Evermore by Alyson Noel

Here’s a blurb from Ms. Noel’s site: Since a horrible accident claimed the lives of her family, Ever can see auras, hear people's thoughts, and know a person's entire life story by touch. Going out of her way to avoid human contact and suppress her abilities has branded her as a freak at her new high school—but everything changes when she meets Damen.


Damen Auguste is gorgeous, exotic and wealthy. He's the only one who can silence the noise and random energy in her head—wielding a magic so intense, it's as though he can see straight into her soul. As Ever is drawn deeper into his enticing world of secrets and mystery, she's left with more questions than answers. She has no idea just who he really is—or what he is. The only thing she knows to be true is she's falling deeply and helplessly in love with him.

Okay, I have to admit, I’m a total sucker for books like this. Being taken on the whole story of girl meets hot boy, girl falls for said boy, wait…then there’s some issue, will it all work out in the end? The only thing that bummed me a bit was it took awhile for their relationship to get going.  I did really enjoy this book though. So much in fact, that now I’m hooked on the series and am going to read the rest. Ssshh, don’t tell anyone but one day I stopped in to have lunch and was reading during lunch, I just decided to play hooky and finish reading the book right there in Tokoyo Joe’s. I love Ever’s friends, especially Miles. He’s just so honest, blunt, and that’s a good quality in a friend. The cover (even my son remarked) looks like the same girl on North of Beautiful. A lovely cover all the same. I could totally see this being a movie. I got swept up in this and am going to give it 4 roses!
