Nevermore
I was intrigued by Nevermore ever since I first heard about it. I’m a big fan of Edgar Allan Poe, so the idea of tying his work into YA fantasy-esque novel piqued my interest. While I had a few small problems with Nevermore, I definitely chose to read this creepy story at the right time of year.The plot of this story is definitely original. Unfortunately, I thought that Creagh could have done a slightly better job of executing it. A lot of thought went into carefully putting this story together and tying in a good deal of foreshadowing. While that is something I appreciate, I almost felt like the build up slowed down the story a bit too much. This wasn’t helped by the fact that the writing ventured on being a bit too dramatic and repetitive at times.Otherwise, Nevermore was a fantastic story. The characters were particularly likable, especially Varen. Some people might find Varen boring, but I liked that he was creative and had a side that was willing to stand up for himself. He had both a snarky edge and a romantic side, and I think Creagh nailed his character by not overdoing the sensitivity. I loved Isobel because it felt like she wasn’t just following the herd.By the last one hundred pages, I was unable to put this book down. Nevermore had action, romance and a serious creep factor. Creagh left us hanging, so I will be eagerly awaiting future installments in this series.
