I’m an original Evernight fan and have been since the first book came out in ‘08. As with every installment, I eagerly anticipated each book to ease the cliffy pain Claudia Gray is so great at planting. Well, I’d be less than honest if I said that this book was a slight disappointment for me and I’m bummed with how it ended. After close to three years of being vested in this series, it ends in disappointment for me. *sighs*I guess I wanted more for Lucas and Bianca. I knew these two characters w...

Okay... power reading done!!! I have not had a lot of time to process the book, so this may be a bit all over the place!**AND YES, THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS** Firstly, I have to say that Bianca did annoy me more in parts of this book than the others. Mainly when it came to her attitude towards Balthazar, and blaming him for what happened to Lucas, especially after everything he has done for them in the past. Although, this was sorted in the end, Lucas is a big boy, he can make his own decisions (li...

O M G!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE BEST BOOK FROM THE EVRNIGHT SERIES SO FAR!!!!!I AM SOOOOO, UGG! I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT!!!!!!it is soooo amazing! I was always left dangling for more info! It took me 2 and a half days to finish! I finished it today. I am soooo blown away! SADLY, I CAN;T BELIEVE I HAVE TO WAIT THE WHOLE YEAR TO GET AFTERLIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Can anyone give me some spoilers that will happen in Afterlife? Anyone?!?!

After I finished the previous book I was let down. I really didn't know what to think of Bianca being a wraith, I wasn't excited about it... So I put off reading this one for a while. It fell into my lap, so I started it. Well, I liked it more than I had expected. The ghost thing wasn't what I imagined. It was somewhat fun. I still fill like what was so wonderful about the first 2 is missing. Bianca and Lucas just aren't as much fun to read about. I'm not sucked into the story as much. For me, b...

Very disappointing end to the series. Left a lot of unanswered questions behind. There is also a lot of contradictions that come from the aftermath of the main events.The book started off painfully slow and the pacing do not improve much as it progressed. It was rather agonizing to read and, at the end, one is left wondering - I just struggle through all of that for what? A big fat raspberry.My other major complaint with Afterlife is writing structure. Ms. Gray's writing structure and style seem...

English Like the previous one was my favorite of the series, this was the one I liked the least.It takes 4 stars because the saga after all I liked it, and although at first I did not get the relationship between Bianca and Lucas, in these last two books it did. It is what I highlight in this book, besides the friendships that are forged in this one. Relations are the best. I did not click with this book at any time, all the time I was waiting for something that would make me not be able to r

I really liked the first three Evernight books, so was very much looking forward to this one. Unfortunately, this series ender didn't quite work for me. The events of the book seem pretty scattered and when action sequences finally happened, they seemed rather rushed and were described in a distant, brief way you might tell a story to someone who wasn't there. The biggest issues, however, were that Bianca just didn't seem as likable or interesting as a wraith, and the relationship between her an...

Original review posted on: heathersworldofbooks (SPOILERY and negative)When I read the last line in the book, I first flipped to the next page to see if it continued on. I then got on the computer to see when book 5 would be released. Surprising there is no extra page or book 5. This is really the ending and I'm terribly disappointed. Out of the 4 books in this series,this book is probably my least favorite. Bianca is completely unreliable in this book. Since she is a wraith now, Bianca isn't ab...

If someone told me that the Evernight series was going to be one of my all-time favorites back when I read the first book, I would have given them a funny look and ask; Did you read the WTF moment in the first book?!?I'm so glad that I didn't give up on this series back then. I would have missed out on so much more. Gray pulls her readers through such an amazing forbidden love story and a fun filled world and despite those WTF moments, I loved every single minute of this much beloved series.I do...

OMG! WTH! NOOOOOOOOO! Did this series just ended or am I going crazy?! o_OI am so not sure how I feel about this just yet...I guess like:Ok... I am going crazy... This was like the last book of this series! I am so disappointed! Like how can Claudia Gray do this?! I was expecting alot more than just a book (which is the last book in this series) to be full of crap. Like, its Evernight... EVERNIGHT! The book I loved more than anything in my life. A book which I was freaking proud to own. This boo...

