Review: Neverland Evermore by Sarah J. Pepper

Neverland Evermore
Sarah J. Pepper

Publication date: June 11th 2016
Genres: Fantasy, Romance, Young Adult

Neverland has a way of breaking people. It corrupts souls. It destroys hope. The evil festering inside it brings out the darkness in our hearts and leaves us worse than dead. No good has ever come from it. Ever.
It is where I was born.
Therefore, darkness is all I know. Corruption is in my bones. So when I see him, I mean to win his heart and then break him. I mean to lure him to my arms and then destroy him. But it is his intentions and his wicked smile that deter me…at least until a lost soul from my past catches up with us.
My world ignites into flames. My love’s sinks to the depths of the sea. We are from two different worlds that overlap for a brief moment in time. But it is that moment which carries me forward. It is that moment in which he lives in the past. It is that moment in which I embrace my true nature and seek vengeance against those responsible for feeding his hand to that godforsaken alligator.

REVIEW

I've read quite a few re-tellings of Peter Pan, but never one quite like this. It was fantastic.

It still held all the mystery and magic that came with the original story, but Pepper gave it a bit of a dark twist, turning Peter into a devious character, nothing like the immortal boy we're all so used to, and painting Neverland in a new light. She also made a certain Captain seem more real and likeable.

I loved Pepper's remake of Tinkerbell. She was feisty and determined - With a dark past that she so desperately wanted to escape, Bell had a good heart and soul with an inner beauty that captured the Captain. Although most would think they were an unusual pair, it only made for a more intriguing read.

This story was filled with action and adventure. Add a dash of romance, and a sprinkle of enchantment, and it was superb. I cannot wait to read more.

Release Blitz: Soulless by Sarah J. Pepper

Title: Soulless

Series: Once Wicked Series #1

Author: Sarah J. Pepper

Genre: NA Fantasy Romance

Release Date: February 23, 2016

Publisher: Neximus Publishing

Our love is imperfect in the most perfect way. It is love done our way. Raw. Unconventional. Sexy as hell. More importantly, it is honest to the core…Or so I think. One little, white lie shouldn't do so much damage. Yet, it changes me forever. The worst part is that Declan whispers that sweet nothing out of protection. My safety is in the forefront of his mind, especially since there are others who’d hurt me simply to get to him. I never consider that he will be the one to cut me so deeply. But it all starts with that first prick—the night he saves my life.

“A hauntingly amazing read.” - 5 Star Goodreads Reviewer

“It's not often you are sucked into a story so completely, but there really is no way around it with Soulless.” - 5 Star Review A Cup and a Book

“This is quite a story. It is a story of demons. A story of a special demon and the deals he makes with living people.” - 5 Star Goodreads Reviewer

His perilous stare deepened as his grip fastened around my waist. As maniacal thoughts passed over his eyes, his grasp tightened. That look confirmed that I wasn’t the only one who wanted all the space between us eliminated. I could hardly breathe when his gaze fell to my lips. It left me without words. It was the very way a passing glance could leave you speechless. But Declan didn’t just take a glimpse. No, he unapologetically looked me over. He loved me in not so many words, but I heard them all the same. I heard them with each moan that echoed in the air. I felt them as he held me gently in his arms. Even if I didn’t feel the desire radiating off of him in a fury of passion, he bore that intensity in his gaze. The world around us melted away until there was only me and him.

About the Series “Once Wicked”

@unconventionaldamsels who rock piercings, refuse to conform to society’s rules, and aren’t obsessed with labels, check out the “Once Wicked” series. Happily Ever After doesn't define the misunderstood evil villains we love to hate. Their story is so much deeper than their fairy princess counterparts, yet were never told. That's a damn shame. They aren't always as wicked as they are made out to be. Well, not all of them. So until the clock strikes midnight and the (other) glass shoe drops, enjoy these not-so-Prince-Charming book boyfriends in this modern series, #OnceWicked.

REVIEW

I was super excited, when I started reading this story, to realize that it was the continuation of the short I had read in the Fairy Tale Confessions Anthology. Piper and Declan’s story was enthralling, so to be able to get right back into the action was fantastic.

Another thing that was really thrilling about this story was Pepper’s reimagining of other fairy tale characters, with the likes of Gepetta, Ula, and Hans and El – not to mention the creepy, Opie. I loved how they were all linked, with Pepper breathing new life into their stories, while still staying true to their origins.

Piper and Declan’s romance was filled with crater-sized chasms that often tried to derail them and force them apart. With some many people out to get Declan, wanting to use Piper to hurt him, and his need to shield her from the life he’d forced on her, things were not going to be easy for them.

When Gepetta’s plan to destroy Declan’s happiness came to fruition, I truly believed he’d lost Piper for good, and with the ending, I’m not sure if I’ll be proven wrong. I do hope so. I cannot wait to continue on this journey with the most likable pair of demons I’ve ever come to know.
