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.
Ever can see auras. She can also hear peoples thoughts. She feels like she can't escape...until Damien walks in. Finally, the voices clear and sweet silence filters through. Everything seems perfect...but nothing(and no one) is perfect.
I really enjoyed this book. There were some spots where I rolled my eyes and thought, "Oh, Jeez". But for the most part this book was everything I thought it would be. Sweet and magical. The paranormal wasn't too far fetched. The characters well drawn. Damen was a great alternative to Twilight's Edward. Although Ever was a bit of a self loather, you really can't blame her. If you saw auras and heard peoples thoughts, you wouldn't be jumping for joy either.
All in all, a great start to a (fingers crossed) great series. I can't wait to see what happen in the next book coming out in June 09. Definitely a lot of great things coming our way from Alyson Noel.
RATING: 5/5
