Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

A twisty paranormal romance where Ever must choose between resurrecting her dead family and saving the immortal she loves.

Synopsis

Just as Ever is learning everything she can about her new abilities as an immortal, initiated into the dark, seductive world by her beloved Damen, something terrible is happening to him. As Ever's powers are increasing, Damen's are fading—stricken by a mysterious illness that threatens his memory, his identity, his life. Desperate to save him, Ever travels to the mystical dimension of Summerland, uncovering not only the secrets of Damen's past—the brutal, tortured history he hoped to keep hidden—but also an ancient text revealing the workings of time. With the approaching blue moon heralding her only window for travel, Ever is forced to decide between turning back the clock and saving her family from the accident that claimed them—or staying in the present and saving Damen, who grows weaker each day...

At a Glance

Peak 2000s paranormal YA with a genuinely gut-wrenching central dilemma—what if you could bring your family back but lose everything else? The Summerland dimension adds creative worldbuilding beyond the typical paranormal romance setup. Roman makes a compelling villain and the pacing keeps you turning pages fast. Best for readers who loved the Twilight era and want that nostalgic hit of angsty supernatural romance.

Spice Level 1

Spice StyleNot just how much spice, but what kind. Emotional intimacy? Explicit but vanilla? Plot-driven heat? Know your flavor.

YA-appropriate. Sexual tension and desire are present but scenes fade before anything explicit. Ever wants intimacy but circumstances always interrupt.

Getting SteamyGentle kinks. Fun but nothing too crazy. The appetizer, so to speak.

Bringing the HeatFor those who know exactly what they came for. This is where you find your exact brand of chaos. The good stuff.
