Okay so on the way home from Barnes & Noble today I opened this book called Evermore (which just seemed a little interesting) and began reading it. I only got to page 13 but already I am in love with it. If you like Twilight I suggest you check out this book, it's by Alyson Noel. Here is the back description:
The first book in Alyson Noel's extraordinary new Immortals series. Enter an enchanting new world, where true love never dies...
After a horrible accident claims the lives of her family, 16 year old Ever Bloom can see people's auras, hear their thoughts, and know someone's entire life story by touching them. Going out of her way to avoid human contact and suppress her abilities, she has been branded a freak at her new high school-but everything changes when she meets Damen Auguste . Damen is gorgeous, exotic, and wealthy. He's the only one who can silence the noise and random energy in her head--wielding a magic so intense, it's as though he can peer straight into her soul. As Ever is drawn deeper into his enticing world of secrets and mystery, she'd left with more questions than answers. And she has no idea just who he really is-or what he is. The only thing she knows to be true is that she's falling deeply and helplessly in love with him.
Okay, so I have to admit it sounds almost identical to Twilight, but there are some differences. For one it's not as much as a forbidden love. Also from only reading 13 pages I predict that Damen is some kind of immortal too. But it does have somethings that are obviously the same like both main leading ladies weren't searching for love they were just content with themselves. Also they fall in love fast and hard! 13 pages into this book Ever has already in her mind declared that she is in love with Damen. In Twilight though Stephanie Meyer gives a lot more sensory detail and it definitely helps with the emotion of the book. I think that Alyson Noel kinda stole the idea, but put her own twist on the story (okay some of you are going to say "But Stephanie Meyer stole the idea too!", well i don't think so, so get over it!) because I checked and the book was published just this year. The second book to this series is supposed to come out in August of 2009 and it's called Blue Moon. MMMM doesn't that sound a lot like the second book to another series? Stay posted to hear more of my critics on this book.
Amanda, I'm very happy to hear that you've found something to help with your Twilight withdrawl...
ReplyDeletelol I know its been quite hard!
ReplyDeleteIt must be a little annoying though..I think that naming her next book BLUE MOON is going to cause some problem especially since the base of Evermore is very similar to the Twilight series.
ReplyDeleteThat is really cheap. The author of Twilght should sue. I bet the last book will be breaking fawn or someting like that.
ReplyDeleteHaha I bet you next you will hear it all came from some inspiring dream
