You don't know her, but you will. Her name, why, her name is Ever. Beautiful, isn't it? Ever, almost like a bell, ringing against your ears, reminding you of eternity, an everlasting vibration that sounds in your head and swirls through your mind. But you're not here to listen to her name, to deal with me explaining the beauty of a single word, you're here to hear her story.
She thought she was born in a small town, living with her brother, mother, and father. True, very true indeed, that she thought that. But was it true? No, actually it was the complete opposite. The only truth about her life was her name, Ever. Her boyfriend, Will, the abusing monster, dashing and loving at first, and then a violent creature that lashed out at her as their relationship developed, held more secrets than she would ever know.
Waltzing right into her life, Alex, a new student, decides to spin her on a roller coaster of secrets and emotions she wasn't really aware of. Everything changes when she attends a party for Will's parents and sees Alex there, who saves her from an energy-sucking demon.
Everything Ever thought was true is suddenly flipped on it's end, a splash of reality to the face. At the ripe age of sixteen, she finds out that she's not fully human, and realizes that all the things she's been told might be lies.
Just because my kind are labled as demons -
it doesn't mean we are monsters.
But I am.
I don't want the people I love to suffer.
I don't want to feel the pain of rejection.
I've spent my life treading the dark waters of the abyss.
All I want now is to drink in peace.
I don't want to hurt anyone anymore.
I don't want to fall in love.
But she makes me feel.
She tears down my walls.
What is this feeling?
"I just want her to smile. Even if it's not meant for me."
