Response to Evermore

         Welcome to the land of Evermore. Ever is a troubled teen whose family died in a tragic car accident when her father tried to swerve a deer and crashed into a tree. Ever's miraculous recovery brings her powers she'll never appreciate or admire; the power of telepathy, and seeing people's "auras".
         Ever dwells deep in her life of lies until along comes magical and mysterious Damen, who seems to be drawn to Ever, much to her confusion. Pretty soon her life takes a turn for the wacky.
         I loved this magical book because it explores the prospect of superhuman abilities-- and this book is not to be judged by its blurb. From the start I thought this was a simple Twilight spin-off, but I was sorely mistaken. So for all out there skeptical and reluctant, hear me now: don't doubt this book Ever again.
