Sailing aboard her father’s trade ship is all seventeen-year-old Camille Rowen has ever wanted. But as a girl of society in 1855 San Francisco, her future is set: marry a man she doesn’t love, or condemn herself and her father to poverty.

On her final voyage before the wedding, the stormy arms of the Tasman Sea claim her father, and a terrible family secret is revealed. A secret intertwined with a fabled map, the mother Camille has long believed dead, and an ancient stone that wields a dangerous—and alluring—magic.

The only person Camille can depend on is Oscar, a handsome young sailor whom she is undeniably drawn to. Torn between trusting her instincts and keeping her promises to her father, Camille embarks on a perilous quest into the Australian wilderness to find the enchanted stone. As she and Oscar elude murderous bushrangers and unravel Camille’s father’s lies, they come closer to making the ultimate decision of who—and what—matters most.

Beautifully written and feverishly paced, Everlasting is an unforgettable journey of passion, secrecy, and adventure.

I can not believe their isn't much hype about this book! Everlasting was a great read. Angie did and excellent job tying in just the right amount of romance, mystery, and adventure. This novel will keep you on the edge of your seat, and flipping pages as fast as you can!

Camille is a very likable character. She doesn't care what people think about her. She just wants to so what she loves, which is sailing the blue oceans. Oscar is just oh so dreamy! And he has a past! :0 I loves Camille's and Oscar's relationship. It didn't just jump right into their romance, like most books now-a-days do. Their relationship was slowly built up from years of friendship. I loved Ira! A smart mouthed, quick witted, Australian. You can't help but love him.

The cover is beyond words beautiful! To be honest this is what caught my attention for this book. The light blue and purple go together perfectly.

Fans of historical fiction, romance, mystery, and/or suspense read Everlasting! I just found out that their is going to be a sequel! AHHH! It's called Eternal Sea! 

I was surprised at how much I liked this novel!
