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?

Neverworld Wake follows 5 teenagers who awake in a a middle space between life and death, and as the synopsis says they must decide which one of them gets to live. There is a lot more to the plot, but to reveal much more would be unfair to how the plot reveals in the book.
Like other reviews I have seen of this book, I feel the way the plot reveals is possibly the best part of the book. I found the characters to be irritating and unrealistic, but over the course of the book I became endeared to them. If the book had been any longer I think I would have got sick of them, but as it was the story was tightly plotted it wasn't so annoying.
I can see why everyone loves it, but I can definitely see why others have issues. I would recommend this book for nothing more than the experience of reading it. It was a wild ride, and I loved every minute of discovering what the hell was going on.
