Just as Ever is learning
everything she can about her new abilities as an immortal, initiated into the
dark, seductive world by her beloved Damen, something terrible is happening to
him. As Ever’s powers are increasing, Damen’s begin to fade after he is stricken
by a mysterious illness that threatens his memory, his identity, his life.
Desperate to save him, Ever travels to the mystical dimension
of Summerland, where she uncovers not only the secrets of Damen’s past – the
brutal, tortured history he hoped to keep hidden – but also an ancient text
revealing the workings of time. With the approaching blue moon heralding her
only window for travel, Ever is forced to decide between turning back the clock
and saving her family from the accident that claimed them – or staying in the
present and saving Damen, who grows weaker each day….
My Views
This is the
second book in the immortalâs series. I was excited to see where the plot went
in the next book and how it would unfold. New characters were introduced which
brought in new challenges for Ever to face and use of Summerland to answer her
queries.
It took a
while to get going in my opinion, I was pushing my way through to get to the excitement.
When the story did reach the excitement, it was good to read, and I finished
the book.
Good points!
The new characters
of two twins (Romy and Rayne) which I loved because I am a twin myself ha-ha.
They added new life to the story which made you want to know more about them
and their roles. Also, Roman who Ever couldnât figure him out until later in
the book. He added new danger and excitement to the story.
The ending was
good It placed twist in the story so far which left me wanting to continue onto
the next book in the series.
Bad Points!
The beginning of the story took a while to get into, which made It hard to continue reading. Also, I was getting more romance vibes of the genre than the fantasy throughout the book. However, the plot does involve this throughout the books.
Overall
The 3* rating
was mainly on the plot taking forever to get going and I felt a little
disappointed with the story. However, the ending allowed me to want to carry on
with Everâs journey to see where and what happens next.
Hi new book review for you to have a read if you are interested đ
5*
Synopsis â
Feyre’s
survival rests upon her ability to hunt and kill â the forest where she lives
is a cold, bleak place in the long winter months. So, when she spots a deer in
the forest being pursued by a wolf, she cannot resist fighting it for the
flesh. But to do so, she must kill the predator and killing something so
precious comes at a price …
Dragged to a magical kingdom for the murder of a faerie,
Feyre discovers that her captor, his face obscured by a jewelled mask, is
hiding far more than his piercing green eyes would suggest. Feyre’s presence at
the court is closely guarded, and as she begins to learn why, her feelings for
him turn from hostility to passion and the faerie lands become an even more
dangerous place. Feyre must fight to break an ancient curse, or she will lose
him forever.
My Views
This book had me
hooked after the first few chapters! which is properly why only took me 3 days
to read ha-ha. Feyre is the main character
to the story who is living in poverty and must hunt to provide for her family. Something
happens that has her in trouble or, so she thought. Tamlin who takes her to his
court as payment for her wrong. She then finds her self uncovering secrets of
the fairies she didnât know existed.
The book is fast pace and is fantasy genre with so many new creatures, magic and love in the book. As I am an ending fan of books, this didnât disappoint me at all. It leaves you wanting to read the books to follow. I loved all the characters that was placed in the book, but Lucien is my favourite so far in the series. The story placed many twists in the plot I didnât expect which I loved!
Fav Quotes-
“There once was a lady most beautiful
spirited, if a little unusual
Her friends were few
But how men did queue
But all gave a refusal”
“Thorny. Prickly. Sour. Contrary” I love both the quotes they set the tone of the book.
Good points
The book keeps a
fast pace plot throughout the story. It displays characters that you grow to
love and hate. Now I am Tamlin fan however, others have told me to prepare for
the next books ha-ha. I love that there is a strong female character that does
not depend on boys/men to hunt and provide for her family.
Another good point
Is there were so many secrets and twists to the book it is hard not to put
down! Lucien character I loved throughout he was the humour, laughter and loyal
friend of the story. The story is so well written that you can literally picture
every description and sentence. The romance was well thought out as you see the
characters grow on one another.
Bad points
As was a 5* rating
there wasnât many bad points. However, the one thing I would say is this book
is written for female readers in my opinion. This is only because as I read the
book I couldnât imagine a male reading it and enjoying it the same. This is
just my view though!
