Yes, I’m in my thirties. And yes, I read the entire Twilight series in a week. Is it just me or does Robert Pattinson have the sex appeal of James Dean and a young Marlon Brando? I  want to slather him in peanut butter and eat him up in a sandwich.

(Oh. Stop. Don’t roll your eyes at me. You know you’ve thought the same thing.)

When I came across The Immortal Series, I was eager to read the books, mainly because I’m intrigued with the paranormal. (And suffering from Twilight withdrawals…but nevermind all that.)

The first book titled Evermore centers around a young girl moving halfway across the country to live with her aunt who never had children, nor is married and a successful lawyer. Ever (the main character and yes, that is her name) attends a new school and finds herself sitting beside a mysterious, physically perfect boy who is the object of a lot of female attention.

This young man likes to drive fast, shows up unexpectedly, can read minds and we find out he’s lived for a very long time. Ever doesn’t think she’s worthy of his perfection, even though he doesn’t seem to be bothered by her being ‘normal’ (but is she?)

Evermore is basically Twilight,  and as one reviewer stated: “[it is] poorly written, with a dash of “quantum physics”, a pinch of a glossed-over theory of reincarnation, and a dollop of The Secret for good measure.”

The second book is titled Blue Moon (sound familiar?) and I was bored halfway through. It is easy reading and  predictable.

I haven’t read the third book, Shadowland /Summerland / Boringland, (can’t remember the name) and I’m not sure I will… unless of course I’m in the mood to ease my brain from the hard parts of life… like you know, breathing.

Final verdict: The basic concept of the storyline had promise but the execution was a boring nightmare.
