### Review

"Katie Schorr is familiar with these characters, and youthful exuberance shines through in her narration...her lively voice perfectly fits the fast pace of the story." - *AudioFile*

Praise for *Blue Moon*

"An enthralling, introspective fantasy adventure, highly recommend, even (or especially!) to those new to the Immortals series." – *Midwest Book Review* 

“Alyson Noel surpassed all my expectations.  Not only is *Blue Moon* an amazing sequel; it sets the bar for the rest of this series very, very high!  When I reached the last page of this one, all I could say was ‘wow!’”—*Teens Read Too*

“It is the mark of a daring writer to defy expectations and Alyson Noel does that to the power of ten in *Blue Moon*.” I guarantee you will have no idea what’s coming in the second book of the series while Alyson Noel surprises you with a big, fat twist and leaves you wanting more, more, more.” --*The Book Chick*

“A mesmerizing tale of teenage angst, love and sacrifice with plenty of crossover appeal…The startling but satisfying ending shows that Noël knows how to keep her audience hooked. Ever's supernatural struggles are a captivating metaphor for teenage fears about love, relationships and growing up.” –*Publishers Weekly *(Starred Review) *

“*Blue Moon* was incredible. If you thought *Evermore* was full of suspense and unknowns, just wait until you read *Blue Moon*. Noel surpassed all expectations…The plot was insane, and I mean that in a good way. Noel took this novel in a direction I was never expecting, resulting in an emotional roller coaster ride that I never wanted to end. It was so cleverly pieced, so intricately meshed, I never saw it coming. Fabulous.”* –The Story Siren*

“One of the best books I've read this year… With immortal lovers, trustworthy friends, betraying fortune tellers, and freaky identical twins, what more could you ask for? *Blue Moon*** **has me begging for *Shadowland*!  I can't wait for the next in the series.” –*The YA Book Blogger*

"The Immortals Series is so unique; it’s like a breath of fresh air…Noel knows how to pull you into her world with beautiful imagery and mesmerizing words. Blue Moon is a page turner that will keep you reading until the last page. Just when you think you have the plot figured out, Alyson throws in another twist making it impossible to put this book down.” –5 stars! *Fantastic Book Reviews*

“This heart-pounding sequel to *Evermore* is a must read!” --*Mind Of A Bibliophile*

Praise for *Evermore*

"Teen angst and the paranormal make a combustible mix…Getting hooked on this new series, *The Immortals*, is guaranteed."--4 stars!  *Romantic Times Magazine*

“*Evermore* will thrill many teen fantasy-suspense readers, especially fans of Stephenie Meyer’s *Twilight* series … Noël creates a cast of recognizably diverse teens in a realistic high-school setting, along with just the right tension to make Ever’s discovery of her own immortality—should she choose it—exciting and credible.”  --*Booklist*

“Beautiful main characters, tense budding romance, a dark secret, mysterious immortals—what more could you ask from this modern gothic romance?” –*Justine Magazine*

“When I got a copy of *Evermore*, I sat down to read it, intending to only read a chapter or two. Instead, I blazed through the first hundred pages before I knew it…and then I didn’t want to put the book down. Except I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer. So I picked it up the next morning and finished it. Now I can’t wait till July for the second book to see what happens next.” –*Blog Critics Magazine*

“Get ready for a wild ride that is filled with twisting paths and mystery, love and fantasy. . . The writing style, story, and characters are a bit like Meyer and Marr's popular books, but written with a new twist and voice. And after reading the book, you too will probably want your own Damen, even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice.”  --5/5 stars! *The Book Queen*

"Readers who enjoy the works of PC Cast and Stephenie Meyer will love this outstanding paranormal teen-lit thriller." –*Midwest** Book Review*

"I found myself unwilling to put the book down, even though I had to at some points, because I wanted to know what was going to happen…Ever was so real and her emotions were so believable that it was a little creepy. It's like Alyson Noël is actually a grieving, lovestruck teenager. She got Ever completely perfect. And by perfect, I mean delightfully flawed and deep.” --*The Frenetic Reader*


"*Evermore* is a wonderful book that I believe would be a lovely addition to any library . . .Definitely a book that fans of Stephenie Meyer and Melissa Marr should add to their collections. Definitely engaging and will catch your attention the minute you open to the first page!" - *Mind of a Bibliophile*

“Alyson Noël creates a great picture of each and every character in the book. I am a fan of the *Twlight* series and I recommend this book to those who like the series as well. It is a very quick read, with all the interesting twist and turns.” –*Flamingnet Book Reviews*

"I loved this book. It really keeps your attention though out the story, because the puzzle gets pieced together bit by bit, but you don't know exactly what happened until the end. The only thing that disappoints me is that the second book won't be published for a while. I would definitely recommend this to my friends." --*Portsmouth** Teen Book Review*


"This is the first installment of *The Immortals* series. Ms. Noël pens a well-detailed story that makes it easy for the reader to visualize both the characters and the world around them. *Evermore* has a familiar theme that attracts readers, but inside this book you’ll find that the author has added some unique details that sets it apart." --*Darque Reviews*

“*Evermore*’s suspense, eerie mystery, and strange magic were interestingly entertaining…I found Ever to be a character I could really respect…Recommended.” –*The Bookworm*

“*Evermore* was a great way to lighten my reading load this winter and provided me with a creative, magical story that I really enjoyed. This is the first in a series for Noël and I think she may have a hit on her hands . . . *Evermore* has good and evil, likable characters, vivid descriptions and a good story.”- *Planet Books*

“I fell into it easily, and loved the world Noël created . . . The fact that Ever had psychic powers was truly interesting. They flowed neatly through the book and I felt Ever's pain. .trust me, this book was really good. I couldn't put it down. Alyson Noël created an amazing new world, and after this book I am so curious to see where it heads because honestly, I have no idea.” – *Reading** Keeps You Sane*


“Ever is an easy character to like. I really felt for her because of all she lost and what she struggled with daily…*Evermore* was a really fast, engaging read with some great characters. It is the first in a series, so I'm eager to see if we will learn more about Ever, Damen and friends in the next one…it's sure to be a great read.”- *Ninja Reviews*
