Abandon

YA
Abandon series.
In this final entry, Pierce's boyfriend John (who's also a "death deity" in charge of the Underworld) dies--or does he? To save him, Pierce returns to Isla Huesos, where Furies mean harm to her and her friends. Pierce's meandering, casual narration is occasionally trying but mostly entertaining; fans will miss her, John, and the rest of the colorful cast.

Abandon series.
Pierce (Abandon) has given up her life on Earth to be in the Underworld with John, the death deity she loves. But when she discovers that her cousin may be in danger, she and John return to Florida to save him. This installment occasionally drags, though readers may enjoy the introduction of some colorful characters and revelations about John's past.

YA
Abandon Trilogy series.
After Pierce died, she went to, then escaped from, the Underworld. Now she lives with her mom on a stormy Florida island, where she keeps running into John, a (very attractive) "death deity." This first book in a projected series delivers an original and entertaining reimagining of the Persephone and Hades myth.
