Blue Moon by Alyson Noel

Goodreads 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.


My Take: I stopped reading this book halfway through. I had high hopes for this series and was very disappointed. I almost gave up on the first book because I felt I was reading about the same mysterious bad boy that is in just about EVERY young-adult paranormal romance book. ***YAWN*** I still decided to give the book a chance so I read on. I ended up thinking the book turned out OK so I decided to give the series a chance to get better.

There is not a single character in the book that I care for. I started liking Damen and was happy that Ever and Damen can finally be together after 400 years. Then Damen starts to get sick and then disappears on the night that they are supposed to be “together”, the night he has been waiting for in 4 centuries.

When he returns he gives her the cold shoulder, as a result she starts stalking him and goes on a journey to find out what is wrong. At this point I am extremely frustrated! So this is where I started skimming through the book to see if the book was going anywhere. I read through some spoiler reviews and now I am really bugged.

In the end she was tricked by another Immortal and they cannot mix DNA or it will kill Damen. OH PLEASE!!!!

I would have to be really bored to give these books another chance.
