Everneath
by Brodi Ashton
This book lived up to my expectations, but didn't necessarily surpass them. While the subject matter was interesting and original, it could be frustrating at times.
While Nikki was trying to figure out some puzzling thing, I was practically yelling at her, because the answer was so very obvious. And then Brodi, the sneaky author she is, proved me(and Nikki) wrong.
Just when you think you've got it all figure out, Brodi adds a new twist, or some unforseen predicament pops up, and pulls your feet out from beneath you. It takes a skilled author to trick you like that, and it was refreshing.
Nikki and Jack may be in love, but I have to agree with Cole in that I don't see it. And she's been to the Everneath and been changed irrevocably, yet somehow she managed to slip back into her old life almost perfectly. I would've rather seen her end up with Cole and have a little more conflict with returning, but maybe that's just me.
Their only seemed to be four characters in this book. Nikki comes back also to see her family, yet is only depicted with Tommy four times. Similarly, she was supposed to be in a close-knit relationship with her mother, yet only mentions her a handful of times.
The ending was of the WTH?! variety. It was just kind of like "Really? that's what you're gonna do?" Maybe it will lead into something good, but I was kind of annoyed, needless to say.
Overall, it was a great book, however I hope to see some improvements in the following books. Would I read/recommend? Of course, and I will be eagerly awaiting the time when I get to read what happens next.
