Product Description
Enter the realm of the Immortals—the #1 New York Times bestselling series that’s been acclaimed as breathtaking, mesmerizing, flawless and extraordinary. Ever and Damen have traveled through countless past lives—and fought off the world’s darkest enemies—so they could be together forever. But just when their long-awaited destiny is finally within reach, a powerful curse falls upon Damen…one that could destroy everything. Now a single touch of their hands or a soft brush of their lips could mean sudden death—plunging Damen into the Shadowland. Desperate to break the curse and save Damen, Ever immerses herself in magick—and gets help from an unexpected source…a surfer named Jude. Although she and Jude have only just met, he feels startlingly familiar. Despite her fierce loyalty to Damen, Ever is drawn to Jude, a green-eyed golden boy with magical talents and a mysterious past. She’s always believed Damen to be her soulmate and one true love—and she still believes it to be true. But as Damen pulls away to save them, Ever’s connection with Jude grows stronger—and tests her love for Damen like never before…

So, I really should have written my review when I read this book . You notice I give it 4 stars, but that's because it's what I rated it on goodreads right after I finished it. But, I made the mistake of reading some other reviews before I wrote my own. And now, I've forgotten what I liked about it. All I can see are the issues that others pointed out. So, I'm tempted to go back and give it 3 stars. I did like it. The plot was interesting and suspenseful at times. The introduction of Jude and why he was there completely caught me off guard. I know for sure that when I finished reading it the twins really annoyed me. But, now all I can think of is the lack of development in Ever and Damon's relationship. We seem to still be in the same place we were in book one. I can't help but notice Ever's glaring faults. Bad choice after bad choice do not make for an interesting series. At some the main character has to evolve a little. But, I will continue on. But at this point in the series, I'm glad it's the library buying them and not me...

I was also disappointed. This is the first time I have read a book in a series and felt like it's only purpose was to push the series along. It was like a filler and very drawn out. I will not probably purchase the next book, but use the library. I felt as if I wasted my money on this book. It's a great series, so hopefully it will wrap up accordingly and not be forced into a long series unnecessarily.
Borrow this book from the library February 26, 2010

In the paranormal fiction novel, Shadowland, by Alyson
Noel, the main characters Ever and Damen, soul mates, can
sadly never touch each other because of Ever's misguided
attempts to save him in the previous novel. In the
previous book of this series, Blue Moon, Ever saved Damen
from dying by giving him a cure. However, due to pressure
from the horrid Roman, she also put some of her blood in
the cure. Somehow, this means that Damen can never touch
her DNA again because it is now poison to him. Ever
decides that that dreadful curse must be broken. In her
desperate attempt to actually break it, she asks Roman,
the person who brought about the curse, for help. However,
Ever mostly relies on the help of Jude, an odd surfer,
because she feels a connection with him, which shocks her
and causes her to wonder whether or not Damen is truly her
soulmate. Ever further wonders about her relationship with
Damen when she discovers that his extremely long past was
not completely noble and good. Ever has friends, such as
Haven and Miles, which also cause drama. For instance,
when Haven was worried about her cat dying, she turned to
Ever for help. Overall, Ever's friends fade into the
background and don't really contribute very much to the
plot.
I very much disliked Shadowland, the third book
in Noel's series. It was written fairly decently, but the
characters, the plot, and the overall book annoyed me in
that the characters were not well formed and were not at
all interesting. I didn't agree with the choices that the
characters made, such as when Damen decided to get rid of
all of his expensive things. It seemed pretty pointless to
do so. Above all, Ever was impulsive and silly because she
did not plan things out, but rather meandered along until
she thought of something to do, such as be stressed about
her relationship with Damen. I did, however, like the part
when Miles found out that he was going to Florence. This
is a great book if you're stranded on an island, have
nothing to do, and already ate all the monkeys, but not a
very good as a means of entertainment. I definitely would
borrow this book from the library and not buy it since
it's really not worth the money.

Still Excited for more... February 25, 2010

It's no lie that I'm still excited for more, even after the third book. I like the comfortability of this whole series. Sure, a lot of it revolves around...well...sex, but it's still really good. Every once in a while it's nice to feel like a hormonal teen again, lol.
I really also like the astrological/numerology/tarot feel of the whole thing. Having done a lot of my own research in the area, I can really understand.
