I'm not sure it's possible for a book to fail the Bechdel test when there are no actual conversations in the first 50 pages, but this one seems to fail the intent, anyway. This re-imagining of the Persephone myth has an interesting premise and (what I read of it) is well-written. But our main charac...
*sigh* It is evident I'm not the public for this book. While some of the alogoric content inside this was something that is important that is adressed, the whole felt all over the place. I think the part most inconsistent was Nik herself: selfish woe is me then all goody sacrificing. It could be tha...
Summary- 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 f...

It was an intriguing plot, though. And I did quite like the use of mythology woven into the Everneath...
Nikki Perkins has been missing for six months. But for her it was a hundred years. After fighting with her family and breaking up with her boyfriend, she consented to be a "forfeit", a human who feeds the Everliving. Generally they lose their memories and fade into the tunnels to be used for energy....
What a great concept! I thoroughly enjoyed it at the beginning, then the middle portion dragged on and got boring for me. Maybe the fact that I was tired and sleepy contributed to my not-so-positive reaction regarding the mid-portion of the book. As it neared the ending tho, the thrill ride picked u...
