Now she’s returned—to her old life, her family, her boyfriend—before she’s banished back to the underworld . . . this time forever. She has six months before the Everneath comes to claim her, six months for good-byes she can’t find the words for, six months to find redemption, if it exists.
Nikki longs to spend these precious months forgetting the Everneath and trying to reconnect with her boyfriend, Jack, the person most devastated by her disappearance—and the one person she loves more than anything. But there’s just one problem: Cole, the smoldering immortal who enticed her to the Everneath in the first place, has followed Nikki home. Cole wants to take over the throne in the underworld and is convinced Nikki is the key to making it happen. And he’ll do whatever it takes to bring her back, this time as his queen.
As Nikki’s time on the Surface draws to a close and her relationships begin slipping from her grasp, she is forced to make the hardest decision of her life: find a way to cheat fate and remain on the Surface with Jack or return to the Everneath and become Cole’s queen.
Everneath is a captivating story of love, loss, and immortality from debut author Brodi Ashton.
This book is the bomb diggity. Like WOW! This book leaves me speechless and so excited for the start of an amazing new series! I don’t want to say too much, I might spoil it.
Why is this book so good? Well let by start off by saying that at the beginning I was a bit skeptical. While I love greek mythology, I am sort of getting tired of it. The way Ms. Ashton thought of the box and created a fresh world of darkness left me speech less. I love that she took something overdone and made it brand new. After the first chapter I was hooked. The plot of this book is wonderful! Simple ecstatic! I loved the idea of a Underworld, Daughters of Persephone, and a deep prophecy that is waiting to be fulfilled. Ms. Ashton grabbed her readers pulling them on ride that we will never forget.
The love interest in this book is so good, I can not put it in words. There is no love triangle but a strained love. I loved that their love is deeper than I have ever seen before. This love is the type of love that is strong and unbreakable. I loved reading the book and feeling the pull of deep emotions on my heart. Ms. Ashton way of writing just the right words to get you hooked and pulled into the story is amazing.
Everneath is breathless. A book that no words can measure. Pulling her readers in the deep abyss of the underworld, Ms. Ashton leaves her readers blissful. Ms. Ashton is a skillful writer leading her readers into a great reading adventure. Hauntingly beautiful, Everneath is start of a very promising series!
I give it 5 BITES!
Happy Reading!

First of all, great review! Second, that cover is gorgeous! And third, I still can’t get enough of Greek Mythology. Maybe I’ll burn out on it soon, but in the mean time, this looks awesome!

Sounds great. I like how you described their love. I’m curious to see what their deep love is like.

This was one that grabbed me as well. The way that you described the love relationship is perfect because of how it is. It was beautifully written. Great review!
