Finishing this novel reminds me of The Twilight Saga. This new novel was almost identical in content and character with Stephanie Meyer's novels but actually they differed pretty much. I found Twilight Saga has more mature and beautiful language than the latter. The characters also are more complicated and well-developed. The most basic difference is free sex is not endorsed in the first while in latter, the characters seem chasing how to get sex before marriage...that's why I like the Twilight Saga better.
Ever, was a teenage girl who lost all her families on one sad accident. She was the only survivor. She had to stay with Sabine, her Father's twin, as her only relative. Eversince the accident, she got strange power of able to read mind-the past-the present-and the future-, hear the thoughts by simple touching the object. Every touch made her suffer for she had to see things about the life of that person she did not want to see. Every person had an aura (this reminds me of the Nicholas Flamel stories of The Alchemist) that was traslucent and reflected their mood. Ever could not yet control her power that any contact to others inflict a tremendous suffering for her to hear, to see, and to feel. She concealed herself in a hoodie and IPod. Her classmates called her a freak. The only friends she could get along was Haven and Miles who were searching for self-identity just like herself. The srangest part was her dead little sister, Riley, would always pop in whenever she needed her.
Her life was in total seclusion until a mysterious man enrolled into her class and sat next to her. Next to him, all the sounds and auras died away and her head was no longer in total pain. The only voice she could hear was his voice. Around him, she felt normal again as his presence muted all the noises and auras she did not want. Damen was a total mystery man who mastered all science and art. Her new life began to feel normal when this gorgeous myterious man become her boyfriend. Stacia Miller and Honor and the rest of her classmates were crazy about this new guy. Yet, Damen had no interest to to all but the freak in a hoodie and I-Pod.
Her normal life seemed perfect until a strange mysterious beutiful woman appearing in their life. Drina always showed up when Damen was. Worst, she lured Haven into a cult of immortal chasing. The contanst disapearance and the almost perfect life of Damen heightened her curiousity to find out the truth about her boyfriend. With the help of Riley, she uncovered the truth that shocked her...Damen was an immortal. He was not a vampire like she thought him to be but he got immortality by inventing immortality through alchemy (just like Nicholas Flamel). Drina was the first immortal he created for his wife. Ever had come to their life ever and ever again before Drinal always killed her.
Now, Ever had to face her immortal enemy who kept chasing her ever and ever again upon her reincarnation, Drina or Poverina, who determined to get Damen's love back. Without Damen, Ever had learnt from her that the accident that claimed her family lifes was the result of Drina's trickery to get rid of her. As Ever was about to give in to die, this new knowledge generated a surging power for her to stay alive to avenge her family.
Ever had two choice, becoming immortal like Damen and be with him for the rest of their immortality, or becoming human again.
This novel is not quite amusing as I thought to be but it's a good reading though. Another series of this novel will soon follow. And i think there will be many immortals like Damen coz in this first series, there's a hint that there are others like Damen.
