Everless: Evermore: Book 2

Evermore, throws us right back into Jules world, and there isn't much time to catch your breath. Jules has returned to Crofton to find her friend Amma. Except, a very dangerous Caro is waiting for her and with the help of her guards, Jules is quickly captured and thrown in prison. I'm not going to tell you much more as it will be a spoiler! Jules needs answers. She is still reeling from what she has learned about herself and is coming to grips with her new reality. She struggles to choose her next path - flee, or fight for the final life she has! Much of Evermore follows Jules while she digs through her past (twelve lives!) for a way to defeat the sorceress. Even though she has the help of Liam, this journey is not an easy one. Evermore has more action than book one, Everless and much more magic. This sequel doesn't have the mystery of 'time as a currency', this concept doesn't get much of a mention, instead it focuses more on the fantasy side of the plot, not the sci-fi. However, the pacing is great, the characters develop and grow and the author has built in some slow burning romance between Jules and Liam to keep the reader engaged. As the reader gets deeper into the story, we learn quite a bit about Jules' and Caro's pasts, as well as what fuelled the divide between them. Friendship plays a large part in this sequel, Jules knows Caro is seeking her every weakness, most of all her friends - but even though she pushes them away to try to save them, she needs them to help her succeed in destroying Caro. Evermore has 346 well written magical pages, that contain manageable chapters which are full of unexpected twists and turns. The book is suitable for 12+ readers and older reluctant readers who enjoy fantasy fiction. So if you like a bit of magic, sorcery, death, secrets, a blossoming romance and so much more - give this book a read, I feel that you will not be disappointed. 346 pages / Ages 12+ / Reviewed by Linda Brown, school librarian.
