Everneath by Brodi Ashton
5.0

Wow.

My only words are that in the six hours that I read this book, I discovered a read that had an intoxicating love triangle and lovely and enchanting characters.


The addiction for this novel was harbored in the first sentences of the prologue.


I'm a person who is all for Greek Mythology. It's my favorite section in school and I could, literally because there's so many dramatics and sequels to their sequels, read it for days and days-- and Everneath takes the cake for retellings of Greek Mythology tales.


This book is worth it.
It's unforgettable.
It's raw.
Love-able.
It's required.



Brodi Ashton weaves together this retelling of the Persephone myth along with the realization of how limited our time is. From what you've read from the cover of the book, you think, "oh this girl has six months to redeem herself for the goodbyes that she didn't give to her loved ones"

well six months. That's a lot of time.

No, it's really not.

When reading Everneath, as each chapter passed by, in the story weeks, WEEKS, would slip out from under Nikki as if they were seconds. Instead of six months. She had sixty seconds. And it was heartbreaking, while reading, to really understand and realize how often time is taken for granted. How when we think of our next moment, we think of it as a stalwart- as it's always going to be there. But that's not always how it works out. And that's not how it's always going to be.

Time is precious.

Everneath is a beautifully tragic read. A story that develops slow and maturely and painstakingly sad.

For sure,
This will not be the last book I've read by Brodi Ashton.
