Synopsis
A compulsive, read-in-one-sitting suspense novel for
fans of One Of Us Is Lying and The Hazel Wood.
Trust no-one. Fear everything.
Five friends - the beautiful elite at their exclusive prep school
- reunite a year after graduation.
After a night out, they narrowly avoid a collision with a car
on a deserted road. Back at the mansion belonging to one of the girls,
a storm rages and a mysterious man knocks on the door, announcing
something world-shattering.
The friends must make a choice: one of them will live,
and the rest will die.
And the decision must be unanimous.
So begins the Neverworld Wake. The nightmare.
The nothingness. Time backbends and they are fated to repeat that
day, but fears are now physical and memories come alive in horrifying
ways.
How will they vote?
And will they be able to escape the Neverworld? New & Used

What Reviewers Are Saying
Maybe it’s just because I’d finished Marisha Pessl’s ‘Night Film’ (which I loved, and definitely recommend!) but I didn’t like this book.
It felt, in comparison to ‘Night Film’ a watered down version of her writing. I understand that this is YA and NF was Adult, but I just couldn’t get into it.
The concept was interesting, but ultimately fell flat.
I also noticed how Pessl reused certain attributes from her precious books, such as wilderness school and a character with three fingers. I’m aware authors do this, but I felt more aware of it so soon after reading NF, and this just made me conscious of how much it seemed like a poor rendition of one of my favourite books.
Maybe I self sabotaged myself with this one, and should have waited to pick it up so soon after ‘Night Film’.
But then again, I just didn’t enjoy the story in general. It was boring and predictable. The ending was too obvious. Neither did I like any of the characters, who felt 1-dimensional and only there to advance the story.
