Review:
This was one of those books that made me wish that I had children. So I could tuck them in and sit before a fire, a dog at my feet sleeping while I read this book to them.
It made me think of someone reading a tale to me aloud, the way my grandmother did. It was created in a way that felt as if it was just a story being passed down they way they use to before books. Through good old story telling.

I liked how there was more then one fairy tale incorporated through this if you know where to look and being the fairy tale junkie that I am, I immediatly siezed them up.

Yes, someone dies that left me stunned as I was rooting for them to find happiness at the finish line but in the end they have the last say in things

Blue Moon Review by Alyson Noel

Synopsis:  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 are fading—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, uncovering 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...

Review:  So we are brought back to reincarnated love and the trouble that follows them through the ages. It just seems like everyone is out to get these two love birds. They are exactly as the blog is titled, Star-crossed.
I can't help but feel sorry for Ever when she realizedsed that she had been forgotten by the one person who means the most to her, her love. I know I would have been a complete and total wreck if my fiance forgot me in the time frame of just one passing day, and then proceeded to treat me the way Damen treated her. While I liked that it showed this other side to him, because everyone always has this side they hide from the other, it still was rather sad to read about.
I did like the twist the villain was able to pull off, for once there is no happy ending and while I am ever the romantic I have gotten tired of knowing how books or movies will end because they think everyone loves a happy ending.
I do think it will be interesting to see how they push through it though.

Favorite Charrie: Miles

Evermore by Alyson Noel

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 . . .

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.

Review:
I picked this book up after reaeding seers and Darcus noticed that there were many similarities. So since I like to maky my own mind up about things, I gave it a try seeing as I loved Seers.

I have seen this series in wal-mart time and time again, each time I found mysel stopping to admire the cover art but I always seemed to have a better book to buy or I thought it was to young adult for me, so I never picked it up. I was pleasantly surprised that althought it was a highschool drama, the amount of emotion put behind the charrachters was truly fascinating.

I liked how there was a creepy stalker lady, also known as Drina. Because we all know there are those crazies out there with every man or woman you date who just wont let go. So it was realistic in that sense, I see it almost every day at my work but at least they didn't go as far as Drina did... to my knowledge.

The part that was most relatable and drew the most emotion for me, was when Ever had to talk her sister into moving on. I just could not imagine having to tell my younger sister that it was ok to go.

Favorite Charrie: Haven. Yes it is bad to say but she was described as a human being, in the real world, even best friends get jealous when the other friend gets the guys attention.
