Everneath
by Brodi Ashton
Book Description:
Last spring, Nikki Beckett vanished, sucked into an underworld known as the
Everneath. Now she’s returned—to her old life, her family, her boyfriend—before
she’s banished back to the underworld . . . this time forever. She has six
months before the Everneath comes to claim her, six months for good-byes she
can’t find the words for, six months to find redemption, if it exists.
Nikki longs to
spend these precious months forgetting the Everneath and trying to reconnect
with her boyfriend, Jack, the person most devastated by her disappearance—and
the one person she loves more than anything. But there’s just one problem: Cole,
the smoldering immortal who enticed her to the Everneath in the first place, has
followed Nikki home. Cole wants to take over the throne in the underworld and is
convinced Nikki is the key to making it happen. And he’ll do whatever it takes
to bring her back, this time as his queen.
As Nikki’s time
on the Surface draws to a close and her relationships begin slipping from her
grasp, she is forced to make the hardest decision of her life: find a way to
cheat fate and remain on the Surface with Jack or return to the Everneath and
become Cole’s queen.
Review:
I really liked this new mythology about the Underworld. Here there are immortals who feed off of regular humans to stay alive for centuries...but at what cost?! I thought that Nikki was a great main character and that her emotional state was really believable.
This book has love, betrayal, danger, imminent death, ethical choices...it has it all. A fun read for anyone who likes mythology.
