History Literature / Evernight

'''''Evernight''''' is a series of young adult ParanormalRomance novels, published between 2008 and 2012. The series was written by Creator/ClaudiaGray (real name Amy Vincent); ''Evernight'' (2008) was her debut novel.

* BigBadEnsemble: Black Cross (or some of them at least), the wraiths, Charity and [[spoiler: Mrs Bethany]] are all major antagonists for most of the series, and they generally all have their own goals or are directly in opposition to each other.

* RewatchBonus: Many scenes in the first half of ''Evernight'', after TheReveal that it's a school for vampires and Bianca's one too. And again when Lucas turns out to be a member of Black Cross.
* RichBitch: A fair few of the Evernight types could be described as such. Raquel at one point literally refers to them as "rich bitches".

* WritersCantDoMath: In the first book, Bianca briefly mentions that her parents were together for "nearly 350 years" until they had her; in the first book Bianca is sixteen and based on the assumption ''Evernight'' takes place in 2008 (the year it was published), she was likely born in 1992. However, in the second book it's established that Celia and Adrian first got together after he turned her into a vampire following the Great Fire of London, which took place in 1666, 326 years before Bianca was born (if it was 350 years later, Bianca would've been born in 2016). It's possible that it was just Bianca exaggerating or getting it slightly wrong (over three hundred years of marriage is still impressive either way).

* YourCheatingHeart:
** Skye suspects her ex-boyfriend Craig of this, as he starts going out with Britnee immediately after dumping Skye. However, it's subverted; Craig, while he had feelings for Britnee, deliberately ended things with Skye first before acting on them to avoid this trope.
** Played with in ''Stargazer'', where Bianca pretends to go out with Balthazar, whilst still being in a {{long distance relationship}} with Lucas. Lucas knows their relationship is fake, but it still understandably causes some tension between them (further complicated by the fact Bianca ends up developing feelings for Balthazar). However, she doesn't do anything about it until [[spoiler:she and Lucas break up]], and she [[spoiler:ends up picking Lucas anyway]].

** [[BadassLesbian Dana]], along with the majority of the female members of Black Cross (although some them stray into DarkActionGirl territory).

%%* EarnYourHappyEnding:
** [[spoiler: Bianca]] and [[spoiler: Lucas]] definitely.
** [[spoiler: Raquel]].
** [[spoiler: Skye]] and [[spoiler: Balthazar. Dear ''god'', Balthazar]].

!!Evernight contains examples of:

The series (with the exception of ''Balthazar'') revolves around Bianca Olivier, a teenage girl attending the mysterious [[AcademyOfAdventure Evernight Academy]], where she doesn't seem to fit in with the [[RichBitch snooty]], [[TheBeautifulElite predatory students]]. Bianca falls in love with a fellow outsider named Lucas Ross, but their relationship is threatened when they find themselves caught on opposite sides of a deadly conflict between [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]] and [[VampireHunter the humans that hunt them]]. Surrounded by enemies on both sides and not knowing who to trust, Bianca and Lucas can only rely on each other to survive and uncover the secrets behind Evernight Academy. The series often draws comparisons to ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'', for obvious reasons.

The fifth book, ''Balthazar'', is technically a direct continuation of the series, but focuses on the secondary characters, Balthazar More and Skye Tierney. It revolves around the vampire Balthazar's mission to protect Skye from his [[IHateYouVampireDad evil sire]], whilst coming to terms with [[DarkAndTroubledPast his dark past]] and struggling with his growing affection for Skye.

The series often draws comparisons to ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'', for obvious reasons.

There's also a SpinOff novel, ''Balthazar'' (2012); although it's technically a direct continuation of the series, it focuses on the secondary characters, Balthazar More and Skye Tierney.

** Raquel’s parents just about qualify, for basically ignoring their daughter’s existence and forcing her go to Evernight. ** Lucas’s mother Kate, for forcing him to become a VampireHunter from childhood and later for [[spoiler:trying to kill him after he’s turned into a vampire.]]

* AllGhoulsSchool: Evernight Academy is a school for [[spoiler: vampires to find sanctuary and learn how to fit into modern society. In the second book, it gets haunted by ghosts as well]]. Subverted somewhat in that they also let in human students, though they aren't supposed to find out about the Academy's true nature.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: [[spoiler: ''Balthazar'']] ends like this, with the leads [[spoiler: preparing to ride off into the night to an uncertain future, but glad that the BigBad is defeated and they can finally be together]].

