OLDER FICTION

Everneath

(4) YA Nikki, depressed after her mother's death and her boyfriend Jack's apparent betrayal, has allowed herself to be taken to the Everneath (the Underworld) and drained of her life force. Her connection to Jack inspires Nikki, back aboveground, to fight her looming return to the Everneath. This spin on the Persephone myth tends to the melodramatic and obvious, but Nikki's desperation feels authentic.
