Synopsis ~
Bianca wants to escape.
At the eerily Gothic Evernight Academy, the other students are sleek, smart, and almost predatory. Bianca knows she doesn't fit in.
When she meets handsome, brooding Lucas, he warns her to be careful-even when it comes to caring about him. But the connection between can't be denied. Bianca will risk anything to be with Lucas, but dark secrets are fated to tear them apart...and to make Bianca question everything she's ever believed.
'Evernight' is the story of Bianca Olivier, a 16 year old who is about to start her first term at Evernight Academy, she meets Lucas Ross on page ten and is in love with him by the end of the chapter.
As the story progresses Bianca and Lucas find out secrets about each other, which leads to problems and also a sequel called 'Stargazer'.
'Evernight' has a lot of potential, the story could have been better, and more fast paced, nothing happens to page 139 and it is a great twist, I did not see it coming.
I enjoyed the story to a point because as mentioned, it has a lot of potential, which I felt unfortunately was not fulfilled, the school is the main premise but you cannot visualise it (and believe me I tried) there is gargoyles on the building, which Bianca mentions a few times.
No doubt I will read the sequel at some point because I hate not knowing what will happen next.
