Ummm… WOW! First
books in a long time that really blew me away.
This “series” (for lack of a better word… not sure what to call it when
it’s only 2 books) is awesome. I
completely love Wren and Ever. Best
fictional couple for me so far this year.
The funny thing is that for the first half of the first For Ever I was almost laughing at C.J.
Valles. I mean she basically copied Twilight’s plot completely: new girl in school, meets amazingly hot guy,
he acts weird when he sees her, he disappears for a few days, returns only to
ignore her except for saving her life a couple times… could we get any more
similar on the plotline? The only
difference is that she’s the one who can read minds! I mean, even the fact that someone can read
minds hints at Twilight, lol! I guess Valles knew we would draw this
conclusion because at one point when Wren is trying to figure out what Ever is
she notes that he has a great tan so he must not be a vampire.
But remember, it’s all about characters for me, and Wren is
not at all Bella, and Ever is NOTHING like Edward. So I kept reading. And am I glad I did! I liked the fact that Wren is someone who
takes destiny into her own hands.
Granted her biggest move doesn’t work out all that well for her or
anyone else, but hey, at least she didn’t just sit there waiting for lighting
to strike. She is a very independent
young woman and she wants to make her own decisions and takes full
responsibility for the consequences.
Ever is a very different character too. He’s a little overprotective at times, but
since he knows way more about what’s really going on it makes
sense. He really should fill her in on
things better, but I think he’s just too used to keeping things secret. What I do love about him though is that he
knows her well enough to let her be herself and make her own decisions. Even though he often knows they won’t work
out so well he gives her the space she needs to work things out. It takes a good person to let the one you
love branch out and not smother them.
I would definitely recommend these books to any YA
Paranormal fans out there.
