Product Description
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...

Format:Paperback
After a series of devastating events Nikki made the drastic decision to go to Everneath (the underworld) with Cole who promised he would take away all her pain when they were there. As far as her friends and family are aware she has been missing for 6 months but time in the Everneath works differently and as far as she is concerned she has been gone for 100 years. Now she has been allowed to return to the surface but she only has six months to make peace with those she left behind before she will be forced to return to Everneath - this time forever.
After spending 100 years with Cole feeding off of her emotions Nikki has returned just a shell of the person she once was. She doesn't feel like she will ever be able to laugh or cry again - that amount of feeling is beyond her now. She soon realises that she is different to the others who have been taken to the Everneath though and Cole seems desperate to convince her to go back with him. But just what is so different about her and why is she so important to the Immortals like Cole?
Everneath is a great debut from Brodi Ashton and has me excited to see what happens in the next two books in the trilogy (I wish there was some information available about when the other books will be released!). This first instalment of the series was an emotional read, more character driven than action packed but still a book that had me hooked from beginning to end. Nikki has to face the things that happened before she was taken to Everneath and she has to try and make amends for the way she left things with her family, friends and boyfriend. She realises that not everything was as it seemed and she has to face just how hard her disappearance was for everyone she left behind. Knowing that she will be leaving again in six months makes things doubly hard for her - she wants to part on better terms than the last time but how can she do that without explaining why she will vanish again?
Nikki's boyfriend Jack was devastated when she disappeared the first time and the last thing she wants to do is hurt him again but she can't help being drawn to him. He was the one thing that she remembered after her time in the Everneath and he was the reason she most wanted to return. When she realises how hurt he will be when she leaves him for a second time she tries to keep her distance but Jack isn't going to let her get away with ignoring him. The romance between them was one of the sweetest I've read about in a long time and Jack is completely swoon worthy! The ending was bittersweet and left me desperate to find out what happens next.
I really enjoyed the author's use of Greek mythology in the story and it made me want to find out more about the original story of Persephone and Hades. I really don't know enough about Greek mythology and I must do something about that. Overall I felt that Everneath was a great start to a new series and it is one I'd highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a good paranormal romance that is a bit different from the norm. I can't wait for the next instalment!

Format:Paperback
With a refreshing new take on the myth of Persephone, Brodi Ashton has created a thrilling debut novel that will pull the reader in while they get sucked into the story.
Everyone who knows me, knows I'm a big fan of Greek Mythology and I thoroughly enjoyed Ashton's take on it. Her writing is fluent and to be honest, it made me read like a maniac. I couldn't flip the pages quick enough! Nikki's time on the Surface it ticking away, and she is determined to find a way to stay there with Jack, her boyfriend. The pacing is fast and manages to keep the reader's attention perfectly.
While I thought that Nikki could have spent some more time with her family, like she wanted in the beginning, I was intrigued by her determination to not go back to the Everneath. To her, Cole is both alluring and repulsive, because of what he did to her when she was at her weakest. She admits her faults and that she should have done it differently, but there's no way to turn back time, so she has to live with the consequences. I liked that about her. I liked that she was a fighter, even though she knew that the Tunnels would come for her in six months time. I liked her.
And for the first time in probably ever, I liked both guys in the story. They both had their good sides and even though Cole fed on her emotions for six months, draining Nikki until she was almost an empty shell, I felt myself to be curious about him. I want to know more.
After that ending, I can only say that I'm already impatiently awaiting the sequel to Everneath. I'm sure it'll be just as addicting as this debut novel!

Format:Kindle Edition
Wow. I'm all mixed up about this one. Breaking it down: over and above I absolutely loved this book. It's one of my favourite reads of 2012 so far and definitely one of my favourite YA books ever. I picked it up a few hours ago and I literally couldn't put it down until I finished, the story and the writing was so compelling and addictive. At the same time I found Everneath a really difficult read because my chest ached the entire time; the narration was so heartbreaking and the premise so bittersweet and dark. Brodi Ashton's mythology is pure genius, I was captivated by her take on the Hades and Persephone myth and the underworld called `Everneath' and the creatures that live there `Everlings'. It was just stunning and unique and so refreshingly wonderful to read. Narrator and heroine, Nikki, is exactly that - she's courageous and pure of heart as is the love of her life, Jack, but they weren't cheesy or overdramatic. In fact the love story was authentic, gripping and utterly heartbreaking. It's one of the most real for me of all the love stories I've read in YA. I was actually choking back the tears a little at the end of this book. Not sure it's one I could re-read over and over again but I am definitely desperate to read book two.
Beautifully dark and sweetly haunting. A must read!

Ever hard to put down
Nicely written book, twists and turns, the ending was a little unexpected. There's space for a sequel, I hope Brodi Ashton is working on it, Jack needs help! :)
