I really don't need to read this book again...considering I have it practically memorized at this point :-) Just wanted to celebrate it's appearance on Goodreads!Everlasting was, in short, a very pleasant surprise. One of the things I love most about reading brand new authors is that you never know how their books will turn out. I'm happy to say that Angie Frazier delivered--Everlasting was pretty darn good!First of all, Frazier did a really good job with the setting.

This book is not one of the disappointing ones. It was a quick (since it's YA) and fun read.Everlasting's strongest point, in my opinion, was its characters, especially the heroine. Camille is a girl who wants more than the life society would offer her. Having spent the first 17 years of her life sailing on her father's ships, she's not
In today's world of Young Adult novels, there's no shortage of the supernatural. Oftentimes the same basic storyline displays itself across the shelves of our local bookstores. The names have been changed, but the story remains the same: normal teenage girl falls for otherworldly beautiful boy. Vampires, werewolves and witches run rampant across every aisle (not that there's anything wrong with that). ;)And then there's this story. Too beautiful to give it the same normal title as "book", this
