Last spring, Nikki Beckett vanished, sucked into an underworld known as the Everneath, where immortals Feed on the emotions of despairing humans. Now she's returned- to her old life, her family, her friends- before being 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 months reconnecting with her boyfriend, Jack, the one person she loves more than anything. But there's a problem: Cole, the smoldering immortal who first enticed her to the Everneath, has followed Nikki to the mortal world. And he'll do whatever it takes to bring her back- this time as his queen.
As Nikki's time grows short and her relationships begin slipping from her grasp, she's 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...

Review:
This book was sooooo good!!!!! Its a definitely a MUST read. If you are a big fan of Greek gods and mythology with a romance twist this book is for you. I fell in love with the whole thing since I did start it at 11pm and stayed up until almost 3am, and I just finished it. It had a great plot, the romance with Nikki and Jack was adorable, I was awwwing throughout it because I just wanted these characters together!
The whole novel was very well written, and the way Brodi Ashton does it hooks you on this whole idea of the Everneath, the information and the characters were amazing. I am a big fan of mythology, so I was hooked when I first started the book. I thought the book wasnt confusing at all because it was easy to understand what was happening at the beginning of each chapter.
Nikki was brought back after just waking up from a 100 year nightmare in Everneath. The one that that kept Nikki sane was her love for Jack because he is her boyfriend and she love him. Jack has to be the sweetest boyfriend, and when Nikki shows us what was leading up to her fall to the Everneath, it does piece together at why she went along with Cole. Cole was a very cool character, he was interesting even though he is very persistent with Nikki about returning to the underworld as his queen. Love triangles are a very interesting thing because we don't know what man she will choose, but its very clear that she is still in love with Jack (unconditionally). Even I fell in love with Jack and his personality. Cole I think will be playing with my heart in the next one!
The story does have a great scenes and it picks up when Nikki wants to fight against going back to the evil place that took her in the first place. It was very different to any other mythical books. The writing was very well done, I was hooked from the start. It is definitely one series that I will be looking forward to when the next 2 books come out!!! Be sure to pick this one up!!
Awesome review, Amanda! Now I really really want to read this. And yes I am absolutely a big fan of greek mythology so this one's definitely for me too! Thank you for sharing this with us! ♥
