Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for Blue Moon

“Alyson Noel surpassed all my expectations.  Not only is Blue Moon an amazing sequel; it sets the bar for the rest of this series very, very high!  When I reached the last page of this one, all I could say was ‘wow!’”—Teens Read Too

“It is the mark of a daring writer to defy expectations and Alyson Noel does that to the power of ten in Blue Moon.” I guarantee you will have no idea what’s coming in the second book of the series while Alyson Noel surprises you with a big, fat twist and leaves you wanting more, more, more.” --The Book Chick

“A mesmerizing tale of teenage angst, love and sacrifice with plenty of crossover appeal…The startling but satisfying ending shows that Noël knows how to keep her audience hooked. Ever's supernatural struggles are a captivating metaphor for teenage fears about love, relationships and growing up.” –Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

Blue Moon was incredible. If you thought Evermore was full of suspense and unknowns, just wait until you read Blue Moon. Noel surpassed all expectations…The plot was insane, and I mean that in a good way. Noel took this novel in a direction I was never expecting, resulting in an emotional roller coaster ride that I never wanted to end. It was so cleverly pieced, so intricately meshed, I never saw it coming. Fabulous.” –The Story Siren

 

“One of the best books I've read this year… With immortal lovers, trustworthy friends, betraying fortune tellers, and freaky identical twins, what more could you ask for? Blue Moon has me begging for Shadowland!  I can't wait for the next in the series.” –The YA Book Blogger

 

"The Immortals Series is so unique; it’s like a breath of fresh air…Noel knows how to pull you into her world with beautiful imagery and mesmerizing words. Blue Moon is a page turner that will keep you reading until the last page. Just when you think you have the plot figured out, Alyson throws in another twist making it impossible to put this book down.” –5 stars! Fantastic Book Reviews

 

“This heart-pounding sequel to Evermore is a must read!” --Mind Of A Bibliophile

Praise for Evermore

 "Teen angst and the paranormal make a combustible mix…Getting hooked on this new series, The Immortals, is guaranteed."--4 stars!  Romantic Times Magazine

Evermore will thrill many teen fantasy-suspense readers, especially fans of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series … Noël creates a cast of recognizably diverse teens in a realistic high-school setting, along with just the right tension to make Ever’s discovery of her own immortality—should she choose it—exciting and credible.”  --Booklist

 “Beautiful main characters, tense budding romance, a dark secret, mysterious immortals—what more could you ask from this modern gothic romance?” –Justine Magazine

“When I got a copy of Evermore, I sat down to read it, intending to only read a chapter or two. Instead, I blazed through the first hundred pages before I knew it…and then I didn’t want to put the book down. Except I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer. So I picked it up the next morning and finished it. Now I can’t wait till July for the second book to see what happens next.” –Blog Critics Magazine

“Get ready for a wild ride that is filled with twisting paths and mystery, love and fantasy. . . The writing style, story, and characters are a bit like Meyer and Marr's popular books, but written with a new twist and voice. And after reading the book, you too will probably want your own Damen, even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice.”  --5/5 stars! The Book Queen

 "Readers who enjoy the works of PC Cast and Stephenie Meyer will love this outstanding paranormal teen-lit thriller." –Midwest Book Review

"I found myself unwilling to put the book down, even though I had to at some points, because I wanted to know what was going to happen…Ever was so real and her emotions were so believable that it was a little creepy. It's like Alyson Noël is actually a grieving, lovestruck teenager. She got Ever completely perfect. And by perfect, I mean delightfully flawed and deep.” --The Frenetic Reader

"Evermore is a wonderful book that I believe would be a lovely addition to any library . . .Definitely a book that fans of Stephenie Meyer and Melissa Marr should add to their collections. Definitely engaging and will catch your attention the minute you open to the first page!" - Mind of a Bibliophile

 “Alyson Noël creates a great picture of each and every character in the book. I am a fan of the Twlight series and I recommend this book to those who like the series as well. It is a very quick read, with all the interesting twist and turns.” –Flamingnet Book Reviews

"I loved this book. It really keeps your attention though out the story, because the puzzle gets pieced together bit by bit, but you don't know exactly what happened until the end. The only thing that disappoints me is that the second book won't be published for a while. I would definitely recommend this to my friends." --Portsmouth Teen Book Review

"This is the first installment of The Immortals series. Ms. Noël pens a well-detailed story that makes it easy for the reader to visualize both the characters and the world around them. Evermore has a familiar theme that attracts readers, but inside this book you’ll find that the author has added some unique details that sets it apart." --Darque Reviews

 “Evermore’s suspense, eerie mystery, and strange magic were interestingly entertaining…I found Ever to be a character I could really respect…Recommended.” –The Bookworm

 “Evermore was a great way to lighten my reading load this winter and provided me with a creative, magical story that I really enjoyed. This is the first in a series for Noël and I think she may have a hit on her hands . . . Evermore has good and evil, likable characters, vivid descriptions and a good story.”- Planet Books

