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.

My Review:
AMAZING end to an AWESOME series. I loved books 1 and 2 of Brodi Ashton's series. I've always loved the Persephone myth, and this is the most unique and fun twist on it. I read all three of them in one week, and totally fell in love with the characters...especially COLE. OMG COLE.
In book 1, we got lots of the real world, and Nikki's struggle about coming back to life, and her fear of returning to the Everneath. In book 2, we got lots of the Everneath...in book 3, we get a mix of both worlds. And it's AWESOME.
This book is super fast-paced and fun...we get an entirely different side of Cole...and Brodi Ashton gives this story a wicked twist with his character. We get to see lots about him and his past life, which I've been dying for since the first book. There's some deaths (won't spoil who), some steamy kissing scenes( YES!) and some more puzzle-solving on Nikki's side.
Overall, this series is great for people who want some light fantasy, some hot dudes, and an evil douchey villainess. I give Brodi Ashton 5 stars for having such a great imagination, and creating such an awesome world. Congrats on finishing up your awesome trilogy, girl! You deserve it...and your covers, btw, are absolutely gorgeous. I'm sad it's over...but I'm ready to see what you've got up your sleeve next.
