Evertrue
by
Brodi Ashton
Now that Nikki has
rescued Jack, all she wants is to be with him and graduate high school.
But Cole tricked Nikki into feeding off him, and she’s begun the process
of turning into an Everliving herself... which means she must feed on a
Forfeit soon — or die.
Terrified for her survival, Nikki and Jack begin a desperate attempt to reverse the process using any means possible. Even Cole, who they expected to fight them at every turn, has become an unlikely ally — but how long can it last? Nikki needs to feed on Cole to survive, Cole needs Nikki to gain the throne in the Everneath, Jack needs Nikki because she is everything to him — and together, they must travel back to the Underworld to undo Nikki’s fate and make her mortal once more. But Cole isn’t the only one with plans for Nikki: the Queen has not forgotten Nikki’s treachery, and she wants her destroyed for good. Will Nikki be forced to spend eternity in the Underworld, or does she have what it takes to bring down the Everneath once and for all?
In this stunning conclusion to the Everneath trilogy, Brodi Ashton evokes the resiliency of the human spirit and the indomitable power of true love.

Yet another ending of a fun series. The Persephone myth has been a favorite meme of late in the YA world but this has been my favorite rendition. With the last book there were SO many things left hanging, I thought there was no way she would be able to tie everything up by the end of the 3rd book. But she did! Complete and incendiary closure. The second to last chapter was heartbreaking and heart wrenching and all those hearty kinds of things. The plot twists with Cole throughout the book were perfect. And then the last chapter was just the perfect ending. Another series where my favorite characters can finally just RELAX.
Mom note: As
a mother of readers, I also
want to make a note to myself (and others if they care) why I would or
would not have my children read this book, because honestly, sometimes I
forget. This is a YA book, so everything is within YA strictures.
Violence: moderate; Profanity: possibly mild?; Sex: mild
