I thought it was a slightly different take on our world, familiar enough to be deceptively comfortable and believably rendered where it diverged. She doesn’t couch spirituality in terms definitive enough to link it to one religion over another, but there is a spiritual aspect in that the reason Ever’s sister can come to visit and the notion of reincarnation are used as plot points in the story. Noël’s world doesn’t have vampires or werewolves (at least, not yet), but it does have psychics, souls, and mysterious and powerful immortals. and Kristin Cast’s House of Night series, in that it’s a teenage paranormal story.
It is in the current popular vein of Twilight or P.C. Even as Ever resists her attraction to Damen, she is falling in love with him-even though she knows she has no idea what he actually is. But when a new boy named Damen joins Ever’s class, she discovers someone whose aura she cannot read and whose voice and touch will dispel the sights and sounds of everyone else’s minds. Compounding her fears for her own sanity is her little sister, who insists on visiting her almost daily from the other side. Grief is not the sole reason for her new persona, however-Ever came back from her brush with death with the ability to read people’s emotional auras and learn their entire history with a touch. At her aunt’s, Ever has withdrawn into herself, dressing to be invisible and making friends with the biggest misfits in her school, Goth-girl Haven and simpering Miles. The book is about Ever, who was the sole survivor of a car crash that took the lives of her parents and younger sister and necessitated her move from Oregon to California for her last two years of high school.
