1 starNevermore is a hauntingly beautiful paranormal romance and literary homage that pulled me into a dreamscape inspired by the eerie genius of Edgar Allan Poe.Isobel Lanley, a popular cheerleader, who’s reluctantly paired with the enigmatic goth Varen Nethers for an English project. What begins as a clash of personalities soon spirals into a surreal descent into a world where nightmares bleed into reality.It's a richly layered dream realm. Mesmerizing and terrifying. The best part is that- Po...

This. Book. Is nothing like I've ever read before. Sure it starts out in a school, like most cliche books. But then it gets creepy and wicked. And considering as how it's based on Edgar Allan Poe's works...it doesn't surprise me. It excites me. :3 Also, it makes me want to read some of his pieces. And I have The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe myself, so...*hugs it tightly to my chest*I really liked loved this book because it keeps me guessing on what will happen, and what/wh...

When I picked up Nevermore I was expecting to like it. So many of my Goodreads friends rated it highly as did the overall Goodreads community. Unfortunately after finishing the novel I'm sorry to say that it was barely a two star read for me.Nevermore tells the story of Isobel Lanely, a popular blonde cheerleader, who is partnered with super goth, Varen Nethers, for an English project about Edgar Allen Poe. This pairing, which was chosen by the teacher, causes outrage among Isobel's friends. Her...

They say not to judge a book by its cover. That appearances are deceitful.I say this time you should not judge the book by how it starts off. At first, it very much looks like your garden-variety paranormal YA: jocks, cheerleaders, cliques, mean girls, emo-goths, star crossed lovers, you get the gist. There were a couple of scenes at the beginning where I thought I was probably going to ditch it if it went on like it was. But it didn't.First of all, you should be aware that underneath the shallo...

It's been a while since a YA paranormal novel truly blew me away. But Kelly Creagh's *Nevermore* did. It actually made me stay up until 3 a.m., even though I had to get up at seven the next morning (and yes, I regretted it afterwards!). If you're looking for captivating young adult book reviews, this is it. Despite the praise it got from a lot of friends here on Goodreads, I tried to keep my expectations low before starting it. Books in this genre have disappointed me many times before. After r...

What I want you to know about this book: Of all the 2010 releases I've read this year, NEVERMORE ties with Tyger Tyger as my favorite. The only drawback to it is the length of time we have to wait for the second installment! So just be prepared to take up chewing your nails, pacing, and crawling up the walls once you finish this...The basic setup for the story - loner, reclusive goth boy and Miss Peppy cheerleader are paired for an English project - just really doesn't begin to cover this epic 5...

My review can also be found on my blog Collections.O.M.G.That was my reaction, anyway, to the majority of the book. Maybe I had such a strong reaction because I started the book not realizing this was a paranormal. Yes, I read the summary, but obviously it went over my head. This is what I assumed it would be about: The goth boy, Varen, would have some mental issues (like schizophrenia), and the popular cheerleader girl, Isobel, will fall in love with him and find help for him. And they would al...

I loved this book. I wanted to love this book, but I was a little apprehensive. I mean... the goth boy and the cheerleader. Haven't I read this story before.... No, Kristi, you have not read a story quite like this one before.In addition to loving the pages in this book I also love this cover. I wish that B&N hadn't had a little hissy fit and the publisher would have been able to keep Varen's lip ring.... it was so much hotter with the lip ring. But I still love the cover regardless.The char...

**I am SO happy to be re-reading this one...My baby Varen-You never got a real review! Hope I can rectify that ♥Omg this book...it was beyond words spectacular and out of this world amazing. I don't know why I've never read this one before, but for my vacation it has been PERFECT-mesmerizing. Sitting on the beach (even at this moment), not knowing the difference between dream and reality...just breathtaking. Creepy, deep, and addicting, I am officially hooked. This series will consume my whole t...

This review is difficult to write because I usually don't have that much to say about books I love. It's mostly facial expressions, gestures and noises when I try to explain why I like something. Oh and it will look like this was written by a 17-year old, not a 27-year old. And I'm sorry, but I just can't help myself. I even wish I could write this review in purple ink, that's how much I'm into this book. And Varen. ♥If I ever had to describe the kind of guy I desperately want then I think Varen...