 “I fell into it easily, and loved the world Noël created . . . The fact that Ever had psychic powers was truly interesting. They flowed neatly through the book and I felt Ever's pain. .trust me, this book was really good. I couldn't put it down. Alyson Noël created an amazing new world, and after this book I am so curious to see where it heads because honestly, I have no idea.” – Reading Keeps You Sane

“Ever is an easy character to like. I really felt for her because of all she lost and what she struggled with daily…Evermore was a really fast, engaging read with some great characters. It is the first in a series, so I'm eager to see if we will learn more about Ever, Damen and friends in the next one…it's sure to be a great read.”- Ninja Reviews

 “The writing here is clear, the story well-defined and narrator Ever has an engaging voice that teens should enjoy."- January Magazine

"Alyson Noël created a well-detailed story that makes it easy for the reader to visualize both the characters and the world around them. Evermore has a familiar theme that attracts readers, but inside this book you’ll find that the author has added some unique details that sets it apart and will surprise you."- The Ravenous Reader

"This young adult novel ponders immortal love and the knowledge that "revenge weakens and love strengthens." Fans of the Twilight series should love it."- Orange Coast Magazine

Noel writes an emotional, thoughtful book that made me cry in a couple of places.  Evermore was an easy novel to get sucked into, and I wanted to get back to it as soon as possible.  If you love Stephanie Meyer, you will LOVE this book.” –Night Owl Romance

Evermore is a fresh and original work that…branches out and explores new ground.  Definitely recommended.” –Cool Moms Rule!

“I totally LOVE Alyson Noël’s Evermore…Noël has delivered a deliciously fresh new series that will be the next new thing that has every teen and even adults everywhere hooked and waiting for more…This is a keeper and a book that you have to go out and buy right now because if you don’t you will be missing out.  People will be asking if you have been living under a rock if you don’t give Evermore a try, and that is just not acceptable.” –Talk About My Favorite Authors



Product Description

Alyson’s Noël’s bestselling Immortals series has been hailed as “addictive” “beautiful” “haunting” and “mesmerizing.”  In the second installment, Ever can bring her family back from the dead—but only if she’s willing to sacrifice the guy she loves more than life itself.

 

     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...

3.0 out of 5 stars **Sigh**, July 8, 2009
By A. Jackson (Southern California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either. When I was finished reading the book I was left feeling empty handed. I felt that there could have been more romance or positives in Ever and Damen's relationship in this book since it took so much in the last book (not to mention the past six hundred years) for them to get where they are. But no this just went right back to the same struggles of them being torn apart and so on.... it also had so much going on at the end that it kind of built up to not much at all... I started skimming through the pages at the end just trying to get through it to get to the point, and then when I got there I felt disappointed to find the end result.
All and all if you enjoyed Evermore then I do suggest you read Blue Moon, however I do hope that the Author allows Ever and Damen to progress a little more in their current relationship in the next book instead of spending the entire book with them just trying to find a way to be together without actually allowing them be together at all... If that happens again I think I will become bored of the cycle and give up on the series?? But as of now I'm still a fan.

3.0 out of 5 stars Blue Moon: A disappointing sequel, July 14, 2009
I read Evermore about three weeks ago and was very excited when I learned Blue Moon, the sequel, was being released in early July of 2009. I liked Evermore, despite the obvious plot-related similarities it shared w/ Meyer's Twilight series. However, when compared to Twilight, I think it falls short of the Twilight standard. Having said that, Noel's Immortals series still has a lot of potential, so I am holding out hope that Shadowland's plot will surpass my mediocre expectations.

I gave Evermore 3.5 stars, but unfortunately, can only give Blue Moon 3 stars, awarding it simply because I found Noel's writing style very good.

Having noted the author's obvious talent, I feel this sequel left much to be desired in regard to the overall plot. Here's what I felt was missing:

The storyline was very short-sighted. Two-thirds of the book revolved around one major event - and the "problematic" event became very dull and blase after a while. I found myself speed reading just to finish the book, not really paying much attention to the minimal details, but more so trying to get to the underlying point of it all. Noel writes very well for the most part, but I felt too many sentences began with "And..." which became quite redundant.

Also, Ever's character was under-developed and important details surrounding her psychic abilities left the reader wondering how she managed to do a variety of things. On a handful of other occasions, Ever's thoughts just pop out, without warning, which was odd since the book is written from her perspective (It was written in first-person so the reader should have been privy to everything Ever was thinking). First-person writing is far more revealing - the reader is usually fully disclosed by the narrating character.

<SPOILER> For instance, Ever eventually tells Ava that she thinks Damen is being "poisoned" by way of his elixir of immortality. Was the reader supposed to come to the same conclusion, because Ever never had this thought prior to disclosing the info to Ava. Granted, she knew Roman was somehow involved but this was the first she revealed her true thoughts on how Roman was at fault. I found Ever's sudden disclosure rather odd and under-developed.

Also, much was left completely unanswered.

<SPOILER> The reader was left wondering how Ever managed to transport herself, or jump around at times, particularly after she chose to go back to her "former life" and then instantaneously ended back in the current one after seeing Riley in the backseat of her parents' car. It was a total contradiction to the time continuum that was previously implied; no explanation was given.

