Dark Flame

A Novel

By: Alyson Noël

Narrated by: Katie Schorr

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 …

Critic reviews

“The seven disks seemed to fly by of their own accord. Ms. Schorr continues to spellbound as she narrates the world of Ever Bloom.” —TeensreadToo.com

Performance

The performance is so bad. Jerky! It’s absolutely annoying. The book seems to have to many periods. She just jerks. Never goes seamlessly.

Pretty good read, but...

I really like this story, lacks a little depth and character development. I appreciated some of the closure provided as the story paced, but there was a struggle to get to the end of this one.

monotone

needs one or two more people to read the lines and the person needs to be a little less monotone.

This Series is Still Burning Strong.

The Immortals series is complicated and layered. It has everything a Young Adult series should have without getting overly angsty. And I adore the narrator - she has a great voice for characters of this age.

Story goes in circles

I think the performance was great and I did like it. That being said, the story itself is just CONSTANTLY going in circles. Literally just get to the dang point already and let's have some action! Every time there are scenes that pull you in, have some action, and start to entertain, it goes back to yet another load of butthurt high school girl drama dialogue.
I just wish the story would get a move on and also I hope to goodness Haven is just outright deleted from this series. Haven is so annoying. Also the amount of times these people could've just SAID what was up, yet chose to drag out all kinds of drama was insane. Just say what's going on and what's on your minds!!!
