Alyson Noel said...

Jenna & Maysen-- Hmmm, good guess!!

Valencia- Thank you so much, I"m so glad you're enjoying the books! As for "copying Twilight" I don't really get that since my books are not about vampires, they're about immortals through alchemy, and they involve chakras, near death experiences, magick, crystals, a mystical dimension,ghosts, time travel, reincarnation, past lives, etc etc, and, to my knowledge ( I only read her first book, not the rest of the series) hers don't. Still, I'm so glad you're enjoying it, and really appreciate your support! Thanks for stopping by!

And yeah, it's Damen--good guess!

Alyson, you are killing us with these teasers !!

In my opinion, this is probably going to be the best bok so far in the series.

There is so much ground already laid out and yet so much to explore.

I guess it is going to have a darker tone, and not kust because Ever is playing with fire (ehehehe dark flame ...) with all the magick she doesn't understand, but also because of Haven's point of view, which I guess will be a stronger voice in the narrative !

Haven sees things diferently from Ever and is quite enchanted by the dark side and perilous things (liek her attraction to Roman ...).

I am guessing it will help Ever lose the two-dimensional-black-and-white approach she often uses. IMO It will be a growth book, which I can't wait for !!!!!!
Again, in my opinion, Ever has some ground to cover before truly being with Damen, since he's been around for centuries, he's done a lot of things, and she is still a teenager. Ok, she's been through her share of pain and suffering, but still ... only 17 ... and compared to the centuries he's had before her, it is a great gap and it is quite evident in the first 3 books and the change in Damen's behavior (from the carefree playboy/stay away from me to the karma-comes-back-to-get-you/let's-play-parents-to-the-twins ...)

And now since I have officialy rambled too much and made a huge nonsensical post, I finish bay saying: I can't believe I won't be home when Amazon delivers my Dark Flame copy !!!!!!!!!!!!

;)

Cheers from Brazil !!!!

Finally one about Damen! I thought you threw him out of the book. :P
4 more days until I get the book I've had preordered for monthes, can't wait! :)
Btw, You said once that you like it when we send you songs that go with the books so...

Alyson Noel said...

Roberta- Wow, you've made some really good points and I love how you have such a good grasp of the characters & the story & what it's really about! Dark Flame is a little darker for sure, and Ever has a lot to handle in this one--but it's the challenges in life that provide the most growth, right? Hope you enjoy it!
:)

Madison- Haha- yep, Damen's still around . . .And thanks so much for the song recommend, I'm off to iTunes . . .

Thank God it's Damen!!! I would be heartbroken if it weren't! Only 4 more days! My friends and I are going to get it together! Ms. Noel, I have always liked to read, but your books are truly addicting! When I read Evermore, it got me hooked on this wonderful genre of literature, Dark Romance, and for that I thank you!!!