** Kate and Eduardo.

** Raquel and Dana beginning in ''Hourglass''.

* BigBadEnsemble: Black Cross (or some of them at least), the wraiths, Charity and [[spoiler: Mrs Bethany]] are all major antagonists for most of the series, who generally all have their own goals or are directly in opposition to each other.

** Bianca temporarily towards her parents in ''Stargazer'', though she [[RebuiltPedestal eventually gets over it]] after realising that, although they lied to her, they truly love her.

* DysfunctionalFamily: The Mores, very much so. Lucas’s family may count too.

* {{Jerkass}}: Eduardo, Milos, Erich and Bianca's boss at Hamburger Rodeo.

* OddballInTheSeries: ''Balthazar'', arguably. In terms of content and tone, it's the same as the other books, but it stands out due to being the only book in the series to be written in the third person, rather than first person, as well as the only book to not focus on Bianca. It also has many interludes or flashbacks to Balthazar's past, which has never happened in the series before (though to be fair, Bianca doesn't have nearly four centuries of life experience).

* OfficialCouple: Bianca and Lucas as of the first novel. They break up in ''Stargazer'' [[spoiler: but are back together by the end and remain a couple beyond the end of the series]]. In the SpinOff, Balthazar and Skye [[spoiler: who are also still together by the series' end]].

* PimpedOutDress: Bianca gets to wear two at the Autumn Ball in ''Evernight'' and ''Stargazer''. Skye gets to wear one to the Ball as well, and another one to her Homecoming Dance.

* RewatchBonus: Many scenes in the first half of ''Evernight'', after TheReveal that [[spoiler: it's a school for vampires and Bianca's one too]]. And again when [[spoiler: Lucas turns out to be a member of Black Cross]].

* SecretRelationship: Bianca and Lucas in the second book (well, his family friends know about it, but hers don't).

* SilkHidingSteel: Patrice and Mrs Bethany.

* StarCrossedLovers: Bianca and Lucas play this very straight, complete with references to ''Romeo and Juliet''. [[spoiler: It works out okay for them]].

* StraightGay: Dana and Raquel.

* TykeBomb: Lucas and possibly Dana. Both were raised to [[spoiler: hunt vampires]] from childhood.

** Raquel is clearly second best to her sister Frida.

* VegetarianVampire: Zig-zagged. Most of the [[FriendlyNeighbourhoodVampire friendlier vampires]] live primarily on animal blood; however even they occasionally drink human blood. Adrian and Celia keep human blood from blood banks in their apartment as "treats", whilst [[spoiler: Bianca]] frequently feeds off [[spoiler: Lucas]], [[KissOfTheVampire who actually rather enjoys this]]. Bianca makes a point of stating that being a veggie vamp is easier for most vampires, because humans have a tendency to to scream and fight back (she likens it to trying to eat a hamburger that can punch you in the face). However, Balthazar states that all vampires need to consume human blood at some point, as animal blood alone doesn't cut it and could result in some SanitySlippage. However, the nicer vampires prefer using blood banks or willing donors than just jumping on people.

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Balthazar has shades of this. [[spoiler: Mrs Bethany]] turns out to have this too.
* WillingChanneler: [[spoiler: Skye]] willingly allows [[spoiler: Bianca]] to possess her to save Evernight and it's implied [[spoiler: Bianca's]] temporary possession [[spoiler: awoke Skye's psychic abilities]].

* {{Yandere}}: Charity has shades of this towards her brother Balthazar, of the non-romantic kind.

** Played with in ''Stargazer'', where Bianca pretends to go out with Balthazar, whilst still being in a long distance relationship with Lucas. Lucas knows their relationship is fake, but it still understandably causes some tension between them (further complicated by the fact Bianca ends up developing feelings for Balthazar). However, she doesn't do anything about it until [[spoiler:she and Lucas break up]], and she [[spoiler:ends up picking Lucas anyway]].

* AbusiveParents: Raquel’s parents just about qualify, for basically ignoring their daughter’s existence and forcing her go to Evernight. Lucas’s mother Kate may count, for [[spoiler: forcing him to become a VampireHunter from childhood and later for trying to kill him after he’s turned into a vampire.]]

* ActionGirl: [[BadassLesbian Dana]]. Bianca and Skye get moments too, as do the majority of the female members of Black Cross (although some them stray into DarkActionGirl territory). [[MamaBear Celia]] and [[SilkHidingSteel Patrice]] get to do some ass-kicking as well.

