After a horrible accident claims the lives of her family, sixteen-year-old Ever Bloom can see people's auras, hear their thoughts, and know someone's entire life story by touching them. Going out of her way to avoid human contact to suppress her abilities, she has been branded a freak at her new high school — but everything changes when she meets Damen Auguste.
Damen is gorgeous, exotic and wealthy. He's the only one who can silence the noise and random energy in her head - wielding a magic so intense, it's as though he can peer straight into her soul. As Ever is drawn deeper into his enticing world of secrets and mystery, she's left with more questions than answers. And she has no idea just who he really is - or what he is. I feel the theme of this book is don't judge someone on how they dress, or what they do.
For example Evers best friend, Haven, starts to dress differently after meeting Drina, a very old friend of Damen. On page 119 it says "when I get to the lunch table I try not to gawk but Haven's hair is purple.....'right after i hung up with you last night i triend to die it red, you know, that gorgeous coppery shade like Drina's?" This shows that Haven is trying to dress just like Drina. Another example of her dress just like Drina is on page 133 Haven says "you guys don't even know her.....then Miles yells 'its not true'.....then Haven says 'she likes me just the way I am'........(miles)Oh, is that why you changed your entire look, because she accepts you for who you really are?" This quote shows that Miles, gay best friend of Haven and Ever, is judging on how Haven dresses, buts its her choice to dress the way she wants to.
Ever judges Damen for trying save Havens life. On page 179 it states "Damen on the floor, his clothes torn, his face dripping with blood, while Haven thrashes and moans under him......what have you done to her? seeing her pale skin, her eyes rolling back, and knowing theres no time to waste." Later in the books ,not to spoil it, Ever thinks Damen is a vampire but all he is trying to do save her life. Drina insist that Haven gets a tattoo of Ouroboros. The tattoo gets infected and Damen tries to save her life but Ever sees something different.
This book taught me that me that i shouldnt judge a person on how they dress or the way they act, I need to get to know the person in order to judge them.

I really liked your whole blog post in general but what I liked the most was your first two paragraphs. It set up the tone and voice of the whole response and it sorta gave a mystical vibe which was cool.
