Abandon (Abandon Trilogy #1) By Meg Cabot
Abandon (Abandon Trilogy #1)By Meg CabotThough she tries returning to the life she knew before the accident, Pierce can't help but feel at once a part of this world, and apart from it. Yet she's never alone . . . because someone is always watching her. Escape from the realm of the dead is impossible when someone there wants you back.But now she's moved to a new town. Maybe at her new school, she can start fresh. Maybe she can stop feeling so afraid.Only she can't. Because even here, he finds her. That's how desperately he wants her back. She knows he's no guardian angel, and his dark world isn't exactly heaven, yet she can't stay away . . . especially since he always appears when she least expects it, but exactly when she needs him most.But if she lets herself fall any further, she may just find herself back in the one place she most fears: the Underworld.
What can I say, it is a … good book, but I really didn’t get it until the very
last chapter. I have heard good things about Meg Cabot, but I don’t know what
to think about this book! Plus, I decided to read this book because of the
beautiful cover. (This book literally took the phrase never judge a book by the
cover to a whole new level)! Where to start, where to start…on the exterior,
Abandon sounded grand - a shadowy retelling of the Persephone and Hades myth;
Yes!!!! Alas, the book falls short on delivering
the adventure – Maybe - this letdown could be because this is the foremost book
in the new Abandon series. (I hope!) It took more than
¾ of the book for Pierce to
finish validating everything that happened two years ago, when she had her NDE
and a crucial encounter with John, a death deity who seems to be in charge of
the Underworld. The book just seemed repetitive and a bit too slow! And the
Hero, John… we still don’t know anything about him! I was disappointed, but I
will probably pick up the second book, Underworld, when it comes out. With that
said…
Book Rating:
Underworld (Abandon Trilogy #2)By Meg CabotEscape from the realm of the dead is impossible when someone there wants you back.
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.Expected publication: May 28th 2012 by Point

The worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it. ~James Bryce
