A review by wendythegeekgoddess
Everneath by Brodi Ashton
2.0
SYNOPSIS:
Six months ago, Nikki Beckett vnished into an underworld known as the Everneath. Now she's returned to her old life, her family, her boyfriend for another six months before she leaves again only this time it will be forever...
REVIEW:
This book had so many good reviews that I was very excited to read but for some reason I felt like the book couldn't keep an enjoyable pace and I quickly lost interest and only rarely gained a bit back from time to time. I also think that maybe one retelling of the Persephone myth was enough for me and I got that little dose of it by reading Meg Cabot's "Abandon" and "Underworld". Although this tale was quite different it boils down to the same thing: Persephone myth, Gorgeous guys that are secretly evil, and girls getting sucked into some other worldly dimension. So I guess thats why I quickly got bored of it my brain kept saying "you pretty much read this story all ready" and it was not in the mood for another! So don't take it personally Miss Ashton but Meg Cabot beat you to the punch, in my case that is.
