Review: Neverland

Title: Neverland
Author: Melissa Jane


Blurb:
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.

Review:

Wow. This book. First, I am sorry the review is a couple hours late. But I am writing it up now, hoping to do this book justice.
Lucy Sommers was just a kid who lived in hell. Day in and day out. She was born into a family of monsters. She had one good thing in her life, until that was taken away too. She just vanished. But he hunted her down. His obsession with her, made him more of a monster than she has ever known. Day in and day out Lucy is again forced to live in hell. She is now his, in every way... The only thing he hasn't taken from her is hope.
This book was suspenseful. It was thrilling, and terrifying, and sad. It does deal with hard topics (trigger warning: abuse- physical, sexual, emotional, and mental). Lucy has been through so much in her life, and to even want to continue living each day, despite it all, shows how truly strong she is. And I felt for her and every single thing she had been through. And I connected with her as a character. This book had me on the edge the entire time reading it. And had me hoping for justice for everything in the end. Although I feel a few parts were a little rushed, overall I give this book 4⭐ out of 5⭐. It was a great, suspenseful read that had me on the edge of me seat the entire time.
