I love the whole relationship with Allie and Aiden in this book. Overwhelmed at first, her new friends help her discover who she really is and accept her new life. She discovers she’s one of the Immortals, along with Aiden (a boy at her school) and a few of the other friends she has made. Until her sixteenth birthday, when things really change for her. So, when she has to start over again, she doesn’t really question it as much – she kind of just goes with it. It’s really sad, to see her ripped away from the happiness that she has to go somewhere else and start her life all over again. In fact, the book opens with her saying goodbye to a boyfriend she cares quite a bit about. Allie’s parents move her around a lot, and she never really understands why. Plus, the plot of this book is so original. I want to be a reflection of what I love-of who I am on my own, not just an empty echo of who I love. “I don’t want to be that girl who’s nothing without her boyfriend. She’s independent, she knows who she is as a person, and she isn’t one of those girls who needs to be in love at all time just to function. I really loved the characters in this one, especially our heroine, Allie. I honestly don’t know what I was expecting, but I didn’t think it would be this good… I was completely blown away by the amount of action and the brilliant plot that this book offered.
This book was not what I was expecting at all. A dangerous world where she will have to fight tooth and nail to defend the power and freedom that is her birthright. She has always been different, but even among her extraordinary friends, she and Aidan are special.Īs Allie struggles to maintain her tenuous grasp on the power that threatens to overwhelm her, she worries she will lose herself in this strange new world. She struggles in ignorance, uncertain of what is real and what isn’t. He smiles and welcomes her into his circle of friends, who aren’t exactly comfortable with Allie, but they seem to get her in a way most people don’t.įinally, Allie has a real shot at normal and rides that high right up to her sixteenth birthday when she wakes in agony-an experience Aidan insists they have all faced. When an unexpected move to Kelleys Island brings Aidan McBrien crashing into her life, Allie is thrown by his reaction. She has no cause to believe that equation works differently for her, but there has to be a reason the world treats her like a pariah. Allie Carmichael has always believed life is simple.
