Blue Moon -- a review by Aspen Gates



Blue Moon

By Alyson Noel

** stars

Blue Moon is the second book in the Immortal Series with Evermore as the first. For those of you have not read Evermore, it is about this teenage girl named Ever who is the only survivor of a car crash that killed her family and dog. However, when Ever wakes up in the hospital, she can't remember anything except looking into someone's eyes before she passed out. Now Ever has moved to sunny California with her aunt and started a new life for herself making new friends, or has she? After the crash Ever can see peoples auras and see their life flash before her eyes by a single touch. So to avoid such things she remains to herself and is there regarded as the school freak. All that changes when she meets hot and sexy looking Damen who seems to be the only person she can't read. Ever falls in love with him, but things head down hill when she discovers he is an immortal and had something to do with her family's accident and bringing her back to life. He made her an immortal. Now, in Blue Moon Ever has accepted who she is, and as an immortal she is quite eager to learn everything she can about her new abilities. Except there is one problem, Damen seems to be losing his abilities while Ever is gaining hers. Now Ever must find a solution quick before she loses the love of her life, but when she discovers the answer another opportunity arises, the chance to be with her family again. Will she choose her family, or the love of her life?

I gave this novel two stars because it was so predictable. I mean right away I had a pretty good idea how the book was going to end and that just made me not want to read it anymore although I did. Don't get me wrong there were some eye catching spots, but all together, it felt like a waste of paper. Hopefully Alyson Noel's third book in this series, Shadowland, will be much better and save Blue Moon and Evermore from being one of the worst series I have read.
