Abandon by Meg Cabot
4.0
So, in this book we have a fractured version of the Persephone myth. Persephone was kidnapped by Hades and taken to the Underworld as his consort. Persephone's mother, Demeter, was not happy and went to get her,thereby creating the seasons. I've always thought this myth was interesting.
First there is an "accident" then an "incident." Then Pierce and her mother move from Connecticut to Florida where Pierce is still being followed by a mysterious man she met when she died. Against her better judgment she is drawn to him. If she accepts him and all he offers, she will be back in the Underworld.
I really enjoyed this book. Granted, by page 10 or so, I was flipping back to the beginning to make sure I didn't miss something, or that there was no volume 1. We get the story in a jumpy back and forth type motion; once I got used to it, I liked it.
This was a pretty quick read too, well I guess insomnia had something to do with it as well...(hello 3-5:45 am). And I am ready for the next installment!
