"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 smouldering 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 draw 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 captivation story of love, loss and immortality from debut author Brodi Ashton."

My Rating: 3.75/5

This audiobook was exactly what I needed this month. It was a reminder about why i read and why I started to listen to audiobooks. Yes, parts of this book were incredibly corny, but that being said the story overall had a plot and an interesting idea. What would make you give up your life to someone else? Completely, emotions and all? I think that the author did a good job of showing our main character and her changing world. To be reintroduced to her life after forgetting so much must have been difficult, to say the least. That being said I was left with some questions and plan to continue listening to the audiobooks as the story line is enjoyable overall. I can't wait to see the boys and if they continue to fight for our Nikki.

Thanks for reading,