* AlphaBitch: Courtney and arguably Madison.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: [[spoiler: ''Balthazar'']] ends somewhat like this, with the leads [[spoiler: preparing to ride off into the night to an uncertain future, but glad that the BigBad is defeated and they can finally be together]].

* AssholeVictim: A few examples, with a prominent one being [[spoiler: Erich]].

* BackFromTheDead:
** [[spoiler: Lucas (twice)]]. In ''Hourglass'', [[spoiler: Charity]] kills [[spoiler: him]] but he [[spoiler: comes back as a vampire. He then gets stabbed by a stake soaked in holy water, leaving him as good as dead, but Bianca uses her wraith powers to resurrect him - permanently, as a human]].

** Lucas and Bianca (though Lucas does most of the fighting).
** [[spoiler: Mrs Bethany]] and [[spoiler: Christopher, when he was alive]].
* TheBeautifulElite: The 'Evernight types'.

* BetaCouple: Raquel and Dana. Craig and Britnee in ''Balthazar''.
* BetterAsFriends: Bianca and [[spoiler: Balthazar]]. Raquel and Vic, due in no small part to Raquel being a lesbian.

* BewareTheQuietOnes: Ranulf.

** Skye may count too, seeing as her [[spoiler: psychic abilities give her terrifying visions of people suffering sudden or violent deaths every time she happens across the place where they died, she actually physically experiences their last moments, she has no way to turn it off and dangerous vampires are now constantly out to get her because of them. It gets better when she starts to learn to cope with them more effectively.]]

* BoyMeetsGhoul: Basically the main plot of the series ([[spoiler: Lucas, a human, falls for Bianca, a half vampire/wraith]]).
* BreakTheCutie: Poor, poor Charity.

** Skye, somewhat. Her older brother was killed in a freak accident, causing her parents to withdraw into themselves, never talking about it, constantly working away from home and leaving Skye to deal with her grief alone. Her boyfriend dumped her for another girl shortly after sleeping with her for the first time, and she survived a vampire war/ghost apocalypse only to be stuck with powers that [[spoiler: cause her to see traumatic visions of people dying]], which also makes her a target for evil vampires who seek to enslave her.

* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: Stakes soaked in holy water. Bianca’s brooch and bracelet. Raquel's bracelet.]]

* DarkActionGirl: Mrs Bethany, Charity and Constantia.

* EarnYourHappyEnding:

* ElaborateUniversityHigh: Evernight Academy. Justified, in that it's actually [[spoiler: a sanctuary for vampires]].

* FriendlyGhost:

* GothicHorror: Has some of the trappings of this genre, such as [[HauntedHeroine Haunted Heroines]] (both literally and figuratively), a [[BigFancyHouse fancy]] but [[OldDarkHouse eerie]] old building with a secret past (and literal [[HauntedHouse ghosts]]!) as the main setting, [[StarcrossedLovers forbidden love]], [[ByronicHero brooding love interests]] with [[DarkAndTroubledPast Dark and Troubled Pasts]], a reasonable amount of {{Angst}}, [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]] and more than a few [[DarkSecret Dark Secrets]] dragged to light. It's even set primarily in LovecraftCountry.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Vic and Ranulf.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Black Cross can be this, especially the New York cell.

* {{Hybrid}}: [[spoiler: Bianca]] is half human, half vampire. [[spoiler: Lucas]] may also count, as [[spoiler: he]] starts to gain vampire abilities but is still human.
* IceQueen: Mrs Bethany.

** Bianca has a habit of picking this one up. Examples include [[spoiler: trusting a random vampire she has just met and ''going to his apartment'', leading her into a trap set up by Charity, even though she ''knows'' by now that not all vampires are friendly or trustworthy, and in the same book, sending her parents an email from an internet café even after Lucas told her they could track it and thus find her]].
** Lucas, on two occasions. In the first book, [[spoiler: telling Bianca his great-great grandfather went to Evernight, when in actual fact no humans had been admitted to Evernight before. In fairness, at the time he believed Bianca was just an ordinary human student, but she could still have mentioned it to her parents or one of the vampire students and aroused their suspicion]]. Also, [[spoiler: jumping in front of Bianca when the vampire hunters try to spray her with holy water. True, he didn’t want his girlfriend being harmed, but in doing so he reveals he himself is part vampire due to allowing Bianca to feed from him, thus destroying any chance he had of negotiating with Black Cross]].

