Evermore (The Immortals, #1)
by Alyson Noel (Goodreads Author)
It looks like you’ve picked up the Evermore Drinking Game, for whichever reason (but if it’s because you have an interest in reading Evermore I strongly advise against it, for your sanity’s sake). However, if you’re still not convinced to stay the hell away from this book , the Evermore Drinking Game is here to make your reading experience as enjoyable as possible (because trust me, you won’t find anything enjoyable in this book without it).
The rules for the Evermore Drinking Game are simple: when you read any of the instances mentioned below when reading Evermore, you take a swig of anything. It could be alcohol (for the best results!); it could be water (sadly, with this option, you’ll still actually have some grasp of the story), coffee (but you’ll be as hyper as you’ve ever been before you reach the end of the game), or really any other beverage in your disposal.
Let’s begin the game, shall we? Once again, when you read any of the following instances, take a swig. And go!
- Whenever you roll your eyes, take a swig
- Whenever you feel like taking a hammer to Evermore, take a swig (and maybe that hammer)
Easy so far? Don’t worry – you won’t be saying that after long.
- Whenever Ever (heh) is a complete and total idiot, take a swig (yikes)
- Whenever someone uses a positive adjective when describing Damen, take a swig (preferably sexy, gorgeous, hot, smoking, or even combustible)
- Whenever someone says “omigod”, take a swig (omigod you’re in trouble!)
- Whenever Ever presses her lips, take a swig (good luck with that one, my friend)
- Whenever another talent Damen has is revealed, take a swig (but Damen will probably swig better than you)
- Whenever you find out something before Ever does, take a swig
- Whenever Ever throws herself a pity party, take a swig (ya know, her family used to like parties...)
- Whenever Ever dreams of Damen, take a swig
- Whenever Damen and Ever declare their undying love for each other, take a swig
- Whenever Riley is annoying, take a swig
- Whenever you find a Twilightrip off reference, take a swig (man, I’m harsh!)
- Whenever you feel the urge to run out the nearest window because you’re reading Evermore, takeCymbalta a swig
- When (or if) you finish Evermore, take a swig, because you, my friend, conquered this monstrosity
Congratulations! You’ve made it this far and finished the Evermore Drinking Game! (And if you haven’t that’s either because you’re too drunk to function and in intensive care, in the bathroom doing only god knows what, or dead.)
Well, wasn’t this game enjoyable!If one thing’s for certain, it was more enjoyable than Evermore.

I couldn't not buy it! The price, it was taunting me! I honestly don't think I'll like it, given the reviews, but I'm willing to give it a shot!

I might read it pretty soon, after I get a few more books out of the way. Thanks. :) I've got to admit, it's pretty intimidating when you say that you plan on reading a book and people come to console you.
Bahhhhahahahahaha. I wish you the best, dear. (:At our end-of-the-year book club party at school, this was one of the prizes we offered. We told them there was one prize they most certainly did not want, and I pity the fool who pulled it!
Kelly (Flaming Panda of Fury #1) wrote: "Oh dear.*cough* Good luck with that."
Haha! And Hush, Hush is $4.99, and House of Night is $2.99! It's like Amazon wants to torment me.

Hahaha! Let's hope I'll make it through!

But after you read this book I'm pretty sure it'll be clear why people came to support you :P
I'll make sure to follow your status updates..."
Yikes, that bad, huh? I've seen it labeled as "the worst book I've ever read" and I'm kinda scared.
Imagine what you could have BOUGHT with that! Coffee! *gasp* A cupcake!!! Or like 50 bazooka gums (does that still exist). Or GIVE IT TO THE POOR!! Don't you care about the hobos, Blythe!?
This review is brilliant and your status updates are amazing. I know, I know, I gave it 3 stars. But please forgive me because this was one of the first YA books I read after many years away and my tastes had not developed yet. I don't want to go back, cheat, and change my rating.
Thanks, Michelle and Kara! And I totally understand, Kara, sometimes I go back on my ratings and think, "I gave that ___ stars?"

YAL Book Briefs wrote: "The sad thing is I think this drinking game would be very adaptable to other books in the genre."I agree. I think it'd be applicable to, sadly, most of the books in this genre.

I bet Damen likes it better!!"
I bet he would! ;P
Amanda wrote: "Love the review ! I don't drink but if I did and played this game I would be. Hahaha ;0)"
Thanks! ;)
No! That game was NOT fun. I spent hours in the bathroom after. Then when I came out I decided to put that book out of its misery before anyone else read it. I regretted it after because I would love to watch someone else play that game.
*applauds*I might have to read the book just to play the drinking game that comes with it! I congratulate you on the function and intact-ness of your sanity!

Thank you, thank you. Oh stop applauding you're making me blush!

Hahaha! But think about it: was your little trip to the bathroom more enjoyable than reading this book? Hmmmm?
Yeah, but I have that OCD thing where I have to finish a series once I start it, and I just can't do that to my mind. Especially after the trainwreck that was Fated, dear heavens. Maybe someday, when I'm rich and old and retired and have tons of free time and money that has nothing to do but burn over these wasted trees.
I'm tempted to read it only because I seem to get some sort of ridiculous pleasure in reading bad YA books, plus my friend has talked up Evermore endlessly and I sort of like to tell her it sucks. Blythe, if your looking for more heinous YA books might I recommend Halo, Hush Hush, or Fallen (I haven't read this one, but I have heard horrible things about it). I'd be interested in reading any of your reviews on them just for the lolz.
I haven't read the other ones you mentioned, YAL, but I read Fallen and it wasn't as awful as I thought it would be. Although I think it's a love-it-or-hate-it sort of thing, though I was neither. Looking back on it, it was a little strange, but infinitely better than this series probably is, hahah.Halo, I look forward to reading, since I also got that for like, two bucks at the used bookstore. OTL.
I've heard horrible things about those books, too, and I do plan on eventually reading them this year (maybe even this summer). I got Fallen and Torment from the library a few months ago, but put Fallen down after reading a few pages. I'll get it from the library again eventually.
That's what I was planning on doing. I think Hush, Hush, Halo, and Fallen were of the four books in the lineup. I can't remember what the other one was. (But I know Evermore was one of them, so at least I got that out of the way.)

@Thalia, Halo is somewhat amusing by the fact it's blatantly written by a Twi-hard you'll see what I mean when you read it.
Blythe, have you read Wings by (someone) Pike? I've heard some ridiculous things about that one. Maybe it was the one you forgot.
Ooh ooh, don't forget about The Seven Rays. If you're looking for awful, you should definitely give that one a try.
Thalia wrote: "Ooh ooh, don't forget about The Seven Rays. If you're looking for awful, you should definitely give that one a try."What are you all doing to me?!
At least if you read that one, you'll get through it quickly. I finished it in about a day because I couldn't let it plague me any longer.An ending to end all other crappy endings, my friend. Brace yourself. Lucky T is another one.
"Why didn't you tell me I forgot to put on pants and you can see my Hello Kitty underwear?"
"I dunno, you were just so dern cute."
Here's some more bad book suggestions. There's the Magnolia League. I don't recommend this one really because of the infamous Slate article and I've have some personal issues with the author, but if you want heinous read it. Also, The Cinderella Society is pretty bad too. Sixty pages are spent on makeovers I kid you not.
Oh! lol, I do love your reviews! The funny thing is, even though this book looks truly awful, your review makes me want to read it a little, just so I get the jokes. *Feels left out in the cold* Brilliant! I guess there really is no such thing as bad press. ;)
