Evermore / Alyson Noel / 306 pages

Ever and her family are in a terrible car accident.  Her mother, father, sister, and perhaps Ever herself are killed.  Ever "recovers" and has psychic abilities.  She is visited often by her dead sister, Riley, and is taken in by her lawyer aunt, Sabeen (sp?),  Ever's best friends are Miles - a gay young man, and Hayden (sp?).  Ever is attracted to the new boy in school, Damon, who has enviable freedom as he is emancipated.  He often gifts Ever with red tulips.  Unfortunately, Damon seems to be occupied with Dreena (sp?) who is very much admired by Hayden.  Ever discovers that Damon and Dreena are immortals and are married.  Dreena attempts to kill Ever as she killed Ever's family.  Instead Ever kills her as "revenge weakens and love strengthens."