EVERYTHING revolved around three main characters - and the characters themselves were under-developed in my opinion. The book was just one constant dilemma, from beginning to end, no alternate and/or related events occurred simultaneously. The storyline was very one-dimensional for me throughout.

Finally, the biggest blunder of all, the one that sealed the deal for me and made me cringe and dislike several aspects of the book altogether, was the frustrating ending. The entire book read like a never-ending soap opera and it ended on the same depressing note!

<SPOILER> The entire book read like a soap opera, where as, the endless dilemmas were merely replaced by more dilemmas, all centering around the two main characters and their struggle to be together! Rather than create an entirely new scenario, possibly uniting the two characters in love, the author decides to continue the current struggle: that Ever & Damen simply cannot be together - at least not in the way they desire. One dilemma was replaced by yet another dilemma - all of which prove to be thorns in Ever & Damen's relationship!!! Books that end on a note of frustration don't end very well in my opinion - it leaves the reader very little to look forward to in a sequel. :(

Here's what would have made the story better for me:

<SPOILER> 1.) Had Damen come in and out of consciousness - had he fought Roman's control and revealed his true self to Ever from time-to-time, and not just in incremental glimpses, I would have enjoyed his character more. The reader realizes Roman was controlling Damen, as well as controlling the rest of the school; however, it just seemed odd that Roman could pull it all off so effortlessly. I thought Roman had too much control given Damen's immortality, not to mention the fact that Damen never saw Roman coming?! That was also odd. This was frustrating to me as a reader. Had Damen been somewhat aware of Roman's motives but struggling to resurface his true self in order to encourage Ever to keep seeking the solution, I would have found the dilemma more interesting. Damen just turned arrogant instantaneously, and that irritated me despite Roman's involvement. It also made the story less realistic, and didn't fully explain Ever's behavior.

<SPOILER> 2.) Riley just up & disappeared. I realize she "crossed over," but the only mention of her was on the brownie & then from Romy & Rayne. Yet, there were no other signs, and Riley was a pivotal character from the onset of the series. I think the story would have been better had Riley been more involved by leaving more written signs here and there.

<SPOILER> 3.) Ever fell for Roman's trickery in the end - despite all he did to her? It seemed odd - even under the urgent life-and-death circumstances - that she would choose to trust him after everything he had done and said.

<SPOILER> 4.) Ava up and disappeared? What? That was unexpected in a negative way - I wanted to see true friendship emerge, as well as trust and loyalty from a handful of characters, not betrayal and distance from everyone. Ava's actions were a huge disappointment. Seems like aside from Ever's deceased sister and a handful of acquaintances in Summerland, she has no one to rely on and trust. Ava's role could have been so much more invaluable and meaningful in the end - Riley could have sent a message through her, for example. I was sad Ava's character fell short of truly positive traits.

<SPOILER> 5.) Finally, I would have preferred a better ending to the first dilemma. I would have preferred that a new dilemma arise after Ever saves Damen, rather than a slightly different continuation of the old; the new dilemma was just another version of the first one: the inability to physically touch one another. A huge part of the enjoyment of the book is the obvious physical connection between the two of them, & now that this is the new dilemma, I actually kind of dread reading the sequel. I hope the problem is resolved early-on b/c I certainly don't want the next book to be all about resisting their physical attraction for one another!!! Not appealing at all. Surely, there is more substance ahead than this. We can only hope for the best, I suppose.

2.0 out of 5 stars I press my lips together..., August 13, 2009
****Some Spoilers****


Well, I think I liked Blue Moon better than Evermore, and that's only marginally. I thought Evermore was too much of a Twilight wannabe and to me, that's not a book you want to emulate (well maybe the books sales and movie deal but that's it). So I was hesitant to get Blue Moon, and then when it started in on all the, "Oh Damen is so perfect..." or "Damen is so beautiful..." I nearly tossed the book out of the window. But then the middle started getting interesting. I liked the parts about manifestations and having the power to bring forth whatever you desire. I believe in that, though not to the extent of instant manifestation, but I think Noel had some pretty deep stuff in there. It made the plot solid and this quest Ever was on more believable.

However...

It seemed to fall short at the end. I felt like the twist with the cure and Ever's blood preventing them from touching at all, was only to ensure a third book. The series could have ended nicely with this book and have them consummate their love and be done with it. I can pretty much tell that the main conflict in book 3 will be finding a way for Ever and Damen to be together in the physical sense.

One of my pet peeves with this book was some of the writing. I didn't think it was as bad as some have said, but I wonder if Noel did a simple ctrl + F to look for all of her repeat phrases. The number one repeated phrase that got on my nerves was "I press my lips together." Ever is constantly doing this and it's SO over done that it stands out like a sore thumb. I noticed it in the first book and thought somehow she would catch it in this one, but alas...it did not happen.

So I'm giving this 2 stars mainly because I thought the beginning was a bit annoying with all the over the top love and gooiness, the middle was good, and the end fell flat. If Amazon allowed, then I'd give it 2 and a half stars.
