Product Description
Things have changed for Ever since she met her beloved Damen - not least because she's got a whole new set of powers, courtesy of her new Immortal status. Just as she's getting stronger, though, Damen seems to be weakening. Panicked at the thought of losing him, Ever finds a path to the in-between world known as Summerland.

 An amazing read you won't be dissapointed August 25, 2010

I'm not going to bore you with what it's about you should read it for yourself! You only know if a books good if you read it.
I think it is a great book full of magic and adventure, twists you sometimes really don't expect and yes it is a love story but it's not childish is more of a mature love than anything. I have ordered all the books and they are amazing. A great writer and a great story what more do you want? I strongly recommend it!
 Pretty awesome August 21, 2010

Ever since finishing Evermore last year, I've been eager to read Blue Moon, really wanting to find out what happened next - would Riley return? Would I get more of an idea who Damen is? What would Ever do with her new powers? So when I finished reading all the books I brought with me when I went on a break, I decided to buy Blue Moon and see where the story went - ad it was a good job I did! Such a great read!
Blue Moon is very much a middle book. It's not as fast paced as Evermore and not a lot happens in the great scheme of things, but it's not slow and it's definately not boring. With the arrival of a new student, the ever cheerful Roman, and the sudden strange behaviour of everyone at school, including Damen, Ever's world is turned upside down. Along with Ever, we get to explore further the beautiful Summerland as she tries looking for answers, and finding out a lot more than she bargained for.
Ever is just brilliant in Blue Moon, she grows so much. There are several occasions where she has to use her own initiative and work things out by herself, she shows how brave and smart she can be. We find out more about Damen's past in this novel, which gives more of an idea of who he is, and I actually really quite like him now! Haven grew on me a little this time round; after accepting that's just the way she is, she can be quite amusing at times. Still loving Miles, he's still his chirpy, dramatic, camp self. Roman drove me round the bend with his excessive cheerfulness. I just wanted to slap him.
As I said, not a huge amount happens for most of the book, but what does happen is just so intriguing! I can't really go into it too much, but Damen's world is a lot bigger than Ever realises, and his past catches up with them. The action in Blue Moon takes a different form than we've previously seen; Ever has to race against time to save lives, and you're never sure if she's going to make it, or exactly what's going on and why. The pace picks up as the story goes on, and you're never sure how it's going to end. I never saw the actual ending coming. I mean, wow! Such a cliffhanger!
Having not yet read Shadowland, the third in the series, I can't say for sure, but it seems to me that Blue Moon is a bridge book to get the story and the characters from the end of Evermore to the beginning of Shadowland. It's not as great as Evermore was, but it's still pretty awesome; so engaging, I couldn't put it down! Well worth a read! I'm so excited to seeing how things turn out and where Damen and Ever's relationship goes in Shadowland, which is out now.
A solid sequel July 24, 2010

I can't remember how many people I urged to read Evermore, and I wouldn't have any qualms about recommending this one too. Ever and Damen are back again, but the path of true love never does run straight, even for Immortals. A new British boy appears at school, unleashing a chain of events that causes the unthinkable to happen. Ever then has a hard decision to make between her past and her future...
I really enjoyed the twists and turns this story took. It must be so tempting when a first book is successful to just keep writing to that formula but Alyson Noel took a risk here and I think it paid off. It's not going to appeal much to anyone just wanting another book about the romance itself, but it moved the story on well and the ending left me gagging for more.
A good read July 16, 2010

Really enjoyed reading this book, escapism at is best. Loved the characters. You really need to read Ever More first though. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
Not as good as the first. But still brill. July 9, 2010

Ok, so I wasn't as impressed with this one as the first. It ended... and left me a little bit puzzled. It was odd.
But bizarre ending aside, the story continues from the first and still kept me compelled enough to read in just a couple of sittings again.
The story was fast paced, especially as it met its climax and this made for a satisfying read.
I would say that perhaps there are better books in this genre. But I still gave it four stars because I enjoyed the first and still liked this one. I have no doubt I will enjoy the next, but I found them a little lacking a certain spark felt by other series'.
I felt that Blue Moon was a little watered down. This is what I've been grasping at. Evermore has a wonderfuly energy and Blue Moon seems to be flagging a bit. Hopefully the next installment will drink a red bull to get things bouncing back to life.
Would I recommend this? Yep. Defo a good read. But don't expect great things. It's not an Alexander of the book world. ^^
