My Thoughts

I’m so excited that I was finally able to read EVERTRUE. I’m just sad that I have nothing else to look forward to in the Everneath realm.

I loved that we had a chance to go back to the Everneath and experience other places than just the Commons, Labyrinth, and the High Court. It was fun to see the new places, like Lake Tantalus, as well as others Cole knew about and experience the Everneath as an Everliving might.

I feel like I connected with Nikki in this series. She’s pessimistic and blames herself for others’ fates. She wants to run away, but she also takes responsibility for her actions. She cares for others and doesn’t want to put them in harm’s way. And, yet, she can forgive others. I thought she was a very real and believable character.

I loved having Nikki and Jack together in this book. All the sensual moments between them made me feel warm and fuzzy. But, I also loved the uneasiness between them and Cole. I loved the dynamic of Nikki being dependent on Cole while Jack was there watching. It created some awesome tension and angst. I also loved that Cole was different in this book, but also the same. I loved the stress of wondering if he was leading Nikki and Jack on, if he had ulterior motives, or what he’d do in the end. I had wondered if he’d surprise me after I finished reading EVERBOUND and he certainly did–both in a good and bad way.

I’ve been anticipating this book since the very beginning of the series. I’ve wanted to know what would happen to Nikki, Jack, Cole, and the Everneath from the moment I read the first page of EVERNEATH. The journey to get here was amazing and suspenseful, and I’m glad to have experienced it.
