Synopsis:
In this story, Ever is a new immortal that has to choose whether reversing back to the past and save her family from a terrifying crash, that killed them all, or save Damen her true love, who is dying slowly everyday...

While Ever and Damen continue to attend school as usual, Ever begins lessons with Damen to teach her to use her manifesting skills as a new Immortal. Then trouble begins when a new British boy named Roman transfers into their school, and the whole school immediately starts liking him, but Ever. Damen's immortal powers begin to weaken, and the he loses his ability to access Summerland, which is a mystical place between earthly dimension and the afterlife. Ever is then completely abandoned by her friends, Damen forgets his past with Ever, and the whole school is then against her.

So Ever goes to Ava, a psychic, to save Damen. And together they successfully enter Summerland, so Ever can get to the Great Halls of Learning to find out a solution to cure Damen. Two twins show up to help Ever along the way, and when Ever reaches to the Great Halls of Learning, she doesn’t get a straight answer, instead she gets a peek of Damen's past. Ever then finds out that Roman is responsible for everything. Ever then chooses her family, and she have no memory of anything that had happened, and then a truck hits her family again. Ever then returns back to Ava, and sees Roman there instead. Roman then persuades Ever to heal Damen his way, and Ever puts a drop of her blood into Damen's anecdote and gives it to him, as she watches how his skin turns back into his normal color but he is not yet awake. Roman then reveals that all was a trick, and because she added the blood into Damen's anecdote, Ever can never have physical contact with Damen, or he will die.

  • Reading this book reminded me of the movie Twilight: Ever and Damen, are very similar to Bella and Edward. They are very similar protagonists, because Damen is an immortal just like Edward.


To the classroom:
  • In order to make all the events in the book happen, each character in the book had a specific role to play. Drina kills Evers family, and that's how Damen finds Ever and makes her immortal, Roman poisoned Damen, Ava helps Ever go to Summerland, the twins help Ever find her way to the Great Hall of Learning, and so on...
If any one of them hadn't done their part, Damen would never meet Ever, and she would have died, and never be immortal, and Damen might of died as well.


To the home:
  • In the book, Ever could not tell her aunt Sabine, neither her friends, Miles and Haven, that she was an immortal and she needed help to save Damen from Roman. But she did tell Ava, a psychic, what she needed to know in order to help her save Damen.


To the community:
  • The book reminded me that there are groups of people in our own community, which they sometimes have to pick between life or death, fix their mistakes, and sometimes save their family in any way, and they at least try. 



To the World:
  • You can never change the past, but you can take a step forward and do better in the future. 



To me:
  • 
This book shows everyone, that when you make mistakes, there's always a way to fix it, and you always have to try.
