Everneath by Brodi Ashton

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.
