Evermore

Evermore

" . . .Evermore's vernacular voice and amorous fixation will gratify romance
fans. . ."

"Teen angst and the paranormal make a combustible mix as Noël utilizes typical themes and gives them a dangerous and eerie twist. Getting hooked on this new series, The Immortals, is guaranteed."
   —4 STARS, Romantic Times Magazine

"...will thrill many teen fantasy-suspense readers, especially fans of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series...just the right tension to make Ever's discovery of her own immortality—should she choose it—exciting and credible."
   —Booklist

"Evermore is addictive. When I wasn't reading, I was thinking about how I could sneak away to read some more. I couldn't put it down. I dreamt about this book. And when I finished, I couldn't get it out of my head. This book was simply breathtaking."
   —5 STAR GOLD AWARD, Teens Read Too

"Beautiful main characters, tense budding romance, a dark secret, mysterious immortals—what more could you ask for from this modern day gothic romance?"

"...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. Also, I'm kind of smitten with Damen... Love him."
   —The Frenetic Reader

"Evermore is one of those books that is simply hypnotizing. I picked it up and couldn't put it down... has so much more to give than just your average story. It has mystery, love, and intrigue... Ever is a great protagonist and never bored or irritated me. Alyson Noël is one of my all time favorite authors and she doesn't disappoint this time. The ending is also nice to where you can wait for the next book (out later '09—titled Blue Moon) and not feel like you're going to pull your hair out. I have complete faith in Alyson Noël to take this series to where it should go and not disappoint."
   —Writers Block Reviews

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

"This young adult novel ponders immortal love and the knowledge that "revenge weakens and love strengthens." Fans of the TWILIGHT series should love it."
   —Orange Coast magazine

"Ms. Noël writes an emotional, thoughtful book about loss as well as falling in love...The writing was well done and the plot intriguing. Ever's friends are well fleshed out and unique without being caricatures. This would make a great movie (hint, hint). I am thrilled that this is the start of a new series and Blue Moon will be out in August! If you love Stephanie Meyer you will LOVE this book."
   —Night Owl Romance

" ...In this first installment of her Immortals series, Alyson Noël snags a hold of readers' attention with her amazing ability to build suspense and curiosity... Noël has also created a very likable and empathetic heroine in Ever, with wonderful descriptive narration on what she's feeling, seeing and experiencing... Eager fans won't have to wait too long for the next book in the series, as Blue Moon is due out in July."
   —TeenReads


Blue Moon

Evermore

"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."
   —Starred review, Publishers Weekly

"...Blue Moon is a fantastic sequel to Evermore. It's full of surprises and mystery that keep you reading. Can't wait for the third book in the series!"
   —Frenetic Reader

"Noël's writing in Blue Moon is pure artistry, with its conversational flow and true-to-life dialogue. And in the midst of life threatening situations and centuries-old conflicts, she still manages to perfectly capture the cruel high school atmosphere and social hierarchy teens must deal with on top of their larger-than-life problems. As a result, readers will experience a great variety of emotions, similar to those of the grieving process: denial, anger, bitterness, acceptance, hope, anger, more anger, more hope, and finally, extreme anticipation."
   —Rebekah Harris

"Alyson Noël surpassed all my expectations, and 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!' ...There were numerous twists that kept me guessing. Just when I thought I had things figured out, I would get pulled in a new direction, which kept the book fast-paced and full of suspense... Another highly recommended book from Alyson Noël. The Immortals series is one you'll want to get your hands on!"
   —5 Star Gold Award, Teens Read Too

" Noël does an excellent job exploring Ever's growing fears and her determination to save lost love Damen. This author is on a roll!"
   —4 Stars, Romantic Times

" ...It is the mark of a daring writer to defy expectations and Alyson Noël 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 Noël surprises you with a big, fat twist and leaves you wanting more, more, more."
   —The Book Chick

"Noël surpassed all expectations I had for the sequel, if this is a preview to how the rest of the series will be, we all in for a huge treat. If you're looking for a new fantasy series that's worth reading, be sure to check out the Immortals series."
   —5 Stars, The Story Siren

   —Chris Shanley-Dillman, TeenReads

"This series is so well done. The YA paranormal genre has a flawless diamond among the gems with Blue Moon. I was moved to tears by a couple of scenes, especially near the end. Ms. Noël doesn't back away from emotion, instead she has the ability to reach into your chest and twist your heart."
   —4.5 Stars, Night Owl Romance

   —5 Stars, Midwest Book Review

" ...Mystery + romance + supernatural + drama = definite appeal to teens..."
   —Orange Coast Magazine

"Why Read It: Together Ever and Damen are a great love story that spans the centuries! There life as immortals is addicting, and this book takes you back into their long history as star-crossed soul mates. In this book they say, "Never fast forward into the future.

