Book Cover Revealed: Everlasting by Alyson Noel

OMG! I think this has to be my favorite bookcover in the Immortal Series. None of the others actually showed Damon, or who I hope to be him. :) While I wasn't thrilled at times with the way the books were going about I still loved the series as a whole, and will be sad to see the ending of the characters I've come to love and sometimes hate. I can only hope that Ever, Damon, Miles, and the rest of them get their happy EVER after.

Goodreads Synopsis:
Everlasting is the sixth and final installment of the epic love story that has enchanted readers across the world. Ever and Damen have spent centuries facing down bitter rivals, jealous friends and their own worst fears-all in the hope of being together forever. Now in Everlasting, their destiny is finally within reach.

Will they be united-or torn apart forever? Readers will finally discover the truth in this anxiously awaited conclusion.

Release date is June 7th, 2011 by St. Martins Griffin.

*SPOILERS POSSIBLY BELOW*

MY THOUGHTS:
I have very conflicting thoughts about this one actually. While I love the series, I'm not sure this was my absolute favorite. Sorry if any of this isn't very helpful. Hum?

A few things I liked about the book were that Haven actually got a bigger part in this one, granted I didn't like who she became in it. Still she had a major part. I guess in a way it's good to see characters develop differently, and not stay weak and the same throughout the series. Haven remained her own..yes, she was a bitch. She could have easily used the elixir for the better, and been a better person. This little twist is what made me like this book had it not been that way I'm not sure that I could have taken much more of Ever and Damen's weird-ass romance. I kind of wanted to just give up on them. I mean don't get me wrong I really do love the characters and stories, but after 4 books of it..well a little tiring.

I love how Miles stayed neutral to all the fighting between his two best friends, and when he learned of the secrets and was offered the same..he turned it down. Yea! Go Miles!

Then being able to see more of Ever's past lives with Damen, and learn some of the not so happy moments that Damen dilberately hid from her was another highlight of the book.

I was sad to see the way it ended not something I really wanted to happen, but what's done is done.

I'm ready, ready for the last book Everlasting to be out. :)

If you haven't read the series. I would recommend it. It's not vampire or werewolf related, but it's got the paranormal aspect down. Also has some good otherworlds in it. I love summerland (the magical realm) It actually has a darker part to it which I'm dying to know about. :)

I know this is short compared to some other reviews, but I couldn't think of much. :(


QUOTES:
-So are we good here? Did I pass? Can I collect my gold star now and go home? (Jude)
-It's like an infinite show set on permenant repeat, taunting me with all that I could've been, if only I'd chosen differently. If only I followed my heart instead of my head. (Ever)

Top Ten Tuesday #2 (Villians and evilness)

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This meme was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!
So this weeks list is the Evilies in books and what not.

I'm going to try and get 10,  but I might not make it.  Also,  some may be from the same Series. (You'll learn that I'm a VA Supporter all the way.)

In no particular order:

1. Queen of Hearts- Alice in Wonderland: She just gives me the creeps. Does that count?

2. Roman- The Immortal Series by Alyson Noel: He just pisses me off. I mean he seems like he would be okay at first but then he switches. He takes away the one thing that means everything to Ever. Then later he takes away something else. I mean seriously what's with hot guys being evil. :(

3. Victor Dashkov- VA series by Richelle Mead: Umm the whole trying to use Lissa and take over. I feel like I can't say too much about him without give away everything. Unless I already did. Whoops.

4. Strigoi- The dead mean Vampires in the Va Series: I don't think I need to say why l think their evil. They killed some good people, and/or turned them.

5. The Grinch- Who doesn't like Christmas?

6. Nefert- The high priestess in the HoN Series- She acts like she's a friend to Zoey in the first few books, but we know the truth. 

7.  Kalona- Fallen angel from HoN Series: He tries to get Zoey to go bad I guess you could say.

8.The Silver Bloods- Bad Vampires in the Blue Blood Series by Melissa De La Cruz: Do I have to explain on this one? They're vampires and they're evil. Enough said.


9. The Joker- I think he was my favorite villian in the batman movies. I use to have sheets with him on them. :)


10. Voldemort- I have to agree with them on this one. Although I thought about the Volturi, but I'm going to stick with the evil wizard who tried to kill our Harry.

What do you know I actually made it to ten. Yea me !
So What villians do you think make the list?
