Title: NEVERLAND
Author: Melissa Jane
Genre: Romantic Thriller
Release Date: October 2, 2018
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.
Seeing her for the first time since she’d 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.
Momma Says: 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is not a fairytale romance (or maybe it is if you've ever read any of the original stories), you won't find much in the way of fluff here either. It's disturbingly dark and twisted, and it's absolutely heart-wrenching. So much so, that I actually almost DNF'd it, but here's the thing - I couldn't not finish. I had to know how it all played out. Lucy's life is one of heartache and heartbreak with an extra helping of hopelessness, except somehow, she manages to hold onto some hope even when there doesn't seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel. The story is loaded with graphic violence and detailed abuse, so it's certainly not for the squeamish or those with triggers - I don't fit either category, but this one disturbed me to no end. This author does dark like nobody's business, and I'm not talking just regular dark - Nope, this one is like that pitch black, deep in the night, no stars in the sky kind of dark. Melissa Jane pulls the reader through that darkness, then teases with a glimmer of light, only to extinguish that spark. Then she does it all over again, right up to an absolutely jaw-dropping conclusion. In the end, I waffled on my rating for this one, but when I thought about it, I have to admit this author made me feel things. They may not have been good things, and I was furious with the story and these characters more than once, but I did feel. When a book stirs up the emotion that this one did, the author has done her job and done it well.
Melissa Jane is a writer of strong Alpha’s and feisty heroines. Her love for action and romance means she puts her characters through some epic adventures and compromising situations, all with a healthy dose of uncontrollable passion.
Residing on the beautiful beachy Gold Coast in Australia, Melissa enjoys the year-round sunshine with her gorgeous husband and even more gorgeous furbaby, Pocket-the-Yorkie.
When she’s not working, you’ll often find her with a glass (ahem…bottle) of Sauvignon in hand, seeking out adventure with her just-as-crazy friends.
