Synopsis: First love never dies. It's been a year since Ivy's boyfriend, Tristan, died. They've both moved on--Tristan to the other sid of the afterlife, and Ivy to sweet, dependable, Will. Now Ivy's heading to Cape Cod, hoping to leave the horrors of last summer behind. She wants nothing more than to lie on the beach, sip lemonade, and hang out with her friends.
But then a car crash ends Ivy's life.
As she floats to the beyond, looking down on the life she's left behind, Tristan breathes life back into her with a passionate kiss. She wakes in the hospital, surrounded by Will and her family. Still, all she can think about is the love that she lost.
But memories aren't all that's come back from the past. And this time, Ivy's not sure love will be enough to save her.
For anyone who hasn't read the Kissed by an Angel Series, Ivy and Tristan were in a horrible crash leaving Ivy hurt and Tristan dead. While Ivy has no memory of the accident at first, she remembers Tristan and the loss of him is heavy on her heart. A story about love and loss that makes you feel all emotions along with Ivy, also possesses mystery and danger. I would really recommend this to people who enjoy the sweetest of love stories, fans of mystery, and lovers of fantasy. Kissed by and Angel, The Power of Love and Soulmates are the three books that come before Evercrossed. If you have not read the first three, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS AHEAD. If spoilers don't bother you than feel free to read but if you like being surprised you should probably not go down any further.
After Tristan's death, Ivy felt that she would never love anyone again. But Tristan had come back to her as her guardian angel to save her from Gregory, her new step-brother, who was out to kill her. Ivy had unknowingly witnessed Gregory killing his mother, but when Gregory cut the breaks to Tristan's car, Ivy didn't just lose Tristan, she lost her memory of the accident and of the murder. Slowly, Ivy started to recover pieces of memory and realized that she was in danger. Tristan, who was then an angel, helped save Ivy with the help of their friends Beth and Will.
In Evercrossed, we start with Ivy in Cape Cod with her best friend Beth, Beth's cousin Kelsey and Dahnya, Kelsey's best friend. Beth, Ivy and Will are all trying to forget about the horrors of last summer. Ivy and Will are a couple now and he would do anything for Ivy, including risk his own life to save her. But when Ivy and Beth get into an accident and Ivy dies. Tristan risks himself for her, again, and breathes life back into Ivy. When Ivy wakes up in the hospital she has made a miraculous recovery, something that science just cannot explain. She also find out that their is another patient in the hospital that was found beaten and nearly drowned on the beach the same night of Ivy's accident-and he has amnesia.
In this story, Ivy falls back into a pattern of trusting people she shouldn't and risking herself again, against the advice of Beth and Will. There is a long part of the story that Ivy feels isolated from her friends and it only pushes her closer to this mysterious strange. Once again, Chandler writes a story of love and heartbreak that could make anyone wish for Ivy to be happy. An excellent story to be added to this series. It also leaves an opening for another novel, which I will most definitely be reading. Overall, an amazing story that pulls you right into the pages from the beginning to the end.
Up next on my reading list will be Afterlife by Claudia Gray
