From Goodreads:
Since a horrible accident claimed the lives of her family, sixteen-year-old Ever can see auras, hear people’s thoughts, and know a person’s life story by touch. Going out of her way to shield herself from human contact to suppress her abilities has branded her as a freak at her new high school—but everything changes when she meets Damen Auguste…

Ever sees Damen and feels an instant recognition. He is gorgeous, exotic and wealthy, and he holds many secrets. Damen is able to make things appear and disappear, he always seems to know what she’s thinking—and he’s the only one who can silence the noise and the random energy in her head. She doesn’t know who he really is—or what he is. Damen equal parts light and darkness, and he belongs to an enchanted new world where no one ever dies.

The Story:
It´s about this teenage girl called Ever, who lives with her aunt. After both her parents, her sister and her dog died in a car accident. Where she was the only surviver.

But after the accident thing started to change. Before she was a popular cheerleader girl at her school. But know she is hiding away under her big hooded sweater.
Ever has got the ability to read other peoples aura, which make her capable to understand what people are thinking, by just looking at them. So mostly she just hide away and don´t look at people. Until one day when a new guy arrives at her school.
The weird thing is does not have an aura. So what is he or are there something wrong with Ever. Or is this boy actually dead.?
Since the only person Ever have meet who does not have an aura, is the ghost of her little sister. So what is going on?? And why do Ever even see the ghost of her sister.

My Opinion:
I had really big expectations for this book. So it didn´t really measure up.
I think it was to boring in the beginning. Not much happened. So I had to force myself to continue reading. I think there were one time in the book were I was like.. Wow whats happening I need to continue reading. And it only lasted for about 20-30 pages. And thats just not good enough for me.. I really wanted to like this book, since I have heard only amazing words about it.

The story is just to ordinary and to long, without anything special happening. Sorry.

My Conclusion:
I have only given this book a 2 out of 6 stars. I am really sorry. As I said I really wanted to love this book. But it just didn´t measure with my expectations.

But I must admit. I think maybe this book would be really good for young teenage girls in the age of 12-15, who wants to explore the new world of Fantasy. I think it might be a good debut to the fantasy world.
