Summary (from Goodreads):

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...

I'm sure many of you have probably heard about Everneath by now, or have at least seen its gorgeous cover! It's so pretty, don't you think? The vibrant red dress and the way the gray clouds sort of swirl on the bottom around her... it's such an awesome effect! But also, the premise for the novel sounds just as great too! 

It looks like Everneath will be loosely based on the myth of Persephone, so it will definitely be interesting to read Brodi Ashton's take on it. Everneath is Brodi Ashton's debut novel and the first in a planned trilogy. I absolutely can't wait to read it!
