Waiting on Wednesday (1)

Whooo! It's my birthday! To start it off, I'll be doing a new meme on the blog, which is called Waiting on Wednesday. Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This is where we highlight releases that we are eagerly waiting for!

   

Release Date: Jan. 24, 2012

Summary: Last spring, Nikki Beckett vanished, sucked into an underworld known as the Everneath, where immortals Feed on the emotions of despairing humans. Now she's returned- to her old life, her family, her friends- before being banished back to the underworld... this time forever. 

She has six months before the Everneath comes to claim her, six months for good-byes she can't find the words for, six months to find redemption, if it exists. 

Nikki longs to spend these months reconnecting with her boyfriend, Jack, the one person she loves more than anything. But there's a problem: Cole, the smoldering immortal who first enticed her to the Everneath, has followed Nikki to the mortal world. And he'll do whatever it takes to bring her back- this time as his queen. 
As Nikki's time grows short and her relationships begin slipping from her grasp, she's forced to make the hardest decision of her life: find a way to cheat fate and remain on the Surface with Jack or return to the Everneath and become Cole's...                                                 

Everneath looks amazing, judging by the cover and summary alone. What closed the deal for me was that the story was based on the Greek myth. And that is, you guessed it, Hades and Persephone.