** Lucas ([[spoiler: human, later a vampire, then human again]]) and Bianca ([[spoiler: half vampire, later a wraith]]).

* ItsPersonal: Possibly for Lucas. He reveals that [[spoiler: vampires killed his father when he was young.]] Later, Kate, due to the vampires [[spoiler: killing [[CartwrightCurse both her husbands]] and [[MamaBear trying to kill her son]]]].

* NoPeriodsPeriod: Initially played straight, then averted in the fourth novel. A vampire boy makes some icky comments about a human being "on the rag". Bianca, having not really thought about the fact vampires could smell when a girl is on her period, is instantly mortified by the implication that every vampire she's spent time around always knew when she was menstruating.

* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Subverted for both [[spoiler: Lucas and Bianca]]. [[spoiler: She]] is revealed to be a vampire part way through the first book; [[spoiler: Lucas]] turns out to be a vampire hunter at the end of it.

** Arguably Skye’s parents too, who spend most of their time lobbying and leave their daughter to her own devices, though they’re not nearly as malicious as Raquel’s parents and it's sort of justified in that they’re grieving for their dead son.

* PowerOfLove: Lucas decides his love for Bianca is stronger than [[spoiler: his indoctrinated prejudice towards vampires]], effectively kick-starting most of the events in the series. Also, in the fourth book, Bianca uses [[spoiler: her wraith blood to turn Lucas human again]] – Balthazar believes it only worked because of the connection between Lucas and Bianca.

* RedheadsAreUncool: Bianca has very obvious red hair and is considered a geeky, [[SociallyAwkwardHeroine socially awkward]], [[BookWorm bookworm]]. It's implied that she could be 'cool' if she really tried, but she figures out early on she'd prefer to stay a loser than change herself to fit in with the 'Evernight types' (probably not a bad thing seeing how most of them are snobs and assholes who bully outcast students). It also doesn't stop [[HeroesWantRedheads the heroes from wanting her]].

** Lucas turns out to be right about [[spoiler: Bianca's parents lying to her]] (just not quite in the same way he initially thought).

* CoolOldGuy: Mr Watanabe.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Balthazar, Mrs Bethany, Raquel and Lucas.

* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Mrs Bethany pulled one in her backstory, going from vampire hunter to human-murdering vampire, after her husband was murdered.]]

* FromBadToWorse: ''Hourglass'' is essentially ''From Bad To Worse: The Novel''.

* GothicHorror: Has some of the trappings of this genre, such as [[HauntedHeroine Haunted Heroines]] (both literally and figuratively), a [[BigFancyHouse fancy]] but [[DarkOldHouse eerie]] old building with a secret past (and literal [[HauntedHouse ghosts]]!) as the main setting, [[StarcrossedLovers forbidden love]], [[ByronicHero brooding love interests]] with [[DarkAndTroubledPast Dark and Troubled Pasts]], a reasonable amount of {{Angst}}, [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]] and more than a few [[DarkSecret Dark Secrets]] dragged to light. It's even set primarily in LovecraftCountry.

* JerkAss: Eduardo, Milos, Erich and Bianca's boss at Hamburger Rodeo.

* JerkWithAHeartofGold: Lucas can come across as this, as can Patrice.
* KickTheDog: Charity killing [[spoiler: Courtney and Lucas]], Redgrave killing [[spoiler: Jane]].

* LoveTriangle: Bianca, Lucas and Balthazar (but it only lasts for about two books) are in a [[TriangRelations Type 4 triangle]]. Also, Courtney, Balthazar and Bianca…well, at least Courtney [[ImaginaryLoveTriangle thinks so]]. Bianca is [[spoiler: [[BetterAsFriends never really all that interested in Balthazar romantically]]]] and Balthazar makes it pretty clear that he dislikes Courtney, not that it’ll deter her.

* MyGreatestFailure: Balthazar regards turning his sister into a vampire and letting her run away from Evernight as this…other characters argue that Charity made her own choices and is pretty much a psychopath to boot.

* OfficialCouple: Bianca and [[spoiler: Lucas]], Balthazar and [[spoiler: Skye]].

* PregnancyScare: Briefly comes up in ''Hourglass'' after Bianca starts to get sick, even though she and Lucas always use protection. [[spoiler: It turns out she's not pregnant...just dying]].

* {{Fingore}}: In ''Afterlife'', Lucas punches a tree until his skin is shredded and his finger bones are exposed. [[spoiler: Being a vampire, he heals quickly, but its still horrific.]]

