Radiance by Alyson Noel

For Review: Square Fish. Published 31 August 2010

From Goodreads: Riley Bloom left her sister, Ever, in the world of the living and crossed the bridge into the afterlife—a place called Here, where time is always Now. Riley and her dog, Buttercup, have been reunited with her parents and are just settling into a nice, relaxing death when she's summoned before The Council. They let her in on a secret—the afterlife isn't just an eternity of leisure; Riley has to work. She's been assigned a job, Soul Catcher, and a teacher, Bodhi, a curious boy she can't quite figure out.

Riley, Bodhi, and Buttercup return to earth for her first assignment, a Radiant Boy who's been haunting a castle in England for centuries. Many Soul Catchers have tried to get him to cross the bridge and failed. But he's never met Riley...

Riley was one of my favourite characters in Evermore so I was really pleased when I heard she would centre in this spin off series. Taking place after the events of Evermore we join Riley in the 'Here and Now' where she is made a Soul Catcher. Provided with a guide – Bodhi (aka Dorky Guy) – and joined by her dog buttercup, Riley returns to earth for her first assignment as a soul catcher.

I really enjoy Riley’s voice – she’s spirited, witty, feisty and very likeable. Bodhi is a very interesting character - I really liked him - and I am looking forward to learning more about him. I especially liked the scenes with him and Riley and thought they had some good chemistry. I kept laughing when she completely forgot he could read her thoughts. Bhodi has a story arc of his own too which I really enjoyed - I think it was possibly the best part of the book for me.

I also really enjoyed the story. There is plenty of action once the characters return to earth and I thought it was a great start to the series. It is a very quick read and although aimed at a younger audience I think older readers would enjoy it too. You don’t need to have read Noel’s Immortal series as this easily works as a standalone – but for those who have it’s great to catch up with Riley again.

I’m really looking forward to the next in the series – there was a sneek peek at the end of my ARC and it sounds completely brilliant. Can’t wait!

Cover to Covet

I LOVE book covers. Love, love love them. So I decided to make it a regular post - each post featuring a cover I love. So first up...

I really love this cover. It's simple but really beautiful - very eye catching I think. Really makes me want to read the book! It's the first in Noel's spin off series and is published in the US 31 August 2010 by Square Fish.

Blue Moon By Alyson Noel

Review Copy: Macmillan. Available now

From Goodreads: Things have changed for Ever since she met her beloved Damen - not least because she's got a whole new set of powers, courtesy of her new Immortal status. Just as she's getting stronger, though, Damen seems to be weakening. Panicked at the thought of losing him, Ever finds a path to the in-between world known as Summerland, where she learns the secrets of Damen's tortured past. But in searching for a cure for him, Ever accidentally discovers a way to twist time so she can save her family from the accident that killed them. It's all she's ever wanted - but so is Damen. And Ever must choose between them...

I really enjoyed Evermore. I felt it was unique and was a great start to the series. As such, I had high expectations for Blue Moon.

While I liked it overall I have to admit I found this one really hard to get into at first. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it - while I was reading it I liked it. The problem was as soon as I put it down I found I was not compelled to pick it back up again, finding myself reading something else instead. Once I got about half way through the book things completely changed. It was as if someone had flicked a switch and I raced through the rest of the novel, not stopping once! I think this is because Ever started to take control and regain some of the sass she was lacking in the first part of the story - to begin with it was as if she was just reacting to everything instead of trying to find a way to change it.

Ever is a great character and even though I sometimes get frustrated with her I really like her and enjoy taking the journey with her. The story itself is intriguing - I enjoyed finding out about Damen's history and about Summerland, and considering how this installment ends I am now very interested to see how things pan out in the next book. I am glad I persevered because the second half was fantastic! It's a shame it didn't grab me from the start but it definitely ended on a high and I'm looking forward to Shadowland when it's published.

Evermore by Alyson Noel

Published 2 October 2009

From Amazon: Seventeen-year-old Ever is the sole survivor of a car crash that killed her entire family. Living with her aunt in Southern California, she's plagued by the ability to hear the thoughts of those around her, and haunted by the ghost of her little sister. She tries to tune everyone out, shunning her old lifestyle as the pretty, popular cheerleader, but somehow she can't hide from Damen, the new guy at school. Stunningly handsome, clever and not a little bit intimidating, there's something about him that doesn't quite add up. Ever realises he's hiding something, but nothing could prepare her for the truth - especially when the truth involves past lives, murderous enemies, everlasting love and the secret of eternal youth.

I really enjoyed this. I wasn’t sure what to expect. The story sounded brilliant and I’d read so many great reviews that I really wanted to read it. I wasn’t disappointed! Ever is an interesting character that I enjoyed spending time with and I look forward to continuing her journey in Blue Moon. This is the first in what promises to be a great series. Noel has created a world that feels unique enough to stand out from the crowd.
