Everlong is about the redemptive power of love
When love is a matter of life and death, it's not about losing your heart, but saving it
On a bitterly cold New Year's Eve, seventeen-year-old Evie Anderson jumps from the Old Bridge to her death.
Seeing her fall, Josh Winters plunges into the river to save her.
But Josh is the Angel of Death sent to collect her soul, and saving Evie is against the rules.
As their worlds collide, they must conquer their demons, in the battle to survive.
With Death standing between them, can love triumph as they fight for their lives?
Excerpt
Evie
I am dead inside.
I don't know when I died. I can't remember an exact time, or point to a precise moment when the lights went out. It wasn't like someone had flicked the switch off and I had ceased to exist. My death had crept up on me slowly, had deceived me, gradually seeping into my skin one molecule at a time. I had no way of fighting it because I didn't know it was happening.
I hadn't seen it coming.
And now it was too late.
It (whatever it was, I didn't know) had eaten me alive like a parasite, had crept into my bloodstream, had taken me over until I felt nothing.
Nothing; like lying on your arm in the middle of the night and stopping the blood flow so that, when you finally wake, the arm is still there but feeling dead and detached, like it doesn't belong to you.
