I recently read the first novel in a new series called "The Immortals" by Alyson Noel, and lemme tell ya - it's no
Twilight (I mean really, what is?), but it's GOOD STUFF and I will definitely be picking up its sequel (due out in June).
Sixteen-year-old Ever used to have it all - a little sister named Riley, loving parents, and her dog Buttercup. She was part of the popular crowd, a beautiful cheerleader with long blond hair and blue eyes, and a cute boyfriend. Until one day, a terrible accident claimed the lives of her family, and she is left to attend a new school and with new abilities - she can see auras, hear thoughts, and know a person's entire life story just by touch. Veiling herself in baggy hoodies with an Ipod in her ear at all times to block out her classmates' sneers, Ever is miserable except for the moments when Riley comes back to visit. And then she meets Damen, exotic and beautiful Damen, who (TWILIGHT PARALLEL ALERT) is the only person who's mind is blank and aura is clear. Something is obviously not
normal about him, but she can't quite put her finger on it. (And nope - it's not the obvious.) And why is he attracted to HER? Dun dun dun...
Definitely pick this one up!

House of Night series next, so be on the lookout for more reviews!)
