By Jessa Russo
Seventeen year-old Ever’s love life has been on hold for the past two years. She’s secretly in love with her best friend Frankie, and he’s completely oblivious.
Of course, it doesn’t help that he’s dead, and waking up to his ghost every day has made moving on nearly impossible.
Frustrated, and desperate to move on, Ever finds herself falling for her hot new neighbor Toby. His relaxed confidence is irresistible, and not just Ever knows it. But falling for Toby comes with a price that throws Ever’s life into a whirlwind of chaos and drama. More than hearts are on the line, and more than Ever will suffer.
Some girls lose their hearts to love.
Some girls lose their minds.
Ever Van Ruysdael could lose her soul.

)“Stunning story , well written and very different to the norm , I picked this one up and refused to stop until I sadly reached the cliff hanger at the end … So many twists and turns sweet paranormal love story with plenty of OMG moments. A must read for anyone!”

)“Ever is a well written, interesting book that deals with death, first loves and teenagers who must grow up quicker than necessary. This book does include the dreaded love triangle, along with a very intriguing villain. The cover is gorgeous and the premise behind this book is excellent. The cliff hanger ending will have you screaming, “WHHHAAAATTT?” I think this book was a tad lacking in action, but I also think that it is a great set up for a future series.”

)“This was a good paranormal romance novel as paranormal romances go. The love triangle kept me turning pages, and I enjoyed Ever’s first person narration. There were plot twists throughout that surprised me, characters that fascinated me, and an underlying darkness only visible on closer inspection.”

)“I’ve read a lot off books. In fact, I think I’ve just about read `em all and I’m pretty good at being able to tell where a book is going. This one, although a little slow to start, boy did it throw me some curveballs. It had me guessing until the very last page. And I LOVED that. This book is extraordinary.”

)“I absolutely loved Ever. It was an incredibly pleasant surprise and I will definitely be picking up the sequel! In fact, I will be desperately awaiting the sequel because I really, really, really want to know what is going to happen next. It was that good, people. Moreover, I completely and totally recommend this book. To be honest, it’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. No book is. But if you love your fantasy and romance, and you’re looking for a unique paranormal romance, I’d definitely recommend checking this one one!”

)“Ever is a book that has almost everything; humor, heartache, lust, love, passion, need, mystery, and suspense! It made me feel every emotion you can think of at some point. I was laughing at some parts and wanting to cry and yell at others. This book was anything but boring.”

)“A ghostly, romantic, and riveting story. Ever is an exceptional debut portraying the indescribable writing skill and fascinating ideas of an impeccable author. To say that I enjoyed this story is quite the understatement. To say that it made quite an impression? Not even close. I was completely emotional while reading, and honestly, I can’t seem to find the right words to describe my feelings about the novel.”

)“From the get-go, the voice of Ever was spot-on. I felt an immediate connection with her. I loved that none of the characters were flat – each one had his/her own flaws, things that made them tick, etc. Very well done.”
~Michelle @ Goodreads()
~Michelle @ Goodreads(
)“This story grabbed me right after the first page. I couldn’t put it down. Yes we have seen stories about love and ghosts. But the way this author crafted her story is different. We see a young woman face grief and normal teenage insecurities but somewhere along the plot we see a glimpse of the woman she will become.”

)“Jessa Russo is definitely an author to follow. Her debut novel, Ever, will rock the socks of readers and build excitement for more, more, more!”
~Candace @ Lovey Dovey Books()
~Candace @ Lovey Dovey Books(
)“I have read a LOT of paranormal romance books since rediscovering Young Adult Fiction this year, and it seems like there’s the usual “formula” in most of them, and once you figure that out, the book is very predictable. Ever, however kept me guessing with all the twists and turns in the story. Even the typical ever present “love triangle” has some new ideas. I was hooked almost immediately and read this novel almost compulsively until I finished.”
~Jennifer Hughey()
~Jennifer Hughey(
)“The story was very interesting. There are twists along the way that you never see coming. The plot was original and fun. The ending was a total shock. I was completely floored. Now, I’m dying to find out what happens next.”
