    Ever and Damen are back in the third installment in THE IMMORTALS series.  

    The two are searching for an antidote to the curse that prevents them from being together.  Ever remains hopeful
    that she and Damen will be together again, but when she meets Jude, she finds herself unsure of her destiny and her
    true soulmate.

    It was easy to fall back into Ever and Damen’s world and get caught up in their epic love story.  Author Alyson
    Noel keeps up the twists and turns and she never ceases to surprise me.  I didn’t think anyone could pull me away
    from being a Damen fan, but Jude makes a strong case.  I can see why Ever ends up confused!

    Haven and Miles take a backseat in this one as the story concentrates more on Ever and Damen, but for the
    moments we do see them, they shine.  We also get to hear a bit from Riley (via the help of others) and her
    appearances, even if they are not really seen, still make me smile.  And my favorite twins, Romy and Rayne, are
    also back.  I think these two are my favorite characters in the entire series and I looked forward to every scene
    they appeared in.  

    SHADOWLAND explores the magical world Ever and Damen are part of in more depth and the subjects of
    reincarnation, spells, and fate are explored in more detail in this offering.  I really liked learning more about how the
    magic works in this world and the intricacies Alyson Noel added were lots of fun to read about.  The only
    complaint I had was the over-use of the word “gape,” but I was able to overlook it because I was caught up in the
    story as a whole.  The ending of this one will keep you turning pages and eagerly awaiting the next volume.  

    SHADOWLAND is another exciting and addicting read in THE IMMORTALS series.  Alyson Noel knows how
    to keep her readers hanging and it’s easy to see how this series is continually gaining new readers.  Once you start
    reading about Ever and Damen, you won’t want to stop!
