Neverland by Melissa Jane Release Review

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

On a fateful, stormy night, a ghost from the past revealed himself under the glow of a street lamp. A ghost whose smile was as cold and dangerous as his heart. He remembered her well. She was the one everyone talked about. The poor girl down the street born into a family of monsters. The one he’d obsessed over, taunted and harassed. The very same girl who’d one day suddenly disappeared. Accepting his hand, he lifted her off the dirty, vile street and whispered a promise, “No good deed comes without payment,” and from that day on, she was destined to pay the ultimate price. See her for the first time since she had vanished all those years ago had only made him realize his obsession never truly ended. And now, with a promise to keep, he was going to make her disappear again…this time forever.

Holy Moses!!!! What did I just read? How in the world will I ever get over this book hangover I am currently walking around with? It’s taken me a day to even try to write this review. I am going to tell you that the description of this book is what drew me to it and that is all I knew. I went into it knowing no more than what you just read and what I got was a dark dark tale of an obsession that spans the years and is so real it’s a living breathing thing. This book is dark. This book will break your heart. This book will show you that true love never ever dies. This is the story of Lucy and her worst nightmare Damian and the boy who kept saving her over and over again as children Romeo. It is told from the present and the past but all of it from Lucy’s point of view. It will haunt you and the ending will just absolutely floor you. I still do not know how I feel about it. In one sense I was shocked and in another I thought finally!! Peace. You just have to read the book to see what I am talking about but be warned if you have triggers I am sure there is something in this book that might be one. I have read a lot of dark books. A lot of horrible things have happened in those books but I don’t think I have ever hated a character as much as I hated Damian!!! He is the devil himself in human form. I have to stop before I give something away. This book deserves more than five stars and even though it was my fist time reading Melissa Jane it sure will not be my last.
