I've only finished this book and I know I have a whole ton of other reviews to get to, but I want to finish this one first, mostly because of how I feel about it, which is basically, disappointment. I've been wanting to read this for a while now and I didn't think it'd be bad because it's by Meg Cabot. I love all her work, but for Abandon, while I don't hate it or anything, it just could have been a lot better. 
 Abandon is basically a retelling of the Greek myth of Persephone and Hades. I personally felt that the book's writing was a little too disjointed. It went back and forth between the past and present a little too frequently and at an irregular pace that I got a little confused. The plot in itself wasn't too bad but the supernatural element wasn't present enough for me to be impressed. The romance was interesting but like I said, wasn't engaging enough. 
 The ending felt a little too anti-climatic as well. I understand that it's a series but it didn't feel like it was a proper set-up. Overall, a decent effort but ultimately disappointing.
