Official Synopsis;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.
Everneath is a captivating story of love, loss, and immortality from debut author Brodi Ashton.
Everneath was one of them books i really wanted to love, especially when it was loosely based on the Persephone and Hades myth. i had heard hype about this book everywhere goodreads, Facebook and twitter and just by reading the blurb and looking at the cover i was prepared to love and join the hype.
After officially finishing this book i can say i was seriously disappointed with this book for the first part it was slow, with a complicated story line which this book leaves you to figure out.The biggest issues I have with this book is how believable it really was. I did not believe Nikki's reasons for going to the Everneath. I did not believe she spent a hundred years there (six months of our time). And I certainly didn't believe in the romance that she supposedly couldn't forget during that time. It was all so insipid and unconvincing.Plus, with the character just felt faked, due tot he fact of Nikki following a guy she just met to the everneath all because of a guy dumping her, then it goes to a whole new level of "come on" when you really have the main character Nikki actually thinking about a romantic fantasy with Cole the creepy stalker of kept her prisoner in the everneath to just drain her dry of her essence.Really Ashton.
continuing the whole mood of this story was morbid, i never thought that they was a more morbid character than Bella swan but it turns out there is.
However, i do need to give credit where it is due the story line for this paranormal YA book was very unique from other supernatural books where the normal girls meets supernatural guy then a high school love story proceeds. however , it was confusing in some points and very slow while first 1% of the book draw me in as it was very interesting the other 99% lacked action.
This book is not for all, but if you love to work out puzzles then this book is for you and if. enjoy this read if you do read it. :)
