![]() ![]() ![]() Riddled with guilt and grief, Ever moves in with her aunt Sabine to a sprawling beach house in California. Distracted, her father hits a deer and the entire family is killed, although Ever is mysteriously brought back to life in the hospital. As the novel opens, Ever is whining about her sweatshirt as she is riding in the car with her parents and younger sister Riley. The protagonist is 16-year-old Ever Bloom. Readers and critics complain that Evermore relies entirely on clichés common to other young adult fantasy novels, features a relationship not based on consent or power balance at its center, and promotes potentially offensive stereotypes. The series follows the relationship between a teenager imbued with psychic powers and a 600-year-old immortal who pursues her across time. Published in 2009, Evermore is the first of a six-novel young adult series called Immortals by author Alyson Noel. ![]()
