After looking back at previous reviews, I realised that I haven't put up a review that is less than glowing. So, I thought I'd review this novel Evermore by Alyson Noel which didn't exactly jam my doughnut...
Synopsis: 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…
My thoughts: I found this book to be mediocre at best. The writing is flimsy in places and none of the characters seem to develop properly.
Noel also doesn't answer a whole range of questions that are set up which is frustrating for the reader and makes the ending unexciting.
I did like the pace and the interludes with Ever's younger sister Riley who was like a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stale narrative.
Overall, this could have been a much better and more interesting novel but instead it was lukewarm and I won't be reading the others.

P.S. Sorry if this doesn't make total sense, I've got a lovely dose of tonsilitus right now! WG x
