  <default_description>Since a horrible accident claimed the lives of her family, sixteen-year-old Ever can see auras, hear people&#8217;s thoughts, and know a person&#8217;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&#8212; but everything changes when she meets Damen Auguste. Ever sees Damen and feels an instant recognition.&#160;He is gorgeous, exotic and wealthy, and he holds many secrets.&#160;Damen is able to make things appear and disappear, he always seems to know what she&#8217;s thinking&#8212; and he&#8217;s the only one who can silence the noise and the random energy in her head.&#160;She doesn&#8217;t know who he really is&#8212; or what he is.&#160; Damen is equal parts light and darkness, and he belongs to an enchanted new world where no one ever dies.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Eh, I don't really like this book. The story isn't very original or creative. The whole &quot;you are immune to my painfully annoying superpowers&quot; is really cliche and has been done way too many times before. The whole OMG-Damen's-so-hot-and-sexy thing is kind of stupid and superficial. Plus, N...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69412740">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I liked this series but I have to say that it's a bit like Twilight except for replace vampires with immortals. It was a good story with an intriguing plot and a good flow. I did feel frustrated with the hot/cold relationship between Ever and Damen. Also, there was a weird monologue at the end from ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44406996">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ever is a fascinating character -- consumed with guilt, desperately holding on to her little sister's memory, and psychic to boot. I was instantly drawn to her, and that should have helped this book get a higher rating. Unfortunately, many of the plot devices reminded me sharply L.J.

    <body><![CDATA[In many ways, this is the book that <em>Twilight</em> could have been, if someone else had written it. Not everything matches up -- nor should it.

    <body><![CDATA[This book was interesting, but did not really develop a thick plot. It took a long time for Ever (the main character) to really become one with what was going on.
