Melissa W. (vampira1w) -
So continues the story of Ever & Damen. Torn apart to be together again as the cycle continues over and over. They just CANNOT catch a break... Ever is at the point where she is now getting on my nerves. She did (towards the end) start coming around a little better, however, she ALWAYS manages to make everything about HER which is why I cannot blame Haven sometimes for saying what she does. Important Choices are made in this book and I cannot wait until I read Everlasting!

We return to the world of Ever Bloom and friends in the fifth installment of Ms. Noel's popular THE IMMORTALS series. Macmillan Young Listeners has done it again with another thrilling story read by Katie Schorr.
Haven has discovered her true powers and now will do anything she can to destroy Ever. Haven blames Ever for killing Roman. No matter how Ever explains it, Haven believes Roman truly cared for her and would never have let her really die when he forced Ever to choose between Damen's antidote and Haven's life.
Senior year has started for them and things are quite different this time. Haven has dethroned Stacia as queen bee and Honor's allegiances are waning. Miles has returned from Italy totally changed. Changed so much that at first Ever and Damen think Haven has gotten to him. But it's quite the opposite. Haven has told Miles about being immortal, but shocking them all, Miles wants nothing to do with the magical elixir.
NIGHT STAR primarily deals with Haven and Ever's growing battle of wills. Only one can succeed, but will it be Ever or Haven? Unfortunately, I can't give that detail away here.
Ms. Schorr reads NIGHT STAR as brilliantly as she has the four previous novels in the series. It's a real treasure to be able to listen to the same reader through multiple novels in a series. There is a consistency there that the listener comes to rely on. Ms. Schorr's voice becomes Ever, and takes on all the characters just as wonderfully. Miles has a larger role in NIGHT STAR, and I enjoyed listening to Ms. Schorr take on his newfound confidence. Ms. Schorr aptly shares the nuances of Haven's ever increasing agitation and frustration as her obsession with Ever grows. And as always, by the final lines, she has brought the listener to the edge of their seats, eagerly wanting more, but knowing that they will have to wait for the next novel.
Unfortunately, that won't be until the summer of 2011 when the final chapter of THE IMMORTALS series, EVERLASTING, will be published.
