*Spoiler in here, if you can really spoil this book.
Ever and Damen are unable to solidify their eternal bond because Ever added her blood to the elixer that saved Damen. Now, if their bodily fluids mix, their immortal souls willl perish and be sent to Shadowland. Ever wants more than anything to rectify the situation. Damen at first decides that this is all because of bad karma that he caused by being so self centered for 600 years.
Ever tries to persuade the elusive Roman to give her the information she needs. Roman in turn tells her she will have to pay the price (which Ever imagines is probably sex, but turns out to be saving her friend Haven from death by having to decide if Haven becomes immortal or dies). Damen decides to dress like he shops at Wal-mart and ride the bus in order to turn his karma around. Pointlessness.....upon pointlessness.
Ever gets a job at a psychic shop. The owner, Jude, turns out to be a major player in their immortal game. It seems that we now find Jude has followed Ever throughout her lives and that he may have also been her boyfriend/lover. Damen thinks that because he has persued Ever throughout time, that he has actually negated her agency to choose and now leaves her to spend time with Jude and decide once and for all whom she wants to be with. In the mean time, he cares for two twin witches that left Summerland in the last book, and have now lost their magik.
The whole book was like an after-thought/segue (and not a smooth one) to book #4.
Rating 3 I can connect with the whole I wish we weren't damned to hell if we touch each other......meh, okay, that's horrible. But the rest of the story was blah. Ever's friendships are dull and shallow. Ever and Damen can't do anything but wish they were together. The whole Jude ordeal may have been interesting if we were ever given anymore information than 'he followed her through every life'.
Rating PG........honestly I can't remember....they can't do more than kiss with a magic forcefield between them so it couldn't have gotten too bad.
