Evernight Claudia Gray Books

Bianca Oliver doesn't want to be at Evernight Academy, a boarding school. Her parents took jobs at the Academy moving her from her life. With a chip on her shoulder she reluctantly attends not realizing she is about to find out that some truths about who she is has been hidden from her.

Bianca meets Lucas right away and he is different from everyone else she encounters. Lucas though has his own mystery surrounding him and there are others trying to tear them apart. Will they be able too?

Intriguing read. Was not what I expected, a bit darker than your standard academy reads. I really liked Bianca, she beats to her own drummer and thought the whole back story was fascinating. Great read, going to check out more in this series.

Evernight Claudia Gray Books Reviews


I picked this book up because Claudia Gray will be at a book signing I'm going to so I wanted to read from a book from all the authors I was going to meet. This book sounded pretty interesting to me. When I began reading I wasn't sure if the reader was suppose to know Bianca was a vampire or not but I don't think it actually comes out and says so until you are a good ways into the book. I ended up really enjoying this book. I was an interesting twist on a vampire novel. Vampires and a select few humans go to a boarding school but actuality the vampires are going to get a sort of update on the way the world works with vampires ranging from almost a century old to very young, like Bianca who is 16. Of course she meets a boy, Lucas and they have an instant connection from the very beginning. As the book goes on Lucas becomes more relaxed around the vampires and lets his guard down somewhat and that is were the trouble arrives at the end of the novel and he has to flee for his life. Overall, if you enjoy a good YA vampire book I would recommend you checking this one out. I'm excited to get to meet the author since having read her book.
Evernight started off "okay." I semi enjoyed the first chapter, where Bianca is afraid of her new school and wants to run away - and in the process meets Lucas. It was cute. From there, this book really went downhill, and at the 50% mark it became almost unreadable. While it picked up around 80%, that middle potion was nearly impossible to get through.

****** SPOILERS BELOW *********

On her first day of school, Bianca's internal narration is nonstop "Oh where is Lucas? He should know how afraid I am and be here to protect me!" Are you that pathetic that you need some boy you met the day before to "protect" you from the big bad high school kids? Bianca is afraid of all these high schoolers who seem too worldly and perfect to be true - you definitely get a sense of Bella Swan and the Cullen family (in Twilight before she finds out they're vampires). I'm fairly certain this is intentional by the author - Bianca is in awe of the stunningly beautiful and seemingly perfect rich people who populate her school.

From there she wanders through her high school life and ends up going to the prom-like Autumn Ball with a guy named Balthazar (!!). At the Ball she ends up ditching Balthazar and meets up with Lucas. While making out with him, she bites him and drinks his blood and OMG SHE IS A VAMPIRE!! She has always known she is a vampire and the author was tricking us by not giving anything away! She drinks blood every morning for breakfast and her parents are hundreds of years old.

Okay, fine. Stupid plot twist designed to be a shock, but I'm willing to go with it. Then you start learning more about her fellow students. Keep in mind she is at a boarding school with extremely strict rules and chaperones. Parties are broken up, there are curfews, lots of rules, classes like normal high school kids would get (history, chemistry, english, etc). Some of her fellow students are also hundreds of years old (some are well over 1000 years old). Why does a 400 year old vampire need to attend a boarding school where they get treated like children by vampires younger than them? IT MAKES NO SENS.

Then Bianca goes to a class where the teachers are giving instruction on how to use an ipod. So all of these 1000 year old vampires have been living in a hole since the middle ages and suddenly need to be taught how to use a cell phone and an ipod? It's made very clear that these vampires are extremely wealthy and love to jetset around the world, skiing and doing other things wealthy people do. They have equestrian competitions and fencing competitions, so they're obviously already integrated into the "real" world. But they don't know how to use a microwave or a cell phone? It's stupid.

And why do all these 1000 year old vampires act like catty teenage girls? It makes no sense whatsoever, except that the author has to make them act that way otherwise the super surprising OMG BIANCA IS A VAMPIRE plot twist won't be as much of a surprise.

The last few chapters (once we find out the truth about Lucas) is much more interesting and I wish the whole book had been more like that. It's too bad I had to read through 80% terrible in order to get there. I may check out the sequels, as there hopefully won't be any ridiculous plot twists to screw things up.
I thought Evernight was good, I think the only thing that I didn't connect to was how abruptly it began and how abruptly it turned from what seemed like a non paranormal read turned into a supernaturally engrossed book.

That was probably mostly my fault because I grabbed this book on the spur of the moment because I got it for fifteen cents and I liked the cover.

Yes, guilty... I'm a cover buyer. There are a great many times I just look at a cover and I grab without ever having read to see what the book was about.

This habit has lead to some great finds and not so great ones yet this is one that I felt was a good one. It did take me a little over half way into the book before I really felt drawn into the characters and the story which is why I think I went out and got the second book after the cliff hanger ending left me frustrated.

It wasn't a fantastic or exciting read for me but it was interesting none the less. I didn't feel the need to go beyond the second book just because it felt like it echoed many other YA paranormals I had been reading at the time so much that I felt like I was reading the same book over again.

If you're into YA paranormal books this is a decent series to invest in but if you lean toward something more mature and exciting you might want to look somewhere else.
