'Evermore' Book Review


So, I read this a bit ago. Not too long, but I've been procrastinating. So, here is the Evermore book review. I will say this, unless I get desperate I will not be reading the rest of this series. 

I will not be spoiler-censoring this one. It not worth it to me, so if you do do want to spoiled, don't read on. Though this was such a predictable book, I seriously doubt that you could be actually spoiled. You'd have already seen it coming when you read book. But, if you don't want to be 'spoiled' don't read on.

Let's start with Ever. She was a whiny little girl with no concept of anything outside of her own arse. Drinking yourself into a coma is no good way to cope, I don't care if it makes your powers go away, we all know it was just because Ever wanted to wallow when Damon left her. She is a horrible example to girls in our century. I don't know about you, but if my little sister died, I would be thankful for every visit she gave me, not annoyed by her! She is ungrateful, ignorant, and ridiculous, and I hated her. 

I did not like Damon much better. Maybe less. Oh, he is perfect! He is gorgeous! He is rich! He is combustible! (Come ON, Haven! Really?) No, he isn't! He an arrogant, self-serving, pretty-boy. He was constantly lying to Ever, and then he left and ignored her, he was constantly putting her in danger! I was constantly annoyed by Damon, and the best part of the book was when Ever actually had to fight Drina herself! Not that that lasted for long. 

HAVEN. Oh, God. I am a Goth myself, we'll start with that. I found Haven personally offensive. Ms. Noel, think before you write! Alyson needs to learn that she can offend people with what she writes, like Haven and Miles were offensive to Goths and gays, and Ever's lack of care hat her family was gone. Ms. Noel wrote Haven so that it seemed that Goths are attention-seeking and shallow. This was character where I was more mad at the author than the character herself. Either way, a horrible portrayal. 

Miles, I hated, too. Not because I am prejudiced against gays, which I am not, but for the opposite reason. I feel like it was a horrible portrayal of gays. (Is 'gay' even socially acceptable anymore?) Alyson Noel made gays seem like sluts; Miles had a new boyfriend literally every other week! It was ridiculous, offensive, and it did NOT make me like Ms. Noel anymore more. (I've already read her Riley Bloom series, which was a waste of my life.)

Drina: NO. Enough said.

The setting was...just...guys. You spent the night in a freaking CAVE and no one noticed? I'm calling unethical BS on this author. How about this: we'll ditch the set format for this review, and I'll tell you all about unethical, crappy writing of Alyson Noel. Sound good? Okay, kids, settle in. Lynnie's gonna fill you in. 

I'll say it again! I AM CALLING UNETHICAL, OFFENSIVE BS ON THIS AUTHOR! 

NO school, I mean NO school would let a child have her hood up, sunglasses on, and ear buds in while in class of the hallways! This was ridiculous to the point of laughable! Was this kind of crap ever allowed, or did Noel just make this up? Did she forget how public schooling works???

Miles and Haven for offensive BS, as covered above! STOP WRITING ABOUT CRAP YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT! It was really things like this that pissed me off, because I am a Goth, and we are not needy and attention-seeking like she made us out to be! This writer is offensive, and I do not know why she continues to get published. 

Ever's powers! Guys, speaking from personal experience, this was a disgrace. Physic powers do not work like that, and I would bet my buttons that Noel did NO research on this topic, because even if you just scrape the surface of the physic community, you would no that Ever's powers are all wrong! Ever's powers were whatever they wanted to be when they were convenient. Some powers were mentioned one time, and NEVER BROUGHT UP AGAIN. Some were introduced half-way through the novel, and Ever told us she had always had them. Really, Noel? You think we're stupid enough to buy that she just forgot to tell us about that power? Or this power, or that power? OFFENSIVE BS, right there ladies and gentlemen. 

The plot did not start until like, half-way through the book. Guys, please, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. It is a waste of time, and a pointless collection of useful money. 

No one can be as perfect as Damon claimed to be. He paints better than Picasso? Are you kidding me? BS! Oh my God, he got on my nerves so much, I literally had to put the book down so I wouldn't start screaming in the middle of class. Yeah, Noel, I'm sure he does. God

I recommend this book for no one. No one should be subjected to this torture. Ever was self-absorbed and bratty, Damon was arrogant, Miles and Haven were stereotypical and offensive, Drina was a...yeah. NO. Zero stars for this novel.
