21	!!Provides Examples Of:
22	%%Zero Context Example * ActuallyNotAVampire: Damen.
23	* AerithAndBob: The characters have names like Ever, Haven, Honor etc., while mystical places have names like Summerland and Shadowland that sound more like names for theme parks.
24	* AlphaBitch:
25	** Stacia -- the self-appointed bane of Ever's high school existence, because Ever has the audacity of being a loner who wears hoodies and sits in the back of the class.
26	** Stacia's role as the AlphaBitch[[spoiler: gets taken over by Haven]] in ''Night Star.'' Ever offers to help her get it back, but only if she agrees to start being nicer.
27	* AntiClimax: In ''Evermore'', [[spoiler:[[BigBad Drina]] is about to kill Ever, but then she just drops down dead. Why? Because she had no love in her heart]].
28	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: When Ever talks about Haven's life she mentions that her father's trips aren't for "business", her mother's personal trainer is ''very'' personal, and that her brother broke her Music/{{Evanescence}} CD.
29	* CantHaveSexEver: Zigzagged. During the previous centuries, Ever managed to die a virgin every time, for no particular reason. So Damen doesn't want to hasten anything. Later, they are forbidden to touch.
30	* CarryingTheAntidote: Roman, and eventually [[spoiler: Haven after his death]] carry the antidote to the antidote that makes Ever and Damen unable to touch.
31	* CursedWithAwesome: Rather than try to control or find practical uses for her psychic abilities, Ever chooses to gripe about them and find short-term solutions for blocking them out. It's later subverted; [[spoiler:she does gain control and stops seeing her powers as a curse.]]
32	* DrowningMySorrows: Upon discovering that alcohol mutes her psychic powers she becomes a binge drinker [[spoiler: and nearly gets expelled from school for it]]
33	* {{Expy}}: Ever is [[Literature/{{Twilight}} special, can read minds, falls with a guy because he's hot]], [[Literature/HarryPotter lost her parents and has a scar in her forehead]].
34	%%Zero Context Example * HeelFaceTurn: Everyone, eventually.
35	* IfJesusThenAliens: Ever's reaction when she learns about immortals. Damen favors ArbitrarySkepticism.
36	* {{Hell}}: [[spoiler:The Shadowland]] for immortals, but it also exists as a place to learn from your mistakes and earn a second chance]].
37	* LonelyRichKid: After being orphaned, Ever moves in with her extremely successful, often-absent young aunt and has essentially a suite filled with all the luxuries and brand-names a teenager could dream to own. Although Ever acknowledges that this is the kind of room she would have loved owning before her family died, it now seems like a hollow consolation prize.
38	%%Zero Context Example * MayflyDecemberRomance: Every previous incarnation of Ever.
39	* OneWordTitle: Three of the six book titles are this, also counting as {{Portmantitle}}s because they're compound words:
40	** ''Evermore''
41	** ''Shadowlands'', also an example of ThePlace.
42	** ''Everlasting''
43	* OnlineAlias: The person Miles dates online in ''Evermore'' goes by hornyyoungdingdong307.
44	* ReincarnationRomance: for Ever. Damen is rather in the MayflyDecemberRomance situation.
45	* SelectiveObliviousness: Ever has a nasty habit of not reading the writing on the wall. The best example is, upon first meeting Damen, Ever realizes that he is immune to all the psychic abilities she possesses that generally drive her nuts. She even states that the only time her {{telepathy}}[=/=]aura reading[=/=]{{psychometry}} doesn't work on someone is if they're dead. Rather than find this curious or concerning, Ever chooses to fixate on the fact Damen seems to be flirting with resident AlphaBitch, Stacia. This is stated to be Ever's AchillesHeel and ultimately results in [[spoiler:her death, by virtue of being struck in the chakra associated with this weakness.]] Don't worry, [[spoiler:she recovers]].
46	* {{Shadowland}}: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Shadowland]] to Summerland.
47	* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: The protagonist's name is ''Ever Bloom'', her best friend is named Haven and one of the girls bullying her is named Honor.
48	* YourMindMakesItReal: This is how Summerland works. Damen explains to Ever that the mortal world also works this way, but it takes longer.
