Evermore

Evermore by Alyson Noel

About: A teenage girl, Ever, becomes a psychic after an accident kills the rest of her family. She moves to California with her aunt, and takes her ability to see people's auras, hear their thoughts, and know them through touch with her. In her new school she meets Damen, a boy who can silence the noise and random energy in her head. The problem is she cannot decipher him and she's falling helplessly in love with him.

My Opinion: It felt very twilight-y for a large portion of the beginning. Which is not to say that I didn't like this book or Twilight because I did. The characters were somewhat bland but Alyson Noel kept the story intriguing and mysterious. The writing was very good, and I was racing for the end, calculating how much longer I had to wait for Damen to be explained. And the end did not disappoint as the mysteries began to unravel and explanations were made, and the originality of the plot could came through. The beginning of The Immortals series was done quite nicely.

Rating: 3 and 1/2
