When schoolteacher Rachael Benson convinces her controlling and abusive husband to vacation on a secluded island that once belonged to her grandparents, she hopes for clarity—or maybe an escape. But after Brandon disappears under mysterious circumstances, Rachael stays silent about what happened, and about the eerie family legend that brought her there in the first place. For generations, the women in her family have suffered in silence and been protected by something far older and darker than justice.
In the wake of Brandon’s disappearance, the island keeps its secrets, and Rachael is convinced that the spirit of her long-dead great-uncle—manifesting as a raven—has intervened, just as he did for her mother. But returning home doesn’t mean returning to safety. Ominous messages, financial ruin, and a series of escalating threats begin to close in, forcing Rachael to confront just how far the past will reach to protect its own.
A taut psychological thriller with a haunting twist, Nevermore explores cycles of abuse, inherited trauma, and the lengths women must go to reclaim their power. This gripping second installment in the Poetic Justice series delivers chilling revelations and a fierce,
satisfying finale.
Editorial Reviews
“There are a multitude of secrets in Rachael’s family, and one may explain Brandon’s disappearance.” — Foreward Clarion Review
“It is at times quick and thrilling, as with an action-packed sequence in which Rachael hears mysterious thumping in the hallway, investigates, and finds a framed wedding picture shattered on the floor. Herein, the tension increases thanks to evocative details, as of repeating sounds.” — Foreward Clarion Review
“Taut, atmospheric, and psychologically driven; a quiet thriller with bite.” — The Prairies Book Review
“The narrative moves fluidly between procedural inquiry and psychological unease; it captures the claustrophobic effects of isolation—both geographic and emotional.” — The Prairies Book Review
