Underworld
by Meg Cabot
Official Blurb:
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Meg Cabot, the dark re-imagining of the Persephone myth begun in Abandon continues ... into the Underworld.
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.

First of all, let me show you the whole jacket of this book:
Ok, did you click on the image to see the larger version? Because it's gorgeous, simply gorgeous.
The first book, Abandon, is still in my TBR pile... I'll read it soon, I mean, it has to be a great book, not only because the author is Meg Cabot (whom I think it's an awesome writer) but because it's based on the myth of Persephone :)
What do you guys think of it?
I enjoyed reading Abandon and I loved the cover! This one looks just as awesome. :D
ReplyDeleteI <3 Abandon! So hope that you do as well! I love Greek mythology and this cover is just gorgeous! Totally brings the myth to life!
ReplyDeleteI know you aren't supposed to judge a book by the cover, but really, how can you not want to read it with a cover like that?
