Book Review: Dark Flame

Alyson Noel's book Dark Flame got me hooked with it's dark magic and adventures.
The theme of the book is interesting. Ever tries to get the cure back from Romen so her and Damen can actually be together. The life lesson this book shows is to never give up keep going no matter how bad it gets. Ever and Damen not getting to touch each other is very hard on Ever. She trys to get in the doors to all the answers to help her and Damen, but she's loosing herself. Damen it really does not effect him at all. As long as he gets to be around her and see her everyday that's all he cares about. Ever misses his touch. Roman loves that they can't touch each other because Ever will always go him trying to get it. He can just play games with her.
Yes, the writer makes them seem real. The way the writer describes what they do and how they do it seems so realistic. I love the characters in this series of books. They are all connected in a way and know each other from way back in time.If i didn't like the characters I wouldn't care or want to read about the book. Since, I like the characters i always wonder what or how they're going to act next. Damen he's very outgoing and caring. He's always tried to help Ever like when she starts turning evil, he wants he to come ask him for help. When Ever does bad things behind his back like using dark magic he always forgives her. Another time is when she went to summerland without him and took Jude. Damen caught them there, but he still forgave her. Ever doesn't think much of herself and is always in bad situations. Ever is always putting herself down thinking she doesn't deserve the way Damen treats her. She deserves worse she always thinks. She has this curse on her where she can't resister her enemy. One day on Miles birthday she left Damen's side just to get close to him waiting on his touch. He just keeps walking!!! When Ever was thinking bad all the time about herself she actually started looking horrible. Her clothes were too baggy, she got zits, and her hair wasn't silky.
In some ways I can compare this book to others. The part I can compare is that it has magic in it like lot of other books i have read. Making spells, have special powers, very pretty,and strong is like the book Once a Witch. Dark Flame also has young love in it. Once a Witch has a very old family friend in it that she likes and he likes her too sooo it's similar. No, this book is fully on magic nothing really wasn't happening now. No, there really wasn't anything that personal that connected except one. When she got in a fight over trying to keep her friend safe and she didn't like it. Another connection i can make is when Ever tries to get her friend back and she does the right thing and says sorry to her. That's exactly what i had to do.
I recommend Dark Flameto readers that like magic, mystery, and to people who like reading about immortals. I give this book an eight.
