Author: Brodi Ashton
Series: Everneath, book #2
Publisher: Balzer + Bray
Publication Date: January 22, 2013
Nikki Beckett could only watch as her boyfriend, Jack, sacrificed himself to save her, taking her place in the Tunnels of the Everneath for eternity — a debt that should’ve been hers. She’s living a borrowed life, and she doesn’t know what to do with the guilt. And every night Jack appears in her dreams, lost and confused and wasting away.
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. But his heart has been touched by everything about Nikki, and he agrees to assist her in the only way he can: by taking her to the Everneath himself.
Nikki and Cole descend into the Everneath, only to discover that their journey will be more difficult than they’d anticipated — and more deadly. But Nikki vows to stop at nothing to save Jack — even if it means making an incredible sacrifice of her own.
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.

Why I'm waiting: After reading and loving Everneath, but especially after that shocking ending, I want this book yesterday. I love retellings of the Persephone myth, but I think this series might just be my favorite because it pushes the boundaries a bit and branches off from the original story enough to stand on its own. I'm very much a fan of Jack and the sacrifice he made for Nikki, but I'm also interested in Cole's intentions because I sense that there is good in him yet.
I still need to read Everneath. I keep pushing it back. i see all kinds of good things about it, I just can't get to it for some reason.

ReplyDeleteMy WOW
I can't wait to read this. Great pick.

I also can't wait for this one! I want to know more about Cole. I was also really surprised by the ending of Everneath, but in a good way. I hoped all the time that Nikki wouldn't sacrifice herself but saw no way around it until shortly before it happened.
ReplyDeleteGreat pick! Thanks for stopping by my post yesterday :)
Cover is sooooooo pretty! I still need to read Everneath. Literally been on my shelf dusty since January! I know I'm ashamed of myself too ;-) Thanks for stopping by!
