Everyone is searching for Mason.

Zeus sent Hermes, and the Oracles have used their magic, with no success. A sparkle of hope arises when Eris, the goddess of Chaos, sends an invitation to her wedding engagement party. She's holding Mason hostage, and Skylar and her friends only need permission to enter Eris's world to rescue him.

At the party, Eris gives them on condition: In exchange for Mason, they must travel to the Land of Reverse and bring back the bottle of gold water King Midas used to wash himself free of his gift. Further chaos follows when Eris not only sets up a hunt in the Labyrinth of Crete, but makes a bargain with the Titans she rescued.

The Titans possess power more than anyone anticipated, and Cronus is hungry for revenge after his own children locked him up in Tartarus. No one is safe. Not even the humans.

    

*Excerpt*

Nick sprang from behind and pounded on the invisible wall. “You crazy bitch! Let my brother go.”

Hades held him back. “You’ll have to excuse him. He’s been going a bit crazy looking for his brother. I’m sure you understand.”

Eris glared and hissed, showing her perfect white teeth. “Don’t be a fool, Nick, or you’ll never see your brother. But he’s not really your brother. Isn’t he just a half-brother? Anyway, I can’t wait to call you brother-in-law. We’ll become one happy family.” She showed off her white teeth but didn’t smile.

Nick covered his ears. “Over my dead body.”

“Now, now. Behave, little one,” she scolded, waving her finger. “Or I just might give you what you wish for. Death is permanent, you know…at least for your kind.”

Nick growled, and light shot from his fingertips. Everett held him back. When Zeus gestured with his hand, Nick stilled.

Zeus focused on Eris again. “Where’s Cronus? Tell him to show himself.” His calm tone sounded confident, but I knew he feared his father.

“Cronus isn’t here.”

“Liar!” Zeus sent the lightning from his staff. It flashed into the invisible wall and burst in brightness, blinding us, but it didn’t penetrate the wall.

Eris laughed, like Zeus had told the funniest joke. “I’m the goddess of my domain. You can’t hurt me here. I call the shots, Zeus. Funny how the roles are reversed. I kind of like that. But don’t worry. You’ll see him soon enough—or not. When I say so. So, would you like to come to my party, or are we going to argue all day?” Eris brushed the side of her hair, smirking. “It’s funny how Zeus is begging to come to my party. It was the other way around before.”

“I’m not begging,” Zeus growled, his eyes crackling with electricity. His rage shook the ground. “You’re forcing me to come. Get this over with before I do something I won’t regret. And to clarify: It wasn’t my wedding. I didn’t send out the invitations, but if I had, I wouldn’t have invited you anyway.”

Eris threw a daggered glare at Zeus and waved her hand. As the invisible wall started to disintegrate, a new world materialized.

**About the Author**

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!

My rating:
