Everlasting

The book Everlasting is the final book of the Immortal series. This book is where everything ends. Ever and Damen finally get the antidote to the spell Damen was under and can touch again. Ever finds out if she loves Damen or Jude. At the end of this story Ever chooses between the two, and after all the past lives she has spent with Jude, Ever still picks Damen. Damen and Ever can finally be together, forever.
This book is really good. I kinda miss that the series is over, but i loved it so much. This book is for Young Adults or teenagers. ( )

Everlasting was such an awesome book! It was also completely not what I was expecting. This series just kept getting better and better as it went along which isn't usually the case. Ever's journey from the beginning first book until the end of the last one was amazing! I really liked how you're right there with her as she learns from her mistakes. She's a completely different person now than she was and understandably so because of all she's been through.

The only thing that really bothered me about this one was Damen's attitude toward the end of the book. But I guess I get why the author did it the way she did. Anyway, I really ended up enjoying this young adult paranormal series!! ( )

Obviously I read this book because I read the other five, and just like the last three I wasn't overly impressed. Evermore and Blue Moon were both really good books and I found the series got a little boring after that. It seemed the same ideas were played out in a slightly different manner. This was no exception.
First Damen and Ever have never irritated me as greatly as they did in this book. Damen has always been stubborn and quick to blame himself for all their problems but it was kind of endearing, not true in Everlasting, he was stubborn to the point of blatant stupidity. So why, when he's given a chance at redemption does it take him so damn long to utilize it. The whole book he refuses see things in a different light and it drives me absolutely nuts. HELLO Damen, get with the program, You. Are. Wrong!
Ever just talks too much, you're waiting for details about the current situation to unfold, for her to shed some light on what's going on, and she rambles. Saying the same things over and over until you're about to shut the book and give up...Then and only then does she say something worth reading. Overall I think Damen and Ever strayed out of character so the story could be told a certain way, rather than it being their story it seemed forced.
In my opinion this series would have served better to be done in three, maybe four books, if you just couldn't compress the ideas and storyline, but I'm pretty confidant that you could. The series would have stayed exciting, upbeat and earned a much better review.
The book gets three stars because it's closure and I liked the very end of it. 3 out of 5.
P.S. Despite my not really enjoying this last installment I'll still miss Ever and Damen. ( )

In Short
- Everlasting rounds off the series and answers all unanswered questions perfectly
- Ever is a new Ever in this book who uses her brain when making choices
- The romance is as cute as always (Very cute!)
- This is my favourite in the series
- I am sad that this series is over =(

In Long
I have to admit The Immortals is a series which I have had a strong love and hate relationship with. If you look back at my reviews of this series it has made me feel happy, angry, gripped, bored, entertained and many more things! I was hoping that Everlasting would round the series off nicely while also not making me feel anything negative. It really did that, for many reasons.

First off, Alyson’s writing has improved so much since Evermore. Every sentence seems to really have a meaning whereas I often felt that sentences were just there and didn’t add much to the story. I also really felt like she has listened to the fans in a way which really made a difference while also keeping her unique writing style. I know a lot of people say the books were frustrating because Ever did silly things which someone smart like her wouldn’t. Ever’s actions in Everlasting were nothing like they used to be and even when she did make a silly choice her decision was almost explained to the reader. I liked that Alyson made it a lot easier to see things from Ever's point of view therefore understand her decisions.
Ever is a character that I quickly warmed to all over again but even more so in this book, it’s like the Ever who made silly mistakes never happened! She became someone who was very likeable while also down to earth. Alyson also revealed a lot of things which made me understand Ever a lot more. The romance in this book was one which you are quickly made to believe all over again and I felt everything felt so much more real.
I liked the twists throughout this book and really felt like everything in the past books was rounded up really nicely in Everlasting. I wasn’t left with any questions but only with a sad feeling that it was the end of the series!

Final Thoughts
At times I was close to giving up on this series but I am glad I didn’t, I am sad that this series is finished and that I won’t get to spend any more time with Ever or Damen. Both Alyson and Ever redeemed themselves in this book in so many ways. It definitely made me want to read more books by Alyson in the future and had put my faith back in her. ( )

full review and casting couch on talksupe.blogspot.com

the entire series is under rated. Ever is a strong heroine but I think what turned people off was the excessive focus on the spiritual plane. That can be a mouthful if you're not really into that. As for the story, I think this is Ever's journey first before it's a love story. I like that Ever has her own mind, though I'd like to leap in the pages and whack her stubborn head sometimes but at the same time she owns her actions and doesn't run away from being held accountable for it. I just wish Damen would've been a stronger character, he was just like Ever's guardian throughout the whole thing and just faded into the background and went into Zen mode after Roman poisoned him ( )
