About this listen

Love should be everything or not at all.

At least that's what I used to think.

I'm 17 now, and back in Malibu. Mama's drying out back East, and here I am living with my father and his new wife, Tiffany Blume, Hollywood harlot. At least that's what Mama calls her. I keep my distance. I just have to bide my time until I turn 18 and go off to college. Away from them; away from Seth Drake.

Seth is living his dream. Studying acting in New York City, landing a recurring role in a hit series, and grabbing my heart one last time until it breaks.

He's got fame. Fortune will likely follow.

I hate him.

I love him.

Claimed

This is the second book in this series. We move forward more on the semi-relationship between Neely and Seth. Each is moving ahead in their own life but they do come together. It’s been two years and some thing have changed but others haven’t. I felt sorry for Neely in this one. I feel she was surprised and hurt.

I did listen to this on audio and Rachelle Williams did another good job. She does more than just read. She puts feeling into the words.

Evermore...evermore.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm new to the author, the narrator but glad I took a chance. I just finished book 2 with lots of drama and a good storyline. I like the progression and development of the characters so far. Looking forward to the next book. Well done and different. Not my usual selection but this is an interesting and good series. The first book was like an introduction to the characters and there is a great flow to the series. I like Neely. She's smart and naive with layers of honesty, sweetness and heartbreak. And over time she's refreshing as you see her grow into herself. Live and Learn...Iove the time period too.

good story

Good story and I enjoy listening but so sad both books seems to end a little abruptly. But I guess it is a good way to get you on to the next book the series. 😁

Good second book with great narration

This is the first series by Andrea Smith I'm reading/listening to. Both books flashed back to different points in the timeline of the storyline. In the first book it didn't bother me as much, but I wish the author would just tell the story at this point. My heart still squeezes with pain for Neely and I'm not so happy with Seth at all. The cliff hanger on this one was brutal!! Looking forward to the next book!

Rachelle Williams is an excellent narrator. I LOVE her voice and accent. She has great talent. Her performance was flawless.

I received this audiobook as a Obsession Audiobook Reviewer.

Teenage Angst

Claimed by Andrea Smith is a wonderful story full of teenage angst, first love blossoming, hope and a gamut of emotions. Seth and Neely are the focus in this book. Rachelle Williams is wonderful bringing the characters to life. She inflicts the right emotions in her voice which add to the realistic vibe of the story. I am really enjoying this Evermore series.

Great Story!!

Enjoyed listening to this second book in the Evermore Series. We have the continuing saga of Neely’s difficult life in dealing with her evil alcoholic psycho mother and her heartbreak over the love of her life, Seth. As you listen along, you’ll learn a lot of revelations of things that were hidden from Neely by her mother that I’m sure contributed to the current problems between Seth and Neely. Rachell Williams, the narrator, does an awesome job bringing the characters to life. She is a joy to listen to. I’m anxious to listen to the next book in the series as soon as possible! I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.

Teenage Southern Beauty Neely Returns To Malibu!

Seth And Neely's Angsty Story Places A Wholesome Southern Teenage Beauty In The Midst Of The Next Generation Of The Hollywood Elite.

This is the second book in the four part Evermore series. The first part tells the story of the friendship formed between young Neely and her Malibu neighbor Seth when her family moves from Tennessee. The pair becomes best friends for years and finally transition to boyfriend and girlfriend when she is fifteen and he is sixteen. Neely wants to be an artist and enjoys painting, and Seth wants to follow in his mother's footsteps to become an actor. But when her father's affair hits the tabloids, Neely's mother returns to Tennessee, taking Neely with her. The pair keeps in touch until she breaks up with him during her one and only visit before he leaves for college in New York. Seth had wanted more from her than she was ready to give, and when his mother shared her own concerns about Neely and the relationship, Neely knew it was best they not make promises. 

In this book, Neely has returned to Malibu two years later. Her mother is finally getting the help she needs for her alcoholism, so Neely is finishing high school in California. Living with her father's mistress-turned-wife proves to be a challenge, but Neely is a survivor and makes it work. She turns to her artwork once again, the only thing that gives her purpose. 

After using her new camera to take pictures on the beach on New Year's Eve, Neely tries but doesn't escape Seth's notice. She had heard his family was out of town and thought it was safe. An awkward exchange ends quickly, but when Seth shows up drunk later that evening, he doesn't seem interested in discussing the past. 

Neely faces new challenges in this book. She is finally free from the responsibility of taking care of her mother only to be plunged into trying to get along with the woman who stole her father away. But that isnt her only challenge. Neely is by nature sweet and honest, so when Seth returns to her, she doesn't question whether the boy she has been in love with might have ulterior motives for his attentions to her. Neely cannot seem to catch a break, but as she works through her dark times and discovers new facts, she has the support of a new friend to help her through.

Neely is a compelling character. Her feelings come through the pages, and her hardship is deeply felt. Seth's love for her had been so adorable and genuine that it is difficult to see him two years later. The mystery of what happened to him when Neely left begins to unfold, but much remains to be learned. 

Seth and Neely's angsty story places a wholesome southern teenage beauty in the midst of the next generation of the Hollywood elite. Despite her father's job in the industry, Neely remains an outsider in a tough environment. The story is well-written. In this story as well as the last, the present story is told as flashbacks fill in the blanks of the past. The plot is somewhat complex. The characters are carefully crafted. They feel genuine. The story is written in first person from Neely's POV. I rate this book 4.5 stars. 


As for the Audio: it is very well performed and consistent with the book. The accent adds a lot to the story!

Book2 of 4.

I received this Audiobook from the author through Story Origin.
I didn't realize this is Book 2 of a 4 part series. I was a little lost at the beginning. And the end was so abrupt, I wondered what the....?
This piece of the story was very interesting. This girl is muddling her way from adolescence into adulthood. Hopelessly in love with a guy who is scarred himself... Her parents have issues. Struggles all around.
Well read. Well told.

keep it coming!

Claimed is book 2 in the Evermore series and it delves deeper into the Neely’s life back with her father. Finally seeing Seth, old feelings come out, but are the feelings strong enough to get them back together? Seth is in college, secrets were kept from Neely and life at her father’s is settling in. So many things are still up in the air. Her mother’s rehabilitation, Neely’s decisions for her future and the surprise at the end may just change it all. Andrea Smith has me captivated, investing my heart in these characters and I can’t wait til the next listen. Rachelle Williams keeps it fresh and emotional with her fantastic narration.
