Everneath
by Brodi Ashton
It’s been a little while since I read this, so I may have forgotten some things.
The Good:
First thing, the picture is gorgeous. I want that dress! Just the fact that it’s a retelling of the Hades/Persephone and the Orpheus myths gives it points. I thought the plot was interesting, although it bordered on melodramatic at times. (Although if you’re about to be sucked back into the underworld, I suppose you have an excuse to be a little melodramatic.) Nikki was, for the most part, a sympathetic character. Just the fact that she was struggling against going off with the “bad boy” gave her points in my book. And her draw towards Cole was given in terms of an addiction she was struggling against but sometimes succumbed to since his feeding off of her emotions took some of her pain and sorrow away temporarily.
The Bad:
All the drama between Nikki and Jack and Cole was a little painful to read sometimes… and the writing went into the sappy quite a bit. The ending was pretty obvious (I thought) which made it a little anti-climactic for me. Also, I thought the knitting thing was a little strange.
In all, my impression was “Interesting idea, could have been better.”
