Everneath by Brodi Ashton
"Last spring, Nikki Beckett vanished, sucked into an underworld known as the
Everneath, where immortals Feed on the emotions of despairing humans. Now she's
returned- to her old life, her family, her friends- before being 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 months reconnecting with her boyfriend, Jack,
the one person she loves more than anything. But there's a problem: Cole, the
smoldering immortal who first enticed her to the Everneath, has followed Nikki
to the mortal world. And he'll do whatever it takes to bring her back- this time
as his queen." (Summary from author's website)
So I really enjoyed this book. I really liked how the author
set up the love triangle in a way that made the book feel different from other
books in the same genre. Her attraction to Cole was directly related to how he
could take her pain away because of his magical abilities and the author put
the Nikki in a position where it felt realistic that she would make the choices
she did. I also really liked how the author portrayed the depth of the love
that Jack and Nikki had for one another without making them makeout in every
scene. Huzzah! The mythology in this one was fun because while it included
Greek and Roman myths the key to the myth’s magic was Egyptian. So I liked that
twist and the fact that hints to the secret society the author created were
found in many different myths from several different cultures. So yeah, I would totally pick up the sequel to
this one.
