Characters
Ever Bloom is the main character in this series, which outlines her adventures figuring out just what has made her immortal. Damen Auguste Esposito is her love interest and the one who made her immortal. Damen is extremely protective of Ever and has been for centuries. Sabine is Ever's Aunt who takes Ever into her care after Ever's family perished in a car accident. Sabine never believed that Ever is immortal or that she has all the powers she claims she does. Riley is Ever's little sister who died with her family, but after the accident Riley doesn't cross over the bridge to the other side. Instead she stays in the realm of Summerland. She isn't alive and neither is she dead. Ever can still see and talk to her sister, but soon realizes that it is wrong for Riley to stay and needs to cross over to be with their family. Drina is one of the orphans that Damen changed to an immortal during the plague when he came up with the elixir to make humans immortal. Drina also married Damen later on, but that ended when Damen met Ever. Drina never got over that and every time Ever reincarnated she killed her. Ava starts out not important, but soon becomes very close to Damen and Ever. She even takes in two of the girls that Ever met along their travels in Summerland; Romy and Rayne. Miles and Haven are Ever's best friends who she meets when she moves to her aunt's house in Laguna Beach, California. Miles is very into acting and theatre. When he learns Ever is immortal he tells her he doesn't want to be changed even though Ever offers. Haven on the other hand is turned without choice by Ever because Ever feels if she doesn't Haven might die due to Roman. Roman is one of the orphans as well. He hates Damen because he loved Drina, but Drina never loved him back. Jude is another one of Ever's love interests. Jude has also reincarnated with Ever over the last few hundred years. Ever, even though she has a strong connection with him as he does with her, chooses Damen. We also meet Lotus and many other immortals that Roman changed on his travels through the centuries.
Synopsis
Ever Bloom had a normal life; she was a cheerleader, dating the most popular guy in school and dealing with her annoying little sister. That is until the accident changed everything. They were driving home from Ever's cheer camp when she realized she forgot her sweater and had to go back. Her dad took a short cut to turn around when out of nowhere a deer ran onto the road causing her dad to veer off the road. Her family was killed on impact, but Ever survived. When she is in the hospital she has a weird feeling that she can see her sister and talk to her. Ever doesn't say anything about it because she doesn't people to think she's crazy, but she is certain this feeling is because of her near death experience. Later on she meets Damen Auguste who seems to know what she is going through. Ever also has the ability to read minds or books with a simple touch. What's different with Damen is that she can't read him and when he holds her hand it blocks out the other thoughts of everyone. Ever wants to know how he knows all about her, but when he tells her she refuses to believe that she is immortal. She soon realizes though that there is no other explanation for her strange abilities. Damen gives her the choice to remain immortal and drink the elixir and be with him forever or return to being mortal by never drinking the elixir again. Ever can't imagine life without Damen and drinks the elixir sending her life into chaos that she never imagined.
