Blue Moon: The Immortals Review
I love reading books and finding new ones to get interested in. I read the first book a couple of weeks ago, and I thought it was an "okay" book. I did still want to continue reading the series, because I don't like leaving things unfinished. I enjoyed Blue Moon a great deal more than Evermore. The storyline was so much more captivating, and I stayed interested enough to finish the book within 24 hours. To me, a book that can keep me hooked enough to finish it in one sitting is pretty good. There are a few twists in this book that keeps you guessing as well. I love it when things are unpredictable, and this book accomplished this. I think if you were a little disappointed by the first book of the Immortals, then you should hang on and read Blue Moon. I think you will enjoy this one. I'm waiting on the third installment to come in the mail, and I am definitely looking forward to it!

Blue Moon: The Immortals Overview
Alyson’s Noël’s bestselling Immortals series has been hailed as “addictive” “beautiful” “haunting” and “mesmerizing.” In the second installment, Ever can bring her family back from the dead—but only if she’s willing to sacrifice the guy she loves more than life itself.
Just as Ever is learning everything she can about her new abilities as an immortal, initiated into the dark, seductive world by her beloved Damen, something terrible is happening to him. As Ever’s powers are increasing, Damen’s are fading—stricken by a mysterious illness that threatens his memory, his identity, his life.
Desperate to save him, Ever travels to the mystical dimension of Summerland, uncovering not only the secrets of Damen’s past—the brutal, tortured history he hoped to keep hidden—but also an ancient text revealing the workings of time. With the approaching blue moon heralding her only window for travel, Ever is forced to decide between turning back the clock and saving her family from the accident that claimed them—or staying in the present and saving Damen, who grows weaker each day...

Whine, whine, whine some more.. - Missy W - North Carolina, USA
At the start of the book, we learn that Ever is learning about her new powers from her Immortal boyfriend, Damen. Everything seems to be going perfectly for the couple until they see the new kid in school, Roman. Damen pays him no mind, but Ever is put off by him from the beginning. Then, things start changing. Suddenly, Damen starts acting weaker ... and altogether starts ignoring Ever. As a matter of fact, everyone seems to not like Ever at school anymore - even her friends Miles and Haven. Typical high school clique change, right? No, not necessarily. The school seems to be getting along fine and it seems as though the lines between cliques have been blurred. Everyone seems to be getting along, and agreeing on the fact that Ever is the only outcast in the school. Damen even goes as far as calling Ever a stalker and takes a sudden interest in the school's queen bee/ Ever's nemesis, Stacia. Ever's only ally during this time is Roman, the new kid who is constantly flirting with her. Ever knows something is wrong with Roman and somehow he's responsible for everything happening - but she has no proof and Damen seems to be slipping farther away from her. With the help of her psychic friend Ava, a few trips to Summerland and some intuition, Ever learns that all is not well and she doesn't have much time at all. And if she can't find a solution? Damen's immortal life may be at risk.
I mentioned on my Facebook that I literally stopped reading this a few times, which is why it took me a few extra days to do this review. There's just so many things that I can point out that make me want to scream, but I'll start with the good. Miles finally has some dimension! I know I mentioned in the first book that I was disappointed that the author didn't go anywhere with the token gay guy, but all is better. And there were definitely some spots in the book where it took unexpected twists, which was very refreshing. Having said that ... I feel as though Riley didn't get as much action time as she should have been given in this book. Yes, I know, she crossed over - but there were supposed to be signs everywhere for Ever! When you did get a sign and a scene, it was close to the end and just felt like an afterthought to me. The whole ordeal with Damen being weakened was a little sudden to me. I mean, it went from having a small problem with manifestation to a small bout of amnesia - to no amnesia and absolute disgust with Ever within a day. Oh, and you find out he's dying ... but there were never any signs that he was deteriorating. Instead, Damen's moments in the book were spent with threatening Ever and flirting shamelessly with Stacia. Yet, when the whole school seems to be acting the exact same to one another - Haven somehow manages to shine through by dressing like anyone that she likes at the moment. It was just so out of place. The plot seemed to be going in the same direction - which is Ever and Damen seem like they'll never get to actually enjoy being with one another - something always keeps them apart. And the worst part for me - Ever not following her instincts and her doing the exact opposite of what she should have done. To me, Ever just seems to be really immature, always acting irrationally. She never knows anything, but then out of the blue she has these genius ideas to save the world. With the negative out of the way, I can say that the read was light and flowed easily. Despite my complaints, I'm not going to stop reading the series because it does have that flair that keeps me coming back for more.
Fragments, fragments, fragments - Amaris Love -
***************SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!************
Let me start of this review by saying that I liked Blue Moon much more than Evermore. That's not really saying much, but still. Here's the sequence of events:
1. A guy named Roman moves to town.
2. He is bad
3. Ever thinks he's bad
4. Damen has no clue
5. Damen gets sick
6. Everyone in the school, including Damen, starts to make fun of Ever, except for Roman, who keeps trying to persuade Ever to go out with him (or something like that)
7. Ever meets the most awesomest people in the book: Romy and Rayne.
8. Ever doesn't trust Romy and Rayne, who are, of course, the good girls trying to help
9. Her lack of trust in the helpful twins, Romy and Rayne, results in her messing everything up
There you go. That was Blue Moon - or, well, that was just a brief overview. What really made me want to stop reading it, or skim through the whole book, was the fact that Ever doesn't do things like a normal person. She doesn't trust Romy and Rayne, the two coolest people in the whole book. She falls for Roman's trap. She cringes at everything. She rolls her eyes and presses her lips at everyone (or she tries not to), and she shrugs way too much.
It was disappointing, yet better than the first. There's some fragments that I had to reread because I didn't know how someone could let a fragment like the ones I saw slip. Ever's not the best protagonist. Noel does have some writing skills. I'll keep reading the series just to see what happens.
Good Book - MikesDork -
This is a good book. I was told it was similar to Twilight, I would disagree. It is a page turner that is for sure, I had to know what happened next. I am anxious for the 5th and 6th books to come out.
