I did enjoy this book in the late 2000’s, 3OH!3, black and hot pink, and smudged eyeliner type of way. Maybe it was just the nostalgia, but it was fun! It was interesting! The idea of Nikki and Cole kept me going! Maybe I’m just a sucker for the “emo bad boy rockstar” vibes but I don’t care! I love it!
It was really good, interesting plot line. Im interested and what is going to happen next. They way it eneded , you have no idea what turn the next book will take I definitely can't wait that is for sure !
Absolutely 5 of 5 stars!!!
A novel about eternal love, heart breaking decisions and the message about the power to find ourselves into the darkness. That's what Brodi Ashton gives with "Everneath".
Niki had chosen the easy way to settle her feelings of reject and pain and thus she ended on a version of Underworld where she became a "battery" for Cole an immortal. Only her thoughts of Jack kept her almost alive. And after her Return back on the Surface she'll have to deal with the pain of the ones she left behind.
I liked the descriptions and the passings from past to present. Even the ending in all its teary state was beautifully written. I hope to find out more about Everneath on the second book! A great read! Don't miss it. :)

This was such a great book! Brodi Ashton has created a unique story about a parallel world that exists called Everneath, where Everlivings are guaranteed immortality whilst they feed off humans who volunteer to go beneath. Nikki is one such girl, who "lives" in this world for 100 years to be with Cole (an Everliving) who convinces her that her life above is not worth anything. Upon waking, Nikki pulls together enough strength to state that she wants to return and is given six months to say goodbye to her friends and family who are convinced that she became a drug addict and left. Forced to face her former boyfriend, best friend, and recently widowed father, Nikki realizes that she has made a horrible mistake and tries to get out her commitment. Combining Greek and Egyptian myths, Ashton has wove, not only a beautiful love story, but a thrilling adventure that kept me turning the pages! Highly recommended.
Great book for teens and adults. I hope there is a sequel. Loved it!!!!
Hhmmm...I initially wanted to just “meh” this book and explain why, but I think the issues are mine and my age (not typically a deal-breaker, but hey). This trilogy starts off very “Twilight-esque” but slightly better. The love triangle is a bit too saccharine at forty but really would have been exciting if I was reading this at seventeen. And I desperately wanted the heroine to be stronger & more independent; then I was reminded that she’s barely old enough to drive. So, friends, if you can read this for the romance alone, I think you’ll love it. If you have a curmudgeonly, critical, eye-rolly spirit like me, then you may be a bit disappointed. Oh, and this is NOT a Hades/Persephone retelling; it is much closer to an Orpheus/Eurydice retelling. Nit picky but true.

So this is another one of those books where I really really wanted to read the day it came out but...you all guessed it..school. Now? Summer. Meaning? I read it.
I'll admit. This book started out pretty slow. But it was ok! That's the way it was supposed to be!! Poor Nikki was confused and emotionless. Do I blame her? Heck no! That poor chica had been through alot! Cutest thing: What made her Return!
You ask me? #TeamJack forever!!! He is soo cute! I am personally fond of the whole best friend turned relationship story. Never gets old for me! :D And their story: perfect!! Gah! Now don't get me wrong...I love Cole! ...just a little less than I love Jack. Jack's feelings are undeniable! Their relationship screams pure love when Cole's....its more of a possesional thing. But I admit...after one particular scene *cough cough* (the winter dance) that feeling...changed. I really wanted to believe Cole when he said he truly loved her and only wanted what was best for her. It made my heart ache and then I was as confused as Nikki. I couldn't decide which boy I liked better...until the end. That end (which I will rant about here in a second) was the tie breaker for me. Hands down...Jack is my love! <3
And agin...this is one of those books that leaves me speachless. Honestly I have no freakin clue what to say in this review! Brodi did an AMAZING job by giving the myth a nice modern day twist/retelling! I felt the pain and loss from Nikki and enjoyed watching her piece it all back together and try to regain her relationships!
Now be warned. Her distance and ignorance was what made it hard for me to read at first. I wanted to put down the book because it was getting rather boring. But then everything picked up and it became a race against time! So intense!!! Word of advice when reading this book: Don't put it down. No matter how hard it may be for you to get into it. No matter how boring you think it is...DO. NOT. STOP. READING!!! I repeat: KEEP READING AND DON'T GIVE UP!!! YOU WILL REGRET THAT DECISION!!!!
And with that out of the way....the most amazing part of the whole book!!!!>>>>>>>>>>> The end!!!!! *SCREAMS* O. my. goodness!!!! You guys I have to say that was the best ending ever!!! Seriously!! It was sooo freaking terrible! And for some reason..whenever I think about this ending I can't help but compair it to the Titanic. Anyone else?? No? Was it just me?? O well. Ya so I'm not going to give anything away but I will leave you with this....Have your covers covering you. Ya, be all snug as a bug in a rug! Have a glass of water if you start choking on your own tears and of course..now that I've mentioned the word tears....Have a ENTIRE box of Kleenex next to you.
Yes, if you are anything like me....you will ball your little eyes out!! Seriously. I don't think I've cried that much since The Iron Queen (The Iron Fey series #3). I had the mascara running, hiccups, rocking back and forth repeating "No. No. No......" the whole nine yards ya'll!!! I....I'm getting all teary eyed just remembering!!! Hahaha I went down stairs to my mom and the first thing she said: "Woah! We need to get you some waterproof mascara when youre reading now don't we!?" And then of course I went into her lap and balled my eyes out again. Choking on the words as I tried explaining the most terrible news I had ever read!!! *along side The Iron Queen*
Ya, so I'm just going to leave you with that. This book is getting the amount of stars I'm about to display souly for the ending. I mean the rest of the book was amazing and deserves the amount of stars but the ending sent it over the top! My reward: 10000000000000 stars!!!!! (o.O) I am sooooo looking forward to book 2!!!!!! I need more!!! :D
Get this book everyone!!! You will need it!! ;)
Thanks for reading! :)

I enjoyed this story because it was different from other YA books I've read. I was really happy that the main character Nikki was someone you could relate to... Oh, teenage heartache.
The story line picked up quickly in the beginning, sometimes I was really confused as to what was happening, but then it all pulled together. I'm usually not a fan of the storyline jumping from current tense to past tense, but I see why it was important. Ashton was able to reveal what had happened in a way that matched up with how things were occurring in the present, so that in the end of the book you were able to see the whole story.
I really look forward to the second.

It was an awesome idea! the Everlivings, the Feed, Cole, but...
(yes, there's always a but)
Nikki was a dumb protagonist.
Cole was an idiot.
Jack was whipped.
It started fair well, but then Nikki couldn't make up her mind and the plot was getting boring as Nikki and every character did.
The flashbacks thing was alright, but then...
argh! Then it was Nikki moping over the boyfriend...Argh!!!!!
But it kept me going after all, even if only was to find out what happened to poor, emo Nikki.