Itâs been years since Joseph left, all but me remain, many of my other brothers moved for marriage  but I knew that was not my destiny. I turned eighteen last week, my father is looking for suitors for me to marry. My thoughts lay with the one person who showed me love, my brother Joseph. A knock came to the door. âIvy itâs time to meet the new suitor today.â Ivy moved her covers from her body and stretched to wake herself. âYes, father I am just getting ready now.â She walked to the mirror clutching the necklace tight holding back her tears. Ivy shoved a short dress which hugged her figure nicely and added her boots. She reached for the door, walked to the living room which only had one couch and a small coffee table. My mother stood in the kitchen making tea for the guests thatâs when I saw him. The fare haired man with the greenest eyes I had ever seen. âIvy, this is Lucas.â her father said. She walked towards the man and held her hand out well taking him all in. Lucas reached for her hand and gently placed a kiss upon it. âLovely to meet you Ivy.â Ivy never spoke up when her father was present until now. âLucas would you follow me into the training room?â âIvy I donât think that will be necessary.â He looked her directly into her eyes with angry forming. âWell, I need to get to know him father.â Ivy dragged the man through to the training room.
She let go of his hand and took a sit near the weapons area. âWow this is an impressive room.â Lucas smiled towards Ivy as he spoke. âYes, my brother built it.â A look of pain formed in her eyes as Lucas walked over to join her. âI am sorry about all this arranged marriage stuff.â âIt is not your fault I just despise my father and I blame him for the past. He reached for her hands and smiled at her. Ivy did not understand this emotion she was feeling. âI see, well I suppose if we get stuck marrying it would not be that bad.â âLucas⌠can I ask you for something?â âoh, course what is it?â Ivy looked embarrassed to be asking but she wanted to know. âWill you kiss me?â Lucas reached for a strand of hair and placed it behind her eye. She looked at his lips then his eyes were watching in amusement. Their lips reached one another as they closed their eyes their tongues swirled into a fantasy she had dreamed of. She thought he was unlike the other suitors. Their hands exploring each otherâs bodies until… âIvy!â Her father dragged her off him in disgust. âFather stop!â Ivy was choking on her hair being dragged by her father to her room. He throws her on her bed and turned to walk away she looked alone again with no one. That night Ivy didnât leave her bed as she wept her tears all night until sleep came.
Thanks for reading my posts! Stay tuned for more đ

touching them. She wants to hide from
the world, but when a stunningly handsome new guy arrives at school, she canât
keep away.
Views
The story follows from the point of view of Ever the main
character. She can see peopleâs auras and see peopleâs thoughts through touch. The
genre for this is Romance Fantasy shocker haha. This is my fav genre for those
that donât know.
The plot of the novel took a while to get going for me personally.
However, I enjoy the endings of books the most and this book ending surprised me
through twists and turns I wasnât expecting. Also, the book focused on small
detail of flowers throughout. It made me want to know the significance of the
flowers and it did that by the end of the book.
The character of Riley (little sister) in this book was a
nice touch and showed great relationships of the two throughout the scenes.
Also, Damen is the new school guy Ever finds intriguing and it follows the
development of their relationship. The chemistry shown in the books was what
all romances is about!
Fav Quotes
âEver watched a cat kill a mouse? She smiles, eyes glowing.â
It just shows the kind of character Drina is in the book
series and it makes me laugh. Also, in a good part of the book were the pace of
the plot is in swing.
âCreepiest friendship ever, Ever ha Get it?â
Another funny quote in the novel! The story was good and had
funny moments like this and also emotional ones.
Negatives!
The reason it has a high rating is because of the twists in
the plot and the ending didnât disappoint! Though I will say I wouldnât know
there were more to the story if I didnât search this myself. Also, it took its time for me to get into it
properly and thatâs why it got 4 stars and not 5. I canât see were the plot will
go in the other books in the series is another reason for a lower rating.
Overall, I would recommend this book to any Romance Fantasy
fans out there! I will be starting the second book in May to see where the plot
will go.
