Ugh, I really want to love this series but omg I can't cause everyone is so stupid!!!! I mean I still love Jude even though the was really stupid at the end but really it is like dumb and dumber teen immortal love addition...hope the next one picks up.

OMG - This book is driving me bonkers! I have never had the urge to start a review 15 pages in, but I have to say, Haven is so beyond annoying, I cannot stand her - and this book is getting really hard to read!! Haven is an idiot and I do not know why Ever saved her. Okay, that sounded mean. But seriously, she comes across as a spoiled and snotty girl. I do not know if I will finish this because I don't want to "hear" her talk anymore. She says impetuous, ridiculous things. And Ever needs to learn to make a good decision once and stop trusting that Roman is telling the truth! I have always finished series' that I start. Always. But this dumb girl is making me not want to read anymore. I am reading Clockwork Angel (by Cassandra Clare) at the same time and the difference between the two is staggering -- at least I can LIKE the characters I am reading about.Please Allyson Noel - you are a good writer - please tell me why Ever cares about her in the first place!?!

Update: Okay, I finished. I was able to get through it. But I still see Haven as an ungrateful snot. I wish I could get past that!

La historia empieza muy bien en el primer libro y termina de una manera perfecta para ser autoconclusivo, pero para ser 5 libros más era un comienzo flojo y esperaba que mejorara a medida que avanzaba la saga. Creo que ya estoy en condiciones de decir que no lo hace. La trama es confusa, está muy enredada y la autora recurre a finales muy absurdos para las situaciones que plantea. Los personajes ya se tornan sosos y el romance pesado. Un verdadero bodrio. Hasta el tercero incluso hubiera sido pasable, pero éste libro ya se me tornó tedioso y muy difícil de terminar.

Omg this book took me forever to finish. I’m sorry but why just WHY?!!! Ever’s character is so infuriating and doesn’t seem to be showing any personal growth at all?! She keeps making the same stupid mistakes over and over again.

“Life is still life. It’s still tough, complicated, and more than a little messy, with lessons to be learned, mistakes to be made, triumphs and disappointments to be had, and not every day is meant to be a party.”

“That's what true love is. It cannot be broken, it cannot be chipped away, it's eternal, everlasting, and it can weather any storm.”

OMG! OMG! I LOVED IT!!! ...The last 50 pages were just awesome!! I totally Love Jude ;)

Haven and Miles you deserve a better best friend. That is what would make this book so much better. Why are YA single-narrator's not good friends to their best friends while lamenting how they are the best friends ever.


I want books on Damen's life. And now Roman's. But not Ever's. *pout*
