This is a trilogy by yes, Hilary Duff. I know right? I thought the same thing and I actually found these at Garden Ridge for a STEAL so I decided to try them out. They were really good. The story was very original and I had never read anything like it. It's a love story about soul mates that go through so many obstacles to be together. He's drank an Elixer that has made him immortal and she is bound to him so much that they always find each other no matter what. What I mean by that is she is reborn into a different body and life and somehow they always meet. Yet they are also cursed in that they are always torn apart by her death, someway somehow. The main thing that drew me into the first book, Elixer, was when she figured out that "he" was in every picture since her birth. Never plain to see, always in the shadows so much that she'd have to magnify the picture so even see him, always looking the same and wearing the same clothes. After that littler discovery all bets are off and the story gets better and better.
As I've said, Elixer is the first story and Devoted the second. I did want to read these back to back and also like I said, I found these at Garden Ridge. Elixer was $2.99 and Devoted was $1.99 which is weird because Devoted is a hard back. Told you it was a STEAL!!! The third and final installment, True, won't be available until mid April. Long time to wait! If you don't like being left to wait for months on end then I wouldn't even start the series until April because after the first you'll want to read the second and the second absolutely just leaves you hanging. So you'll be pretty ticked that you have to wait until April! But the books are very good and it really surprised me that this came from Hilary Duff. Very Good, must read. Happy Reading!
