*~* RELEASED TODAY *~* Happy Birthday Nevermore! Happy Birthday Edgar Allan Poe!



Nevermore

** a contemporary romance paying homage to "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe **

Love and loss. 
Passion and pain. 

I’ve always been a fan of Edgar Allan Poe because his work epitomized how one can be driven mad by the truth and freedom of those emotions. So, when I needed to put the finishing touches on my doctoral research on Poe, I returned to my hometown of Richmond, VA—a place Poe also considered home. 

In truth, I could’ve gone anywhere. 

But Jackson Parker was back in Richmond. 

Best friends since we were twelve, JP was my support system. Separated by life but connected by technology, our relationship always had a flirty undercurrent, but it wasn’t sexual. Although our attraction was mutual, our affection was platonic. 

Until it wasn’t.

I didn’t know when it happened. 
I didn’t know why it happened. 
I didn’t know how it happened. 

But love and loss, passion and pain collided in September and when I found the truth in the madness, that set me free.



My Review

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Danielle always astounds me with her work. I meant she has written under ten books and STILL leaves me in awe of her awesomeness.. lol No seriously her writing is amazing and the way she can play with your heart is even better. This book is feels book that even to the last page, you will have tears in your eyes and a frog in your throat. Maybe it's just me and having lost my big brother that touched me here a little more than normal. Ok ok onto the review.. lol

Raven and JP have been best friends forever it seems to them and have always been there for each other regardless of any differences. They were always together and some liked that but others didn't. They were supposed to go to college together and that didn't work out. Once they did see each other again after school they were full fledged adults with the hormones to go with. Needless to say they weren't ready for what would happen once they did meet back up. BUT once that falls apart where will they be left? What will they be left with when their lives start to fall apart around them?

In this book there is confusion, there is loss, there is angst, there is hurt, and so much more. I can not put this book in words that will not give everything away. DO NOT for a second think that any one feeling will deter from the others, because at some points you will feel them all at once and definitely each separately.

Danielle Allen is indeed one of THE most talented authors I have read and will continue to follow all of her work. If you don't you will be for sure be treating yourself unjustly!!!
