Blue Moon-Second book of the Immortals-Alyson Noel

All right, this blog is actually over due. Even though the book came out on July 7th I got it last week. I forgot that I pre-ordered it! So, what a lovely surprise when it came (and I just love surprises!)

The first book in this series is called Evermore. I adored that one. This series is actually up there in my top ten of all time so far along with Harry Potter and the Ugly series.

Since I am bringing up Harry, the way that Blue Moon went reminded me of the way that the Potter books played out. There was always something that he had to get over by himself because everyone abandoned him. Poor Ever, you would think she could find some happiness now that she has come to some kind of terms with losing her family (and dog, never forget Buttercup), Drina shall bother her no more, she won't have to keep going through the incarnation cycle anymore and she can now spend eternity with dreamy and adoring Damen! That boy makes my heart patter he's so cute. Now if she can just seal the deal and do the dirty deed with him after waiting hundreds of years. Suddenly, there is a new kid that is sitting with the gang at lunch and she just gets the hebbie jebbies from him. Something just does not sit right with her even though he is going out of his way to gain her acceptance. After a couple of days of spending lunch with him he claims that he is going to do away with the high school chaste system and everyone is going to live in harmony. Though it sounds fantastic there are still some sceptisims with the idea for Ever. Imagine her surprise when it actually happens! Even her bosom buddies are over there and wait... is that Damen making out with Stacia? And is that an aura that Ever sees around him? Damen has forgotten all of his past lives and calls Ever a stalker, a freak and a spaz. Oh boy, Damen couldn't have broken my heart more. Roman is the only one that actually talks to her but she doesn't buy what he's selling. Like every heroine when their hero that has vowed undying love to her but has now turned his back on her, she has to get to the bottom of this. With the help of Ava, the helpful psychic, she figures out how to get into Summerland, where she meets two catholic school girl twins. They guide her to a hall of information where she learns that Damen is being poisoned, is slowly dying, the formula to the antidote and.. wait.. a chance to turn back time and return to her family?

Will Ever go back to before her family died, forgoe being an Immortal and forget about Damen or will she choose true love? And what is up with Roman?

This was a can not put down, must read voraciously, heart wrenching and wonderfully intriguing story. I love the duality of the charactors and how the story simply flows. It has all the ingredients for a winning story: romance, mystery, villiany, adverse events and difficult choices. When I become emotionally involved with a story, good show!

I can't wait for the next one, Shadowlands, which is projected towards the beginning of next year.

Here's the site and I so encourage everyone to pick it up.