   —Justine magazine


Shadowland

   —Booklist

"The third installment of the Immortals series by Alyson Noël is breath-taking... This third installment is to die for. You will not want to miss this!"
   —DarkLadyVampireMistress

"I really enjoyed Shadowland . . .Ms. Noël does an excellent job deepening the mystery of the Immortals and what exactly Roman wants, other than to make Ever and Damen's lives miserable... With the addition of the mysterious Jude, surfer and owner of the crystal shop, we finally get a glimpse into Ever's surprising past lives, lives which Damen may not have truthfully portrayed before. Are Ever and Damen truly destined to be together or has he chased after her unmercifully for centuries? And what role does Jude have in her life—past and present? . . .Ms. Noël never fails to leave things with an immense cliffhanger and Shadowland is no different. With Ever's life changing decision, more things hang in the balance, much to Roman's sick delight. I can't wait to see what Ms. Noël has in store for us with the next book in the series out in 2010."

   —5 Stars, Lyra Rose

"Shadowland wastes no time jumping into the thick of the plot. Alyson Noël prompts the reader to think about human nature, immortality, karma and fate. This is not a superficial young adult book, Shadowland will inspire deep thought. . .The Immortals is a series to watch. The characters have depth and interesting motivations, while the plot brings up age old questions that will leave the reader thinking, long after the last page has turned."

   —4 Stars, Fantastic Book Review

"I loved both Evermore and Blue Moon, but Alyson Noël has truly outdone herself with Shadowland. There was more twists and turns and there were so many things that I didn't expect to happen, just like Blue Moon. this series just keeps getting better. They are all magnificently and beautifully written. I'm dying for the next book!"
   —Book Fanatics

"Once again, Alyson Noël has jam packed the novel with so much activity. . .The spark from the first two books is transformed into a smoldering flame that is impossible to not get drawn into. . .Finally, I will never—no matter how many of her books I read—be able to anticipate Noël's constant surprises. How she can come up with so many unseen, shocking twists I'll never know. She is a master at leaving the reader wanting more. Summer 2010 is far too long a wait for the next installment in Ever and Damen's adventures. If you haven't read this series yet, I highly suggest you do so now. With the plot and characters improving book by book, there's nowhere for this series to go but up."
   —5 Stars, Chick Lit Teens

"So many twists and turns were in Shadowland, and I almost couldn't keep up! I have never been more unexpectedly surprised by an author. Noël knows exactly how to keep me enthralled in her books. I can only imagine what she has in store for Dark Flame, the next in the series. Shadowland is purely mesmerizing. A book with a little bit of everything in it—romance, suspense, friendship, and immortality—all meshed together to create a mind-blowing combination. Only the next book in the series will satisfy my need to know what will happen next. I simply cannot wait!"
   —4 Stars, The Book Blogger

". . . I love the direction that Shadowland takes. More characters are introduced, including one that may get between Ever and Damen. Like Blue Moon, it ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, which will leave teens counting down the days until the next book is released."
   —5 Minutes for Books (review on the audio version)

   —That Chick That Reads

"It was easy to fall back into Ever and Damen's world and get caught up in their epic love story. Author Alyson Noël keeps up the twists and turns and she never ceases to surprise me . . . Shadowland explores the magical world Ever and Damen are part of in more depth and the subjects of reincarnation, spells, and fate are explored in more detail in this offering. I really liked learning more about how the magic works in this world and the intricacies Alyson Noël added were lots of fun to read about. The ending of this one will keep you turning pages and eagerly awaiting the next volume. Shadowland is another exciting and addicting read in The Immortals series. Alyson Noël knows how to keep her readers hanging and it's easy to see how this series is continually gaining new readers. Once you start reading about Ever and Damen, you won't want to stop!"
   —4 Stars, Teens Read Too

"Alyson Noël's distinctive ability to pique a reader's curiosity and never let go perseveres in this third book of her awesome series. One way she accomplishes this is by coming up with new, exciting and completely unexpected twists, turns and twirls of her plot. She also paints her characters with such vivid details that they remain fixed in one's memory as if they were real people. But the story doesn't bombard the reader with intensity all the time; Noël lightens the nonstop drama with occasional sparks of humor. Fans will be excited to learn that she is hard at work on the fourth Immortals book, which is scheduled for a Summer 2010 release."
   —TeenReads

"Alyson Noël's Shadowland is the third in the Immortals series and the darkest to date. Ever and Damen's struggle against the dark side of immortality is fraught with setbacks and frightening choices. The addition of Jude creates an intriguing triangle to the story, and Roman remains a menacing threat throughout. Fans of Ms. Noël's Immortals will enjoy the latest of Ever and Damen's journey and eagerly await the next story. If you're new to the Immortals, read the first two, Evermore and Blue Moon, before jumping into Shadowland."

Dark Flame

Dark Flame

"Dark Flame is the best installment in this series yet, ending in a very shocking way that leaves high promise for the next book. The readers' appetite will be whetted for more, the constant addictive craving Noël seems to infuse in every book continuing to guarantee her strong readership. The characters are advanced and developed, the plot progressed and the continued possibilities opened. Numerous new questions and intrigues spark, and the overall feelings toward certain characters shift in a constant flow. Noël includes plenty of surprising twists, unexpected tie ins and histories, and never lets the reader know what else she has planned. The predictability present at the beginning of the series is gone, leaving only a burning need for more."

Your voice wins me over every time, Alyson. Keep up the great work!"
