Abandon by Meg Cabot

1.0

This book was pretty awful. When I heard it would be a new take on the myth of Hades and Persephone I literally yelled "OMG YES!!" But.... yeah, it didn't live up to that excitement even a little. There's no chemistry between the characters at all. The guy shows up to save the girl a few times, but they don't really talk. The girl spends the whole book complaining about the guy but suddenly he confesses he loves her and she gets all teary and happy. Whatever. The writing was just horrible. Constant blatantly annoying foreshadowing and flashbacks. An actual quote: "My voice trailed off, because when I glanced up into his face, I saw that his mouth was pressed into a flat line… like the one my heart had gone into the day I'd fallen into his world." Absolute garbage!
