Dark Flame by Alyson Noel

I loved this story, it was so much better than her last one. Loads more happens and the spell that was said to have gone wrong in the last book, shows how wrong it did go. Roman seems to hold all the cards in his hands, especially now he has made Ever turn Hevan to an immortal. The pair don't manage to last long as firends once Roman stands between them and as the magic takes it grasp.  Thankfully Ever gets the spell under control after almost completely loosing it all together. Ever then learns that the only way she will ever get the antidote to the antidote is by saying to Roman, that she no longer plays by his mind games. She makes head way with her plan and takes Roman to the place where the only love of his life will be for the rest of forever, the place where all immortals go when they die for good, Shadowlands. The only problem is that Roman shows Ever the antidote and puts it in his pocket. Half way through Ever showing Roman the shadowlands,  Jude bursts in thinking Ever is in danger and kills Roman, smashing the antidote as he goes. Ever is beyond upset, more so as Hevan arrives and promises all kind of hell on both of them for killing Roman. Where will the next immortals book Night Star take us?

shadowland by Alyson Noel

Do you know i have written a really long review of this in a note book and now i have misplaced the note book, always useful, so i appologise for this book review being rubbish but i have lost the will to have to work my way through it again!

I thought Shadowlands was really disapointing, i expected better after Evermore and Blue Moon, And nothing happened by chapter 36 of 48 your wondering what the hell has happened from the first page this one and the true answer is nothing, the action if you can call it that happens in about half a chapter i do believe believe its chapter 47, but its just not as thrilling as the past books, i hope the next one picks up or i really will be annoyed. Its not a bad read, there's nothing at all wrong with the story or the characters its just very samey and nothing really happens, you do have to read it though if your following the immortals saga, the little action that does happen i guess will lead on in Dark Flame.

Here's hoping for lots better in dark flame when it is released in a few weeks

Blue Moon By Alyson Noel Chapter 18- the end

wow that is all i can say, this story gets mega weird but in a good way, Damen goes from bad to worse in his behaviour, which pushes Ever to seem ever crazier to her one time friends, she and Ava break into Damen's house after she is convinced he is being posioned by Roman, she tries his Exlier and realises that he is indeed being poisened. The only downside is that Damen catches them, making her task to changed poisoned exlier for clean exlier even more difficult. Ever knows that Roman is the bad influence, she just doesn't know how to stop him. After serveral visits to Summerland it appears that Ever can turn back time and go back to before her family died before she met Damen before her life fell to pieces.
She then learns whilst in Summerland she learns how to safe Damen and make an antidote and how to make the exlier, her only hope now is that Ava can help her get everything she needs, Ava is very useful she has all the herbs and crystals and even has the information on the next blue moon when all this has to be done by. The shock for Ever is that she has less than 24 hours to make it all work, creating the antidote, exlier and stopping Roman, first of all she makes the antidote and the exlier, with that ready she goes to school and works out how to stop Roman's influence, which she managers to do. Damen then appears old haggered and dying, Ever takes him to Ava, resting him in the pure room, she tells Ava that she has to give him the antidote after the moon has shone on it, then after three days she has to give him the exlier.
After that Ever goes to face Roman, who isn't at his home so she empties his bottles of exlier and then takes herself to Summerland to go back to her past life. Romy and Rayne the weird twins she met in Summerland attempt to stop her going but there is nothing they can do and before she knows it she is transported to her old life with no memeory of what has gone before. It takes you back to a chemistry test and a discussion with her old best friend Rachel, and brings her back to her boyfriend, who she knows she should have feelings for but no longer does. The relationmship between the two is brief but Ever and her family go away to the lakes and enjoy a weekend, on there way back home Riley comes through and talks to her, telling Ever she has to go back, that what happened was always destined to happen, Ever doesn't understand, then a lorry comes out and smashes through the car, Ever wakes up screaming in her new life with her auntie Sabine. Who has made her brownies just like her mum used to make, she quickly tries them and scoots off to Ava's wondering if all worked with Damen, but when she gets there Ava isn't home but Roman is there, she works out how to kill him, but then eventually gets into Damen who is supported in a safe circle by Rayne, Roman treiws to make Ever believe him and unfortunately she does, runs through the safe circle breaking it and giving the antidote to Damen, then Roman tells her that she can never have a proper relationship with Damen now as if her DNA passes to him he will die. She can never kiss him, hold his hand or sleep him. That is of course unless she tracks down Roman who may have an antidote to the antidote. Hmmmm He's a tricky character isn't he? great story though very much enjoyed it can't wait for Summerlands.

Evermore by Alyson Noel chapters 1-7

Ok Finally after two books i struggled with i find one that drags in straight away, woooohooo!!!! I was addicted to Evermore by the time i was half way through the first page. Alyson Noel is just a an amazing author, she brings charaters to life quickly.

We first meet Haven who is a slighty gothic but all the same warm and caring girl, who cares deeply for Ever, but Ever has a way of knowing things about people, that others may find just a little bit weird, she can hear what is going through someones mind and she also sees there aura, this hasn't always happened though, this only happened after her whole family was in this accident where they all died but Ever, and now she has these extra talents as well as seeing and regularly talking to her dead sister.
Oh yeah it all happens for Ever, the once mega popular blonde beauty who everyone wanted to be and every guy wanted to date. Now though, she prefers to go under the radar as much as she can, living her life under her hooded tops and ipod firmly in her ears trying to drown out the volume of her class mates endless ramblings in their minds. Until a very gorgeous Damen turns up, he has a lot going for him many for the fact that when he talks to Ever everyone's brains shut up and all goes quiet, she feels warm and tingly, only problem is he hasn't got an aura and those who don't have aura's are dead.

There is so much to say about this book but i will go into more detail in my next review