What a complete disappointment. I had high hopes for Afterlife. Particularly because I really enjoyed the third book in the series, Hourglass. I am an original fan of the first book and I eagerly awaited each book's release. However, for me, Afterlife fell flat. Afterlife picks up exactly were Hourglass left off: we are waiting for Lucas to arise as a Vampire. And right off the bat, I had a sinking feeling I wasn't going to like this book very much. Why? After Lucas rises, he immediately takes o...

Update 2011: Moving to the 'read' shelf, because I can't stand this on my 'to-read' shelf any longer. I will never read this. Reading other reviews confirms my initial thought that I have better things to do with my time, including but not limited to poking my eyes out, watching paint dry/grass grow, or cleaning my toilet with a toothbrush. But, I can't delete a review with 33 likes, can I?Update: Giving up...I'll just pick it up when it's published. I hate when people rate a book before they re...

OMG (good) b(^_^)dOMG (bad) w(O_o)wI never expected the turn of events here in Afterlife, sure there are a lot of surprises and heartbreaking scenes. I learned a lot about wraiths, Bianca's powers, Lucas's struggle coping up with the vampire world, the story of Mrs.Bethany and her hidden agenda, of Christopher and a lot more but one thing is for sure I DIDN'T LIKE THE ENDING! (except they eliminated the threat). After reading the book, I was like WTH happened? I nearly cried over the ending. For...

AFTERLIFE (Evernight #4)••• ⭐️:4,0/5••💬: Destiny awaits Bianca and Lucas...Bianca and Lucas believe they could endure anything to be together. When fate transforms Bianca into a ghostly wraith and turns Lucas into a vampire—the very creature he spent his life hunting—they are left reeling. There is only one place Lucas can turn for help . . . Evernight Academy. But the vampire hunters of Black Cross are still pursuing them, and a final battle between wraiths and vampires looms at Evernight. Bia

*4.5 Stars*Ugh. It's been a week since I finished this and I STILL am upset by the end, a little...not that I wasn't happy....I was. But, then again, it also made me upset. But that's not to say it isn't my pregnancy hormones at work. Who knows? I LOVE Lucas-ADORE HIM-so I'll never forget this series. I might come back and add to this review, but ATM I'm super sucked into the Morganville Vamps, so I'll likely stick closer and truer to those reviews...we'll see!For more of my reviews, please visi...

This has to be one of the most disappointing books that I have ever read. The other books amazed me and I enjoyed them so much that I actually feel angry that this is how Gray decided to end the series. First off, it was so slow going and almost painful to read. It starts right where the last story ended. Lucas is a vampire and the majority of the book is centered around his struggling being a monster that he has spent his life killing. They are all forced back to Evernight and Mrs. Bethany to r...

My thoughts on this book are not very organized, so bear with me if you can.Based on the assortment of reviews I read in preparation, I was honestly expecting this one to blow. I've never had a particularly forgiving attitude toward these Evernight books, so I wasn't excited to get started reading. But it really wasn't that bad. I thought it was much better than the third one (which I hated).First, because it's fun to whine, here are the things I didn't like:1. Bianca and Lucas are both rather b...

Finally. The last installment of the Evernight books. Evernight was my favorite vampire novel for a very long time. The originality and the amazing plot twist had me hooked. As the books progressed however, I felt like my love for them kept shrinking. Stargazer was a huge disappointment for me, but Hourglass really made up for the second one. Hopefully by the end of this review I’ll have a concrete answer as to whether or not I liked Afterlife. Afterlife picks up directly where Hourglass left

Afterlife... I must admit I was surprised how good Lucas seems to take to being turned a vampire at the start. But then, it just showed the real power of the love that Lucas and Bianca shared.....“He Whispered, Bianca?”“It’s me, oh Lucas it’s me”Lucas clutched me to him in an impossibly tight embrace and I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. I felt hot tears against my shoulder, I wish I would cry too. Our Legs gave out at the same time and we sank to the floor together...........................

SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! There is absolutely no way I can review Afterlife and not share spoilers. Don't say I didn't warn you! I will try my hardest not to include to many.I decided to break down my review to the TOP Favorite Moments about Afterlife and What I did not like about Afterlife.First, I have to say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Claudia Gray's Evernight Series. Bianca and Lucas are one of my top favorite book couples and it breaks my heart to know that After...
