About the book
In Alyson Noel's most darkly seductive Immortals novel yet, Ever fights for control of her body, her soul - and the timeless true love she's been chasing for centuries.
Ever is trying to help Haven transition into life as an immortal. But with Haven drunk on her new powers and acting recklessly, she poses the ultimate threat - exposing their secret world to the outside. As Ever struggles to keep the Immortals hidden, it only propels Haven closer to the enemy - Roman and his evil companions
At the same time, Ever delves deeper into dark magick to free Damen from Roman's power. But when her spell backfires, it binds her to the one guy who's hell-bent on her destruction. Now there's a strange, foreign pulse coursing through her, and no matter what she does, she can't stop thinking about Roman - and longing for his touch. As she struggles to resist the fiery attraction threatening to consume her, Roman is more than willing to take advantage of her weakened state?and Ever edges closer and closer to surrender.
Frantic to break the spell before its too late, Ever turns to Jude for help, risking everything she knows and loves to save herself - and her future with Damen. . .
My Take
I have to hand it to Alyson Noel, she can write a teenage character really well. I really wanted to slap some sense into our leading lady Ever quite a few times. I loved how Alyson Noel doesn't make Ever into an "adult" just because she is supernatural, after all she is still a teenager without a lot of life experiences to build on. Ever makes a lot of mistakes and doesn't always trust the right people or know when to ask for help, sound like any teenagers you know? Ever has evolved over the series though, with each book she gains more understanding of the world around her and her place in it. The conflicts in this book fit nicely into the series and the book finishes off on a bit of a cliffhanger. Another page turner in The Immortals series, Dark Flame is not to be missed!

I'm actually a bit nervous about reading this one. I'm not very fond of Ever or Damen but I'll pick it up eventually. I do love Jude. Great review!
Jude has a larger part in this book! :)
