Everneath by Brodi AshtonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Synopsis:
Last spring, Nikki Beckett vanished, sucked into an underworld known as the Everneath. 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.

My Thoughts:
It is no secret that I love mythology. That is why I grabbed this book at my local library. It is written all around the story of Persephone.Nikki
Other reviewers say Nikki is whiny. However, I don't see it that way. She just wants to say goodbye to her loved ones on her terms. What she is going thru couldn't be easy. I actually feel she is strong in her own way.
Jack
I don't think the author spent enough time developing his character. I honestly didn't care either way about him.
Cole
Cole is the character that you love to hate. He pressures Nikki into doing what he wants. He doesn't care what she wants.
The Ending
The ending was tragic. I felt sad for Nikki and loved Jack's solution. Since this is a series, I am hoping there is more to this story. I wanted so much more from it.
