Annotation
After a car crash kills her entire family, Ever is left with physic abilities and no way to control them until she meets Damen Auguste. Ever thinks Damen might be able to help her deal with this unwanted “gift”, but she soon finds out he’s got secrets and mysterious powers of his own.
Booktalk
It was a mistake. An accident. Something that wasn’t supposed to happen. Ever didn’t mean to linger; she desperately wanted to follow her family after the car crash as they crossed over from this life into the afterlife. If only she hadn’t gotten distracted in that beautiful field with the pulsating trees and shimmering grass. It’s too late now though because while her entire family has moved on, Ever is still stuck in this world, living with her aunt and trying to adjust at Bay View High. She’s also stuck with something else – the ability to see people’s auras and hear their thoughts.
Ever is just starting to give up on the idea that she can get her old life back – until gorgeous Damen Auguste transfers from New Mexico. Damen’s the only one who can silence the noise and turn off the random energy around her. Damen’s the only one whose entire life story she can’t see just by accidentally brushing up against him in the hallway. Except, how can she “explain that ever since the accident, the only people whose thoughts [she] can’t hear, whose lives [she] can’t know, and whose auras [she] can’t see, are already dead?”
*This book was recommended to me by Chloe (15 years old). She enjoys this series because "it's not like other fantasy books" she's read. Also, the novel explores the ability to "see people's auras and thoughts, things that could be real to some people", if one chooses to believe it.*
