This book/series is loved and hated by fans of this genre. I've read many mixed reviews. It's always interesting to find out how people experience a book 'cause it ends up so differently. Even though I was kind of sceptical to read this book I admit that I love to explore books,authors and genres. Find out what I like and don't. It doesn't hurt to try new things when it comes to reading.
My thoughts about this book is a little let down. The letters are very big and the writing style is easy to read, even a little childish. At least it was for me. The story is pretty typical: Parents/family dies in a horrible accident. The survivor gets ability he/she never had before. This mysterious guy starts at school and the main character falls in love with him/her. You know what I mean? I've read this kind of book many times before and I've read better books with the same plot as well.
Evermore is too thin when it comes to both story and characters. The story itself wasn't very fascinating either. It got too regular and it didn't offer any new to the genre. And after reading the book I didn't feel a thing. It didn't give me anything. The excitement was gone and I didn't really cared about the characters and while I was reading I was looking forward to read another book. Which is a bad sign. It was all in all boring. I probably won't continue reading this series. I think younger readers will like it better and newbies to this genre.
Highlights: Pretty cover and it seemed to be an interesting read.
Downhill: Even though I was sceptical, I did have high hopes but since the book responded to my hopes, it was a big let down.
