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 crocodile.

**About the Author**
![](https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1359423470p5/5762464.jpg)
Award Winning Author, Sarah J. Pepper, specializes in fantasy and paranormal romance. She unveils the beauty of love in her new adult/young adult novels. Her works envelope dark, paranormal romance - think "happy ever after" but with a twisted, dark chocolate center. Real-life romance isn't only filled with hugs, kisses, bunnies, and rainbows. True-love can be more thoroughly described in times of darkness and tribulation. It's in those harsh moments where you see what a person is truly capable of - both the good and bad. Sometimes prince-charming isn't always on time, and the glass slipper is a little snug. However, it doesn't mean Charming is not Mr. Right, and who says every shoe is the perfect fit?
Sarah J. Pepper lives in South Dakota with her real-life prince charming. At a young age, she fell for paranormal books and now incorporates that genre with romance that thrives in the hears of us all. When she's not storytelling, she's most likely biking, hoarding chocolate, or taking a bubble bath.

*My Thoughts*
Note: This review contains NO spoilers
Sarah J. Pepper has done it again! This is the second dark fantasy book of hers that I have read...and the amazing twists on fairytales and romance she writes really grabs me! This time, Neverland Evermore is a twist on the classic Peter Pan tale. A quick read, yet holds a lot of intrigue and detail. This is definitely not your ordinary fairytale. It's not what is traditionally expected...haha! But...this is no doubt an intense read. Told in the POV of Bell and Captain James, many of the familiar characters are portrayed through their eyes. Moreover, a romance develops in this story which gets you involved with their struggle.
I enjoyed the telling between past and present which helped make the connections among the characters. It was pretty fascinating and gritty to read a story with a dark side to these classic characters. Either way, "happy ever after" is not necessarily the conclusion to this story. Plus, it was an engrossing read through the eyes of two other characters, not necessarily Peter Pan.
Neverland Evermore is a dark and twisty take on a classic tale of fantasy and magic. A non-stop action/adventure into dark fantasy...with some elements of horror...that will keep you on the "edge of your seat" wanting more!
