Always Never
*Trigger Warning* If you can't read erotica *hot sex*, Don't read this. "Blinking would bring a moment of darkness that I couldn't afford." Darkness shadows those that are marked, but the light of a soul may be stronger than the depths of the Never. I was sent to collect what was rightfully mine. Avery belonged to me as many of the marks before her. She fought harder than the others, stayed stronger through the fear and she made herself an easy target. Finding her was never an issue. Killing her was always the plan. Losing her was no longer an option.

Author Virginia Johnson has done it again with this unique story making it another one click must. This book has everything you need to get a great paranormal read. There are supernatural characters that are not vampires or werewolves, action with a little blood and guts, a few suspenseful moments and a some really hot and steamy scenes. This book had me unable to put it down and I finished it in one sitting! There is even a HEA to tie it all together. Overall a great read that I would recommend to anyone that like the paranormal genre.

I'm not normally a reader of paranormal but when the opportunity came to me to read this book I jumped at it.
Ms Johnson gives us two fantastic characters to identify with. Avery and Grant. With a few gratuitous hot sex scenes thrown in, this is not what gets this story over the line. It the uniqueness of the storyline that is full of intrigue and mind bending possibilities of eyes of another always watching and protecting us. I devoured this book in one sitting.
Virginia Johnson is quickly becoming a 'one-click' author for me. Can't wait for her next book no matter what genre it will be!

Always Never - Virginia Johnson
### 4.5 Hashtags ###
This is the first book I've read from this author and I really enjoyed this paranormal read. This story was very different from what I expected, but did not disappoint.
I liked how this paranormal story is completely different from the usual vampire read, there's a uniqueness which is refreshing, along with some great steamy scenes and an unexpected ending. All in all a great read which I completely recommend.

This is one of those freaky books that you don't read, but rather watch as a horror, suspense movie in your mind (complete with the Psycho music). Johnson takes an intriguing concept and feeds you just enough information to make you go crazy with all of the possibilities presented. Who is to say that she didn't base this book off of a secret that only she is privy to? This could be the reality we live in and just don't know. After you read this you'll still be glancing over your shoulder at that shadow you can't quite see, but now you'll know what it is. Virginia Johnson will always be one of my favorite authors and I'll never leave one of her books unread.

I didn't read the blurb going in. I didn't know anything bout this book going in. Just knew I love the author, trust her, was a fan. I judged the book by the cover. WRONG. I should have know from the author this in no way would have been, well, sweet.
I loved it. I was hooked and no spoilers but, THE ENDING, OMG.
OK,you will get so trapped in this and I hope someone will also go in this like I did because I makes it so much better. Not knowing at all what to expect. This has it all. Don't wait one click now. Highly recommend. Enjoy this read.

Finding my Always
This is a paranormal read unlike I have ever read before. This is a story about Avery. She is a seemingly normal girl until the abnormal starts happening to her. Here is where Grant comes in. He is the abnormal element. But I cannot tell you why. You have to read it for yourself. It is a page turner. Once you start, you won't stop.

I had been craving a good paranormal story, and Virginia did not disappoint. Characters were well developed, easy to identify with and there was suspense around every corner, which made it really hard to put down. Loved the cameos with Cordelia and Piph!

I have read all of Author V. Johnson's books and I love them always because they never fail in the suspense category nor the "sexy as heck" department. This book had me not only turning on the air conditioner but all the ceiling fans in the house. I would definitely recommend this book for those in the age category of 18+ who love rememberable characters, a plot twist, mouth-dropping scenes and love a book filled with love.

Never surrender
I didn't expect that ending. This is the type of book you can't judge by the cover. I swore it was about something else judging by the cover. Am I disappointed? Not a bit. This was an awesome book. Something I've thought about honestly. Fab storyline.

Another Great Read by this author. She really can write a story that sucks you in. NO spoilers but 18+ no complaining it's a Adult book. Avery and Grant loved them! Great paranormal HOT read. If you like sexy steamy reads grab this book.
June 13, 2017
So this is definitely one of those cases where you do NOT judge the book by the cover !! Not that the cover is bad mind you lol
This book has everything a paranormal should. The 'normal' girl, living her 'normal' life, until everything suddenly isn't 'normal' anymore, and life as she knew it, is turned upside down and inside out. Things that she thought she knew are proven to be wrong and a whole new world is introduced to her. With danger, twists and turns and an ending that you don't see coming, this is a must read for anyone looking for something 'Different'.

I received an advanced copy of this book and have opted to provide this honest review.
Wow! I had no idea what to expect, except that Virginia Johnson writes gritty and raw stories that stick with you.
This PN read was just as I expected and so much more. I loved Grant & Avery. I hurt when they hurt and loved when they fell together. Incredibly inventive and absolutely alluring. A tale to reach your heart and make you listen a little closer to those whispers on the wind.
Read in about an hour.

Unique paranormal romance
How to describe this book without giving any away...... Grant is sent to do a job but the more he discovers about Avery, the harder it becomes. 2 beings who seem so different are completely drawn to each other.
Amazing story from an amazing author. Virginia is one of my no think 1 click authors. This book was completely different to her previous book but like them, it was well thought out and kept me hooked from start to finish

Fast paced paranormal read. It's suspenseful and different from the typical paranormal romances. It took awhile for me to figure out exactly what paranormal is in the book. I really enjoyed the mystery of it all.
April 24, 2018
This book is up my alley!! Great read and loved the "Ghost" paranormal. Virginia likes to write dark themed books and this is mild compared to some of her other books. I loved this book the most of all her books that I have read! Thank you, Virginia!!!

Not a fan
I really don't like leaving a bad review but this book was very confusing in the beginning , the middle was not but the ending came to quick without the answers I needed. I would not recommend this book, nor will I continue this series. I have better books to read.

I am an avid fan of Virginia Johnson’s work and this book did not disappoint. This is Grant’s and Avery’s story. After reading it—all I kept thinking was…. So all those times I felt someone’s presence…. Was it my imagination or was someone actually there?
I highly recommend this book and I cannot go any more into detail without spoiling the storyline. Go get acquainted with Avery and Grant.

This is not your normal, paranormal read! (It's SO much better.) I think this book could be the inspiration for the coining of a new word: Paranoidmal -- A paranormal-based, literary work or plot line that leaves you feeling paranoid in reality.
This story line is new & fresh, sexy & steamy and intriguing & suspenseful. I didn't want to put it down! It made the perfect little late-night read.

Virginia Lee Johnson - ALWAYS NEVER.
Virginia Johnson was a new Author to me for this novel but not no more!
ALWAYS NEVER was amazing. It was a 'blind' purchase - new Author, didn’t know her genre, never read the blurb, however Always Never was recommended by a friend so thought ok-why not?
OMG I was completely blown away. The storyline, the characters, my heart thumped hard, the intrigue and anticipation waiting for what was to happen next. It was suspenseful, so thigh tingling hot and sexy…. smoking!
I loved the whole novel. I loved Virginia Johnson. I was so surprised at two of her characters, I was so excited to see them Included, however I'm not a girl to give spoilers.
Without any doubt whatsoever ALWAYS NEVER I am giving a 5* review. F@#king awesome novel Ms Johnson.
