About this ebook

This “romantic, hard-fought” (Kirkus Reviews) conclusion to the Nevermore trilogy takes one last trip to the dream world of Edgar Allan Poe to reveal the intertwined fates of Isobel and Varen.

The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins? —Edgar Allan Poe

The fine line between life and death blurred long ago for Isobel Lanley. After a deadly confrontation with Varen in the dreamworld, she’s terrified to return to that desolate and dangerous place. But when her nightmares resume, bleeding into reality, she is left with no choice. Varen’s darkness is catching up to her. To everything. Threatening to devour it all.

Isobel fears for her world. For her sanity and Varen’s—especially after a fresh and devastating loss. To make matters worse, the ghostly demon Lilith wants Varen for her own, and she will do anything to keep him in her grasp—anything.

Can Isobel ever find her happy ending? Worlds collide and fates are sealed in this breathtaking finale to the Nevermore trilogy.

Ratings and reviews

After three years, I was so excited to read Oblivion. I tracked every detail of it's upcoming release and anxiously bought my copy. I've read it twice - once on its own and then the series from start to finish. I was disappointed. While the book was good, it basically ran circles. Isobel was doing the exact same thing over and over. By the end, I was annoyed but there were a couple redeeming moments. It will forever be a trilogy close to my heart but neither sequel will ever compare to the first.

It's a rare author indeed who balances gorgeous, flowery prose with mind-bending action. Oblivion is the crown jewel of a standout series that takes you to the forefront of a world so rich and deep, you can envision the scenery of every single page perfectly in your mind's eye. To read it is to enter the world of dreams, and remain there even when the final page is turned.

I started reading this series when I was a freshman in highschool. The first book was amazing. The following year I got my hands on the sequel and that one did not disappoint. Two years later I finally bought Oblivion and it was the perfect end to the Nevermore world.