** [[spoiler: Christopher. Yes, he was trying to kill Bianca, but its only because he believes (rightly) that she was born to be a wraith and that, as a wraith, she would be able to help many people, whilst as a vampire, she would merely “be one of many”. He saves Bianca and Lucas from vampires on a number of occasions, attempts to communicate with her to explain his actions, offers her helpful advice and support and later sacrifices himself to save her.]]

* MamaBear: Celia towards Bianca. Kate towards Lucas...well, until he [[spoiler: becomes a vampire]].

** Bianca and Lucas are making out and Bianca [[spoiler: accidently bites him and knocks him unconscious.]]
** They’re making out again and Bianca thinks Lucas wants her to [[spoiler: turn him into a vampire – turns out he was actually talking about sex and abhors the idea of being a vampire]]. Bianca really doesn't have the best luck when it comes to these kinds of things...

* OddballInTheSeries: ''Balthazar'', arguably. In terms of content and tone, it's the same as the other books, but it stands out due to being the only book in the series to be written in third person, rather than first person, as well as the only book to not focus on Bianca. It also has many interludes or flashbacks to Balthazar's past, which has never happened in the series before (though to be fair, Bianca doesn't have nearly four centuries of life experience).

* OddFriendship: Vic and Ranulf. Vic’s a laid-back high schooler with a love for all things quirky who wears Hawaiian shirts beneath his blazer, Ranulf is a thousand year old vampire raised by Viking warriors who thinks iPods are powered by spirits.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Vampires can have children (although its extremely rare) and staking doesn’t kill them, but renders them unconscious. Sunlight only kills them if they haven’t fed for a while; other than that, it doesn’t really seem to bother them.

** Arguably Skye’s parents too, who spend most of their time lobbying and leave their daughter to her own devices, though they’re not nearly as malicious as Raquel’s parents and its sort of justified in that they’re grieving for their dead son.

** In ''Evernight'' [[spoiler: Bianca is half vampire and was born that way]], [[spoiler: Lucas is a member of Black Cross]].
** In ''Stargazer'' [[spoiler: Bianca was conceived with the wraiths' help and now they want her to become one of them as payment]].
** In ''Hourglass'' [[spoiler: If Bianca doesn't become a full vanpire, she automatically becomes a wraith and a very powerful one at that]].

* SecretRelationship: Bianca and Lucas in the second book (well, his family friends know about it, but her's don't).

* ShipTease: Raquel and Dana in ''Stargazer'' (they become a couple in the next book). Bianca and Balthazar, primarily in ''Stargazer'', though its [[spoiler: pretty much sunk by ''Hourglass'']].

** [[spoiler: Lucas and Bianca]] in ''Hourglass''. Though it isn't clear if it's [[spoiler: Lucas']] first time ever, it's the first time he's been intimate with [[spoiler: Bianca (who was a virgin prior to this)]].

** [[spoiler: Mrs Bethany]] – [[spoiler: her]] beloved husband was betrayed and murdered by people he considered friends, and the organisation [[spoiler: she]] risked [[spoiler: her]] life for and served loyally for years basically said “Oh sorry, nothing we can do” when they got off scot free, so [[spoiler: she]] becomes the creature she hates most to avenge him and then spends the next several centuries trying to find a way to be reunited with him in the afterlife.
** Charity, too; her parents were murdered and her older brother attacked her and then turned her into a vampire to ‘save’ her, trapping her in a fourteen year old’s body.

** Played with in ''Stargazer'', where Bianca pretends to go out with Balthazar, whilst still being in a long distance relationship with Lucas. Lucas knows their relationship is fake, but it still understandably causes some tension between them (further complicated by the fact Bianca ends up developing feelings for Balthazar). However, she doesn't do anything about it until [[spoiler: she and Lucas break up]], and she [[spoiler: ends up picking Lucas anyway]].

* PowerOfLove: Lucas decides his love for Bianca is stronger than his indoctrinated prejudice towards vampires, effectively kick-starting most of the events in the series. Also, in the fourth book, Bianca uses [[spoiler: her wraith blood to turn Lucas human again]] – Balthazar believes it only worked because of the connection between Lucas and Bianca.

* AxCrazy: Charity. Just, Charity. Her hobbies include murdering people, her extremely unhealthy, love-hate obsession with [[CainAndAbel her brother]] ((which extends to [[StalkerWithoutACrush stalking]] his love interest ''and'' her love interest), chucking people into dried out diving pools for the '[[ForTheEvulz lols]]' and decapitating people with [[KnifeNut knives]]. Even ''other vampires'' are terrified of her because of utterly batshit insane she is.
