Underworld (Abandon #2)
Seventeen-year-old Pierce Oliviera isn’t dead.
Not this time.
But she is being held against her will in the dim, twilit world between heaven and hell, where the spirits of the deceased wait before embarking upon their final journey.
Her captor, John Hayden, claims it’s for her own safety. Because not all the departed are dear. Some are so unhappy with where they ended up after leaving the Underworld, they’ve come back as Furies, intent on vengeance…on the one who sent them there and on the one whom he loves.
But while Pierce might be safe from the Furies in the Underworld, far worse dangers could be lurking for her there…and they might have more to do with its ruler than with his enemies.
And unless Pierce is careful, this time there’ll be no escape.
3.5 stars.Review to come.~*~*~*~Read an excerpt of Underworld (chapter 1 & 2) here!(Btw, what is with the summary? "Her captor?" That makes John seem so creepy.)
Appears on http://lilyparadis.com/Let's face it, I'm in love with Meg Cabot.For as long as I can remember, she's been my literary idol. I spent my early teenage years on her message boards, chatting with her other fans, waiting for new books, and trying to be just like Meg. I think I've had this post bookmarked for an obscene amount of time, because somehow I was convinced that reading it would automatically help me write a book.I think I first found out about her because of the Princess Diaries
This book can't come out soon enough!! This series is going to be like an addiction I may not love it but I must have it! After reading:I love meg Cabot. I am so intrigued by all of her books. I like the love story in this book but there is only one thing in this book I would criticize. That would be the rudeness of Alex, pierce's cousin. After how rude he has been throughout the entire series I fail to see how they have developed such a deep connection...and even if we are going off the fact
I love Greek mythology retellings, especially the various Hades and Persephone versions that have been so popular in the YA market the past year. ABANDON by Meg Cabot was one of my favorites so I was eager to see where she took her reimagining in the sequel, UNDERWORLD. And to be honest, I enjoyed this one even more than the first.Its hard to talk about second books in reviews in case anyone missed the first, so I will try to leave out particular plot points. But what I can say is how pleasantly
I kept reading this series hoping for it to be more then what i read in the first part. But it just didn't change... I love the style of writing this author has a way of shifting and jumping from present to the past at first I found it disturbing but she made it effortless .. I hated in this book (ie: 2nd part) John was reduced to just follow pierce around he seemed just clingy and desperate... So yeah :( sight
Unfortunately, Underworld just didn't hold my attention and I found myself not wanting to read it anymore:(

To See Full Review Click Here: http://yalbookbriefs.blogspot.com/201...Underworld is a definite improvement from Abandon which is a good thing which isn't saying Abandon is a bad book because it isn't, but Underworld the story really does pick up. The action scenes in this book were excellent. It might not be the best book for younger Cabot fans to read, but older teens and adults will appreciate these sequences. Pierce and John are also more developed in the sequel. Although, sometimes Pierce's3.5 stars.Review to come.~*~*~*~Read an excerpt of Underworld (chapter 1 & 2) here!(Btw, what is with the summary?
