"ForNevermore Season 1: Episodes 1-6 a paranormal serialized thriller by co-authors Sean Platt and David W. Wright. This Kindle e-book was a 475  Kb download and was priced at $4.99 at the time of writing this review.PLEASE NOTE: I've been provided with an advanced copy of this book and every book in the ForNevermore series by the authors in return for honest reviews.I will not bother to go into the story itself other than to say it revolves around a 17 year old girl, Noella, who has some 'special' abilities. It has been classified by the authors as Young Adult (YA), featuring paranormal horror with a smidgen of fantasy, mythology and sci-fiction.Some thoughts on Season 1: Episode 1-6...The Pros:1.) a novel intended for a YA audiences (even designated as such by the authors themselves) BUT, it has moments when even adults who dislike the genre (that would be me) will be happily turning the pages of this action packed thriller.2.) well written with a superb sense of pace and timing for some unexpected happenings and events that border on the sensational.3.) little or no fill... this is an action story with nearly always something vital going on or about to happen.4.) short, easy reads... each episode consumable within an hour.5.) a tight plot that stays within the realm of believability (within the context of the story and its setting)6.) cliff hanger ending of several episodes.7.) potential, but as yet, unrealized young love... but you know it's there!8.) in all honesty, the only episode I disliked was No 3. which featured a couple teen girls trashing their peers behind their backs. Maybe realistic of today's teens and their social milieu, but this was to me, representative of the (YA)  style that really turns me off.  This I realize is a subjective opinion that reflects my personal tastes (and no one else's) AND thus has no influence on my overall rating of this terrific series.9.) cover art... thought  the black/red background set the tone for the series and the highlights of white and blue added a contrast that really brought the covers to life. Also the covers have a professional look and nicely tie the series together.Conclusion:Even though YA is probably my least favorite genre, let me tell you, this series contains some harrowing stuff. There are moments in these episodes that will give you goose bumps.Sean Platt and David W. Wright seem to have found a writing formula that magically captivates their audience and then holds them spellbound for the duration of the tale.The 6 episode Omnibus... 5 StarsRay Nicholsonraynicholsonsreviews@hotmail.com
