That is up until a new student, Roman, joins Ever's high school. This flashy bloke from across the pond seems intent on winning everyone in the school, including Ever, but she has a strong dislike of him from the beginning. So while her friends, and even her beloved Damen, begin to drift away from her, Ever wonders what it is about Roman, besides stealing her friends, that makes her not like him so. However, this is not her worst problem. Damen is suddenly getting sick; something immortals never do.
Ever travels to travel to the mystical realm of Summerland, where she may learns of Damen's past as well the secrets to passages through time. With this information, Ever is faced with making a choice between going back and saving her family or staying and saving Damen.
Alyson Noel's BLUE MOON is the second book in her Immortals series of which she plans there to be a total of five books. Her characters are well drafted, giving Ever a lot of the aspects that almost every sixteen year old girl would want, yet still leaving major obstacles around each of those aspects as well, grounding them in reality. I do recommend reading EVERMORE, the first of the Immortals series, in order for the reader to get a better picture of who the characters are.
Book Summary
Eager to learn everything she can about her new
abilities as an Immortal, Ever turns to her beloved Damen to
show her the way. But just as her powers are increasing,
Damen’s are waning.
In an attempt to save him,
Ever travels to the magical dimension of Summerland, where
she learns the secrets of Damen’s tortured past; a past
which he has always kept hidden from her. But in her quest
to cure Damen, Ever discovers an ancient text that details
the workings of time. Now Ever must chose between turning
back the past and saving her family from the accident that
claimed their lives—or staying in the present and saving
Damen, who grows sicker every day...
