I read an Advanced Reading Copy for this review.Now that Nikki has rescued Jack, all she wants is to be with him and graduate high school. I was not told what to say, I was not paid to write this review and all the opinions expressed are my own. I received this book for review from the author, Brodi Ashton (from a contest on her blog), in exchange for an honest review. There’s not really any language or suggestive scenes, but they are essentially trekking through hell…. Overall, don’t miss this stunning retelling of Persephone and Hades.Ĭontent Rating: Medium. The “kicking” element of the story was just a little to literal and weird for me. My only complaint about the whole book was a few things that were taken too literally. He’s likeable yet sneaky and dark and I can’t ever totally trust him. I feel like she deserves a round of applause for that ending.Ĭole is a sexy, modern, teen version of Hades.

It gives me chills just thinking about it. Brodi even put the clues in there of what was going to happen at the end and I missed them all. Then the bombshell of an ending hits and I’m still in awe. I thought I was all smart and I knew everything that was going to happen. This is one of those books where the foreshadowing was spot on. The layers of the underworld that she travels through were different in a chilling and alien way. The journey through the underworld and the task she wanted to complete felt impossible the whole time and kept me just glued to the pages. I positively flew through this book in one sitting. It took me a minute to get reoriented in the world again, but I slipped back in easily after a few pages even without rereading the first book. Nikki is going on an adventure to get something back that she lost in the underworld called the Everneath. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.” – Joseph Campbell “It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. The opening line, which I loved, just sets the tone so well. The tone that I adored from the first book is back in Everbound. Spoiler free even if you haven’t read the first book in this series. In this enthralling sequel to Everneath, Brodi Ashton tests the bonds of destiny and explores the lengths we’ll go to for the ones we love. Desperate for answers, Nikki turns to Cole, the immortal bad boy who wants to make her his queen - and the one person least likely to help. Nikki Beckett’s living a borrowed life, and she doesn’t know what to do with the guilt. Genres: Mythology, Paranormal Romance, Retelling
