It’s been a year since Ivy’s boyfriend, Tristan, died. They’ve both moved on—Tristan to the other side of the afterlife, and Ivy to sweet, dependable Will. Now Ivy’s heading to Cape Cod, hoping to leave the horror 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 up in the hospital, surrounded by Will and her family, but 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.
I loved this book. The plot immediately grabbed you and pulled you in. Ivy is looking forward to a great summer until a crash changed her life. She see’s Tristan who give her the kiss of life. Ivy who should of been dead, is back. Now things have changed because Ivy seen Tristan knows that he is here, with her. Everyone seems to think that her brush with death made her hallucinate. She does her best to move on until she sees a strikingly beautiful blue eyes to someone who she once knew.
Let me start off by saying that this book is so hard to read. If you read the first three books, you understand that the love between Ivy and Tristan is one of a kind. A love that last a life time. After losing him, Ivy moves on with Will, whom she loves. So in this book we see the relationship struggle with Ivy and Will. I admit that I rooted for Ivy and Will in the third book. Ivy had been through so much and Will took care of her. I knew that the love wasn’t the same but it gave hope for Ivy that she can move on.
The introduction to Guy really made me heart flutter and ache. While Ivy did her best not to hurt Will, I felt like Will deserved much better. She own him more than that. I was upset at her that she would just dropped him like that and pay attention to Guy.
Now Guy was definitely a good and bad surprise. Good because he made Ivy happy. Bad because I had no idea that thing would happen like that. I was shocked and happy. But my heart ache for Will. Again, I was left with a cliff hanger which no doubtingly tick me off. Now I must want to see what happens next.
I give it 5 BITES!
Happy Reading!

OMG! I read the first three books and cried most of the time. My heart ached for what happened to Tristan because he shouldn’t have died! And he wouldn’t have died if that other guy would have realized that Ivy didn’t know anything. 😀
I’m happy that that wasn’t the end of the series but if what you say it’s true and there’s another cliff hanger in this one…well, I’m going to be mad and happy at the same time.
Sounds great!! I am looking for something to move onto after I have finished the House of Night series and this sounds pretty perfect!
I love Elizabeth Chandler and can’t wait to read this! Great review 🙂
Sounds great! I got a UK review copy of this and I was confused as the press release said it was a new series. I guess it’s just continued on from the other three books. Confusion!
I love that cover! Sounds good too…
Great review. I really want to read this series. I love a good paranormal with lots of romance 🙂
I admit you liked this more than I did, but it is because I had not read the first 3. *sigh* I need to stop doing that! lol Great review. I can see what I missed with the first 3.
That cover is striking, and you definitely piqued my interest in this one!
I’m reading this now! LOVE! I thought Kissed by an Angel was a stand-alone book, (Well, one that didn’t continue the story between Tristen and Ivy. I’ve read the other short story books.) so I was surprised when I saw Evercrossed. And you’re telling me there’s going to be more? I need a happy ending!
This is the first review I have seen for this one. It sounds really good. Wow, that cover. Wow.
ooooh interesing book, sounds like a nice series!
great review Savy! =D
I’m in completely inlove with the books! One of my all time favorites! The way Evercrossed ended left me hungry for more! And I hope Chandler is willing to feed my appetite! I’m anxious to know whether their be a next book or not. I reeally hope there is! Ill be quiet dissapointed if there isn’t! A MUST READ!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!
Kissed by an Angel was AMAZING! I recommended it to anyone and everyone. Elizabeth Chandler is an amazing author. Not only should you read Evercrossed, but you DEFINATLY need to read the Dark Secrets series because that is just an amazing series as well. She has a way with the paranormal, love, and suspense. Amazing read, but better yet, an amazing author 😀
