RIM's Review of Never Dead By Jumata Emill Jones

RIM's Review of

 Never Dead By Jumata Emill Jones

When a dark secret can no longer be buried, what does it do to become alive? Whatever it can. This secret takes residence in the only home it has ever known. Home in the sense of where it first found and lost love; but when it's lost love has been found can it reclaim what it believes belongs to itself?

Danielle and Emerson are in a transitional part of their lives. They are newly married, moving into a new “home”, actually only new to them. It's Emerson's deceased grandmother's home in a new city. While moving into their home, Danielle has a scary encounter with a ghost in what used to be Emerson's old room. Even though Danielle can not make heads nor tails of the encounter, she also can not figure out why her husband would not believe her.

 

As the ghost makes more visits to the home, more of the reasoning behind why its soul is not at rest becomes more transparent as the safe and comfortable relationship of Danielle and Emerson is tested. Even though Emerson tries to play it off that he has now idea who this ghost is, his past comes back to haunt him and brings about some issues that can not be avoided.


When the truth is revealed no one's life will be the same, especially Danielle's. Sometimes the things we think can move away, run away, or suppress away are the things that face us daily in the mirror and when we can no longer hide from the reflection we see the true us. And as life would have it, one bad choice can have grave results that effect more than just oneself.
