Evermore (The Immortals, #1)

by Alyson Noël

I experienced deja-vu while reading Evermore. This story has the same themes and structures of almost every other YA book that I've read and its aura fails to shine in comparison to the other books that deals with the same themes. The whole story is predictable.

Ever, the main character, annoys me so much. I understand her grief, but her bratty, selfish and annoying behaviour didn't allow me to connect with her character.

Her love interest is Damen, the tall, dark and handsome mysterious guy who is good at everything and has no flaws, because apparently perfection isn't overrated. Even although he acts like a total jerk all the time and continually puts Ever's life in danger, she still manages to fall madly in love with him. CUE THE INSTA-LOVE! I'm not interested or invested in Ever and Damen as a couple and I feel that Ever could have found a much better love interest, preferably someone who doesn't have any ties to their past relationships. ).

What kept me reading is Riley, Ever's dead sister. She brings fun and laughter as well as sadness grief and her relationship with Ever reminded of me a little of my relationship with my older sister.

Evermore lacks a solid plot and has no shock factor. The insta-love romance is focused on more than the paranormal aspect and this book fails to draw me in and keep me invested.
