When I started Everneath I thought it would be "just another Hades/Persephone knockoff." Honestly, that's what I first believed. And I'm glad that wasn't the case. Brodi Ashton took the myths we all know and love and she twisted them all over the place. All the details are SO original - so creative - but at the same time, everything fits perfectly together. 
 Our main character, Nikki Beckett, had been chosen for the Feed by a super hot Everliving named Cole. As far as MCs go, Nikki isn't my absolute favorite, but she's up there on that list. We can see by what she's gone through that she has a very strong will to survive, and that the bonds she holds with the people she loves are strong enough to fight even the most powerful magic. 
 Now, on to the men in her life. But first, back to Cole. I LOVE his character. And I know that's bad, considering he's the "villain" here. But I just can't help it! There's still so much we don't know about Cole's character, and I'm dying to know what it is! We see that even though he lacks a human heart, he still seems to be capable of feeling something for Nikki...but is it love or is it something else entirely? 
 My favorite character of the book, though, has got to be Jack Caputo. You've gotta give this kid major props. Not only is he drop-dead gorgeous and the star quarterback, but he's also kind, considerate, and won't take "No" for an answer when it comes to Nikki Beckett. Their romance was beautiful, but painful to watch. 
 The way Ashton writes this novel is so different. She jumps around from the past to the present, trying to give us glimpses of Nikki's life before the Feed and her relationship with Jack. Through these glimpses, we can see just how much pain both of them have gone through...and we find out that (view spoiler) They are perfect for one another. I just hope things end up that way. 
 With an ending like that, I don't know how long I can sit here before I cave and buy the next book. I'm fairly pleased with this, and although some aspects of the book prevented me from giving it a full five stars, I still loved it a lot! I'll definitely be continuing with this series!
