain. Every time I think I’ve got him figured out something happens that changes almost everything and I have to figure him out all over again. Sure it gets a little bit tiresome but it also makes him more interesting and keeps me interested. If only he would just tell Ever the whole truth once and for all I would be happy and would just like him that much more. Jude is a bit of a puzzle too. I’m never really sure what to expect from him or even who he is. There are just somethings about him that are mysterious and I never really know what to make of him. Maybe eventually I’ll have him all figured out...hopefully by the end of the last book. As for Miles, he just makes me laugh. Even when he’s dead serious I can’t help but smile. He brings humor to the story and sometimes I feel that without it, the books would be quite heavy.
What I love about this series is that I never know where the story is going to take me. One minute I think I know what’s going to happen and the next something completely different takes place. Even emotionally I never know where it’s going to take me. The story is like a roller coaster ride and I absolutely love it. With Night Star, there is still plenty that I don’t completely understand but I’m sure in will all come together very soon.
I love Alyson Noël and her Immortals series. Every time a new book comes out I get all excited and start reading it as soon as I have my hands on a copy. Once again, Night Star left me wanting more and I can’t wait to see how everything will come together in Everlasting.

I've got to say Night Star was better than I expected, and there is a brand new twist in the story, which will be resolved in the final book (I hope?). Evermore completely captured my attention, Blue Moon wasn't a bad sequel, I enjoyed it. When Shadowland hit it kind of started to go downhill for me. I feel as if the same things happen over and over again in the books, and well Haven annoys the crap of me. But, if you read my past reviews - you see that I never really enjoyed her, and well I knew she'd turn evil... it was only a matter of time. :)
This book was just okay for me. Ever is a strong girl, Miles is hilarious and a great friend, Jude is a doll, and well Damen I've got to give him credit... he's a pretty damn good sexy fella. Where this book didn't leave me in awe, it was still a good read and if you've been keeping up with the series... I'd say give it a go.
This installment, was well written. I'm glad that Ever finally made a choice and is going to fight for everything she deserves. Also, I have to say i'm happy with the way this book ended and of course I will finish the series and read "Everlasting". I hope everything gets resolved and things turn out for the good. We shall see this summmer...

Really enjoyed this book..I'm not sure why I never picked up the last book..but looking back at this cover it looks like a perfume ad. I guess I should get on to picking up the last book.. I'm terrible for that !

Overall, this book was ok. Ia am happy with the fact that we learned a little bit more about Ever's past. I liked how the author put some important issue to bed there were still open from the past four books. Ever seems to have grown a lot since the last book. However, I did feel that book moved a little slow. But overall the book was ok. I am really looking forward to the last book, because I think we might learn the real truth behind summerland and whole Immortal thing.

One thing i do remember about this series (since i read it a few years back) is that the MC honestly bugged me.
(The fact that she never listened despite the correct choice being SO obvious- but then i guess we wouldn't have reached a happy ending if she had... :/ *sigh*)

I'm sorry, but an entire 6-book series that focuses on the two MCs not being able to have sex is just icky and gross.

Ίσως καλύτερο από το 4ο και από το 3ο βιβλίο της σειράς αλλά και πάλι τίποτα το εξαιρετικό και με τα ίδια προβλήματα όπως πάντα στην πλοκή και την γραφή.Το πρόβλμα με αυτη τη σειρά δεν είναι ακριβώς η ιδέα αλλά το πόσο βαρετό και φλύαρο γίνεται.Θα ήταν πολύ καλύτερο να βγεί σαν μια τριλογία αντί ν α μας κουράζει με όλες αυτές τις άχρηστες περιγραφές!Τέλοσπάντων ότι και να γίνει έχω υποσχεθεί στον εαυτό μου ότι θα την τελειώσω αυτή τη σειρά πάση θυσία!
