Shadowland

The Immortals

By: Alyson Noel

Narrated by: Katie Schorr

Enter the realm of the Immortals - the number one New York Times best-selling series that's been acclaimed as breathtaking, mesmerizing, flawless and extraordinary.

Ever and Damen have traveled through countless past lives - and fought off the world's darkest enemies - so they could be together forever. But just when their long-awaited destiny is finally within reach, a powerful curse falls upon Damen...one that could destroy everything. Now a single touch of their hands or a soft brush of their lips could mean sudden death - plunging Damen into the Shadowland. Desperate to break the curse and save Damen, Ever immerses herself in magick - and gets help from an unexpected source...a surfer named Jude.

Although she and Jude have only just met, he feels startlingly familiar. Despite her fierce loyalty to Damen, Ever is drawn to Jude, a green-eyed golden boy with magical talents and a mysterious past. She's always believed Damen to be her soulmate and one true love - and she still believes it to be true. But as Damen pulls away to save them, Ever's connection with Jude grows stronger - and tests her love for Damen like never before....

I loved it!!!

it was so awesome I could stop reading it. I recommend this book. Enjoy it!

Loved it

Continuing to see Ever get so close to being able to make the right decision but going in the wrong direction ever time gives this series the right amount of frustration to keep you hooked.

Frustrated

Most of the book all I wanted to do was throttle Ever. You would think by the third book and all she had gone through, that she would have matured a bit. She doesn’t though, and I just found her to be really clueless. Not sure if I’ll read the 4th or not.

Enjoyed it and waiting for the next book...

Enjoyed all of these books and looking forward to the next. The 1st one was a bit tedious to get through, but once entrenched in the story it becomes more enjoyable and more addicting. Not a 5-star, but worth the read if you seek a decent series.

Others I enjoyed are: Shifters (by Rachel Vincent), Need/Captivate (Carrie Jones), Sue Grafton (Kinsey series) and Jeanne C.Stein (Anna Strong.

Great Young Adult Series

The Immortals series is complicated and layered. It has everything a Young Adult series should have without getting overly angsty. And I emjoyed the narrator - she has a great voice for characters of this age.

Begin with book one in the series.

Ever

Ever is a completely selfish. She is about as selfish as I have ever seen in my life. It’s pretty sad.

Loved it

Best one in the series yet. First one I thought was ok. Second was meh but loved this one.

Still love the series

If you could sum up Shadowland in three words, what would they be?

Emtional, Enchanting and Entertaining

Who was your favorite character and why?

Don't have one

What does Katie Schorr bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her way of bringing the characters to life.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Though I still love the series, I find myself getting really frustrated with Ever. I'm also not a fan of Haven.

Disappointed

It was so long and drawn out. Tired of the lead character always getting it wrong. I mean we know life isn't perfect but within the whole story NOTHING ever went right, except in book one. Hope in the next 2 books that the book will speed up and have some happiness within. Hope that Ever finally gets something right.

Disappointing

I found this book sooo frustrating, it was a continuation from book two it yet still didn't wrap it up. It interduced so many new threads into the story and didn't answer even one of them by the end which ended very abruptly. Loved the first and second book but was very disappointed with this book. Praying the 4th book is better or Im done with this series.
