My Rating: 3/5
From Goodreads: Since a horrible accident claimed the lives of her family, sixteen-year-old Ever can see auras, hear people’s thoughts, and know a person’s life story by touch. Going out of her way to shield herself from human contact to suppress her abilities has branded her as a freak at her new high school—but everything changes when she meets Damen Auguste . . .
Ever sees Damen and feels an instant recognition. He is gorgeous, exotic and wealthy, and he holds many secrets. Damen is able to make things appear and disappear, he always seems to know what she’s thinking—and he’s the only one who can silence the noise and the random energy in her head. She doesn’t know who he really is—or what he is. Damen equal parts light and darkness, and he belongs to an enchanted new world where no one ever dies.
My Thoughts: I've been reading a lot of paranormal books lately, and I think it's starting to wear on me. I've had Evermore for quite awhile and decided to finally read it. After picking it up a few times before, I would put it down after just a few pages. The synopsis interested me, but I found the book to be just okay. It wasn't amazing, but it wasn't terrible.
Ever was a realistic and genuine character. Despite Ever having paranormal abilities, she was still plagued mostly by the loss of her family and the feeling that it was all her fault. She was easy to relate to because of the "normal" teen troubles she faced. There were a few times that I wanted to smack her for getting all worked up over Damen, but then I remembered what it was like to be a teenage girl and like a boy.
I didn't love this book, but I think that was only because I'm a little burned out on paranormal YA.
