It's official...I love Ever and Damen just as much I love Bella and Edward.

Seriously, folks...give the Immortals series a chance. You will not be disappointed.

***UPDATE***

I have since tried to read another installment, and have found there is really no comparison to Bella and Edward. I love B & E far too much and no other characters from other series can hold a candle.

Blue Moon is the second installment to The Immortals series. I have to say, the similarities to Twilight are striking, and Summerland reminded me of The Realms from The Gemma Doyle Trilogy. With that said, I still enjoyed the book a great deal, for Damen, if nothing else. Actually, Damen is the only reason I like this series, how sad. All in all, the love story is a bit hokey, but the concept is a good one. It’s more than a little grating that Ever’s stupidity has prolonged her joining Damen, ye...more

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 I had for the sequel, if this is a preview to how the rest of the series will be, we all in for a huge treat.

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 n...more

It's Official, I hate Ever. The story is just… lame, I found Ever more annoying than ever. She's an inconsistent character, doing one irrational thing after the other, and yeah, sometimes characters do that, but Ever's actions were contradictory. Like, when she finally thinks its okay to go all the way with Damen after a million lifetimes. Seriously?? The girl doesn’t have enough of a brain to make the right decisions and not to trust the most obvious bad guy in the world, but she’s smart enough...more

Ever one-ups herself in this one, proving to be the dumbest fictional character of all time.

How anyone can read this and walk away happy is beyond me. Seriously, the girl is dumb, the plot limp, the characters even more haphazard than they were the first time around. It's the literary equivalent of smacking your head into a brick wall over and over again. Although, I think that would ultimately be more enjoyable and less damaging.

But I was curious. I really wanted to know what could possibly be in the sequel to Evermore. So, well, here we are.
I won't rant about the problems it shares with its predecessor; I expected those, in all of their copious glory. (Though I was a bit surprised to find that Buttercup is still, apparently, a hermaphrodite, having been called both a "he" and a "she," once again on the same freaking page.) And, really, it didn't have any problems that the first book didn't. In fact, the protagonist (and thus the narration) is, I'm going to say, less annoying, less inconsistent, and less of a sloppy mess. So, that's a plus. She's still pretty insufferable, though. So is Damen, just like before, but - here's another plus - he gets much less screen time and dialogue in this book. Score!
The plot is about as non-existant/full of holes/terrible as it was in the first book. However, Drina, our (inadvertently) comically inept villain (with a much too convoluted plan) from the first book has been replaced with Roman, our (inadvertently) comically inept villain (with a much to convoluted plan) from this book. But, hey, he didn't get killed with the power of love. Double score! Also, he, like, half managed to succeed. And by that, if I have interpreted the book correctly, I mean, "totally succeeded." Maybe this would lead to a triple score, as I really don't like the protagonists of this series and would enjoy watching someone completely out-smart them, except that he took a whole freaking book to accomplish what I - even without omnipotent powers that "immortal juice" apparently gives you sometimes - could have accomplished in like, an hour, provided I already had the plot devices of alchemy stuff (which the protagonist pretty much got simply by asking some random lady) a syringe, and a large frying pan for beating both the protagonist and her love interest over the heads until unconscious. And you know, I could probably replace the syringe with a very sharp toothpick, and the frying pan with a sock, because I am sure both Ever and Damen have very soft and therefore sensitive skulls.
So, this book is actually slightly better than the first one. But it's still pretty bad. When reading it, to keep yourself from falling asleep, I would recommend reading all of Roman's dialogue out loud in an amazingly fake British/Cockney accent. This can be disappointing as Roman isn't really in all that much of the book, but it certainly does pay off in the end, possibly giving me enough giggles to justify checking this book out from the library.(less)

Another wishy-washy edition of The Immortals.
The first one was forgettable. The second one is slightly less so. The series is slowly finding its own stride, but it continues to graze the surface when it should be taking the plunge. The most, if not the only, powerful moment in the book was the encounter between Ever and Damen the Monday morning after he left her stranded. I may have even experienced a tiny hitch in my breath.

The writing is simple and very well paced. I had a hard time putting this book down.

I did have a little gripe with this book, What happened to Ever? I was a big fan of hers until now. Not to give anything away but the ending came out of nowhere. Ever starts out not trusting Roman, even though everyone has fallen for him. She has strong feelings of distrust for him and follows her gut by keeping her distance. She is outwardly rude to him through out the entire story. Then comes the end ... she do...more

This is an improvement over book one, I think. Sure, Roman is a transparent villain. And, sure, Damien becomes a major (insert any series of bad words here). I actually felt a little sorry for Ever -- when she wasn't being a complete idiot, that is, which was rare.

But the ending . . . the ending just baffled me. I wanted to shake Ever and go, "Are you insane?!"

Maybe I'm starting to care after all.

Now it is important to read these books in order, otherwise you will be completely lost in this second book. Although really, while the first one was mildly entertaining, I'd have to say this one was a bore for me, so it's a read at your own risk type of book.

Ever is happily enjoying life with Damen, learning to be an immortal. But then Damen starts behaving mysteriously, and she thinks it is linked to the new kid at their school, Roman. But she's not sure how to prove it, and as Damen slips further and further away from her, she knows she has to visit the Summerlands in order to save Damen. But even there, she's unsure of whether or not she'll find the answers she needs.

Ever goes from somewhat likable character to bumbling idiot in this book. Her reactions to things and the ways she makes decisions just don't make sense. She goes against all possible logic. Damen isn't really in this book that much so at least I didn't have to watch him try to save Ever from herself. Because that irritates me nearly as much as Ever acting on her own. Thankfully her aunt Sabine is still level-headed and caring, and at this point my favorite character in the book. Even her friends go more into obscurity in this book than they did in the first book. They could have not been mentioned and it probably wouldn't have even mattered in the plot line. And Roman, the antagonist of this book, could have really used some more mystery. When you know he's the bad guy from the first paragraph he's in it makes the book less interesting.

In the Immortals universe I do like how Noel includes alchemy and astrology and other mythic elements. It's clear she's given a little thought to her fantasy world and tried to develop it. But when you get to the actual plot of the book it just doesn't work in this one. Everything is so rushed and hurried that it's hard to make sense of what Ever is actually doing and some of the things she does do seems to be un-needed and plot filler. We go from her deciding whether or not she'd like to sleep with Damen to needing to save him in only a few pages time and it's not a smooth transition. This book might have had a shot if the plot was more developed and the bad guys not so predictable.

I've got the third book so I will be continuing on in this series. And even though I did find the first book entertaining this one has certainly put me off of the series. I can only hope that is redeemed in the next book, Shadowland.
