3 1/2 Stars
New from #1 New York Times bestselling author Meg Cabot, a dark, fantastical story about this world . . . and the underworld.
Though 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.
Well, this story started out great! Then it got a little confusing in the middle and a little boring with how it went back to flashbacks throughout the whole book. Although it was a great twist to the Hades and Persephone story with John and Pierce. The story starts with when she died drowning and went to the Underworld. She was so confused and ran away and got hit by a horse and the rider was John. She recognized John from a funeral she went to when she was little and told him that it was her. John was shocked that Pierce was her and took her to his castle and we found out that John is ruler of the Underworld and he wants to make Pierce his Queen. Pierce freaks out and finds a way to escape the Underworld and takes it. John then followed Pierce and protected her and begged her to come back because the Furies were angry. Pierce starts to fall for John and in the end, her grandma was a Fury and attacked her at her school. John came to her rescue and after defeating her grandmother, took her back to the Underworld to keep her safe. The end set up a great cliffhanger for the sequel, overall the book was good and it is worth a try. I reccomand that you give it a try!
