** spoiler alert **
           I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S REALLY SPOILER-Y OR NOT, BUT FOR SOMEONE WHO HASN'T READ THE SERIES IT COULD BE

I have very conflicting thoughts about this one actually. While I love the series, I'm not sure this was my absolute favorite. Sorry if any of this isn't very helpful. Hum? 

A few things I liked about the book were that Haven actually got a bigger part in this one, granted I didn't like who she became in it. Still she had a major part. I guess in a way it's good to see characters develop differently, and not stay weak and the same throughout the series. Haven remained her own..yes, she was a bitch. She could have easily used the elixir for the better, and been a better person. This little twist is what made me like this book had it not been that way I'm not sure that I could have taken much more of Ever and Damen's weird-ass romance. I kind of wanted to just give up on them. I mean don't get me wrong I really do love the characters and stories, but after 4 books of it..well a little tiring. 

I love how Miles stayed neutral to all the fighting between his two best friends, and when he learned of the secrets and was offered the same..he turned it down. Yea! Go Miles! 

Then being able to see more of Ever's past lives with Damen, and learn some of the not so happy moments that Damen dilberately hid from her was another highlight of the book. 

I was sad to see the way it ended not something I really wanted to happen, but what's done is done. 

I'm ready, ready for the last book Everlasting to be out. :)

If you haven't read the series. I would recommend it. It's not vampire or werewolf related, but it's got the paranormal aspect down. Also has some good otherworlds in it. I love summerland (the magical realm) It actually has a darker part to it which I'm dying to know about. :)

I know this is short compared to some other reviews, but I couldn't think of much. :(

OMG CHARACTER GROWTH!

Finally Ever gets her shit together and grows up. I still don't really like her but at least she has progressed a little from where she was.

I'm interested to see where this whole "dark side of Summerland" takes the story line. I have a few ideas but I'm sure they'll be wrong.

Damon has been a completely different character since about book 3 and that's been enjoyable. Jude is still here, still making the story slightly more enjoyable.

Honestly I think Miles is the best character and the only one you can actually relate to in any shape or form.

Haven I have greatly disliked since her first appearance and I'm glad to see how things turned out with her. I'm particularly fond of Miles' perception of the elixir and how it doesn't change who you are it just magnifies who you really are. Which is kind of hilarious when you think about the whole chakra weakness because the elixir magnifies it and makes you easier to kill, but what do I know.

The writing itself is fairly predictable. I can't decide if I keep reading this series because I actually care how it ends or because I feel obligated to read them because I've already bought them.
