My Thoughts: First off, I want to praise the covers for this series. I absolutely adore both the cover from Everneath and this one as well. I loved the first book in this series and I was really excited when Everbound came out. The last book had such an intense cliffhanger that I was still hanging on to the edge of my seat.
Jack is now in the Everneath, taking Nikki's spot in the tunnels permanently so that she didn't have to return to them herself. Nikki is determined to do everything that she can to get him out of the tunnels, even if that means that she has to journey into the Everneath to save him - but that means that she needs help from Cole, the immortal that took her to the Everneath in the first place and who she tried to kill in the last book. Luckily, Cole has a weak spot for her, since he wants Nikki to take over the Everneath and be his Queen so they can rule together.
I really enjoyed the time we got to spend with Cole in this book. I am not sure what it is about him, but I really, really like him. I mean, Jack is fine and all - the good guy all-American boy. There is just something about Cole that intrigues me so much more.
Nikki in this novel really does try to take things into her own hands. She no longer is playing the victim card, something that she did all of the first book. Now, it is all about saving Jack. She is determined and forceful and it is a nice change in her, something that I really thought was missing from Everneath. It is so nice when you can watch a character morph and learn and grow throughout a series.
All in all, I enjoyed this novel thoroughly. It gave me more insight into the characters, the Everneath and really had me hanging on and wanting more. It left on a bit of a cliffhanger, so I can't wait to read the third one when it comes out!
I really liked this one too.
