Is it bad to say that I had liked this book, when Ever was all messed up? Well I did, the rest of it when she wasn't being all um best word for it is "cracked out" it was kinda dull and hard to get through but when she was obsessed with Roman, and all that I got through pretty quickly. I feel bad though for Ever and Damon not being able to touch each other must be rough, I'm hoping they can find a way to break that.

I'm a sucker for covers like this. There are always curiosity when the title actually corresponds to the book. Dark Flame is clearly talking about Ever's dilemma that she has a "dark flame" for Roman that she doesn't quite understand, but just looking at this cover- it was taken literally. The contrast of the image of the candle shining bright and the character's faces which are dark seems to be symbolic in a way. (I may be totally wrong.) In this series, each cover has a image that is brighter where everything else on the cover has soft colors. It makes me enjoy seeing what cover comes next.
If you were wondering the next book in the series is titled, Night Star. It is set to release in November of 2010.
This is young adult literature and as much as I realize that, because that is all I read- there was something that bugged me throughout the entire novel. Noel's style captured the essence of teenager, Ever, but I'm sure Ever does not (if she was a real person) shrug to show every expression. I realize that teens- and I'm still one myself- shrug to say something through the way they look without really saying it. For me, there was too much shrugging. Ever shrugged for every emotion. When she was sad. When she was angry. Your get the picture. Just putting it out there that teenagers do have more expressions besides shrugging and the occasional eye-roll.
I just really hate cliff-hangers. It is called an ending and I just felt that there wasn't in the novel to show me that Ever and Damen had fixed anything. There are so many questions on what is going to happen- how is Alyson Noel going to wrap all this up? It is going to very interesting to read.
