Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spines. This is a cool way to spotlight a upcoming release that you're anxious about, as well as checking out what other book lovers are anticipating as well. So, check out my WoW this week:
Everneath (Everneath #1)
by Brodi Ashton
Released: January 24th 2012
Publisher: HarperCollins / Balzer + Bray
Synopsis via Goodreads:
Last spring, Nikki Beckett vanished, sucked into an underworld known as the Everneath. Now she's returned--to her old life, her family, her boyfriend--before she's banished back to the underworld . . . this time forever. She has six months before the Everneath comes to claim her, six months for good-byes she can't find the words for, six months to find redemption, if it exists.
Nikki longs to spend these precious months forgetting the Everneath and trying to reconnect with her boyfriend, Jack, the person most devastated by her disappearance--and the one person she loves more than anything. But there's just one problem: Cole, the smoldering immortal who enticed her to the Everneath in the first place, has followed Nikki home. Cole wants to take over the throne in the underworld and is convinced Nikki is the key to making it happen. And he'll do whatever it takes to bring her back, this time as his queen.
As Nikki's time on the Surface draws to a close and her relationships begin slipping from her grasp, she is forced to make the hardest decision of her life: find a way to cheat fate and remain on the Surface with Jack or return to the Everneath and become Cole's queen.
Everneath is a captivating story of love, loss, and immortality from debut author Brodi Ashton.
Everbound (Everneath #2)
by Brodi Ashton
Released: January 22nd 2013
Publisher: Balzer + Bray
Synopsis via Goodreads:
Nikki Beckett could only watch as her boyfriend, Jack, sacrificed himself to save her, taking her place in the Tunnels of the Everneath for eternity — a debt that should’ve been hers. She’s living a borrowed life, and she doesn’t know what to do with the guilt. And every night Jack appears in her dreams, lost and confused and wasting away.
Nikki Beckett could only watch as her boyfriend, Jack, sacrificed himself to save her, taking her place in the Tunnels of the Everneath for eternity — a debt that should’ve been hers. She’s living a borrowed life, and she doesn’t know what to do with the guilt. And every night Jack appears in her dreams, lost and confused and wasting away.
Desperate for answers, Nikki turns to Cole, the immortal bad boy who wants to make her his queen — and the one person least likely to help. But his heart has been touched by everything about Nikki, and he agrees to assist her in the only way he can: by taking her to the Everneath himself.
Nikki and Cole descend into the Everneath, only to discover that their journey will be more difficult than they’d anticipated — and more deadly. But Nikki vows to stop at nothing to save Jack — even if it means making an incredible sacrifice of her own.
In this enthralling sequel to Everneath, Brodi Ashton tests the bonds of destiny and explores the lengths we’ll go to for the ones we love.
Both books are already out but I've been meaning to start the series for so long. I'm so much in love with the covers and the synopsis. What else is there keeping me from reading them? Well, books cost money you know :)
What are you waiting on?
Nice picks! I liked Everneath, but not enough to want to continue with the series. Hope you love it a lot more though!

That's awesome. Glad you enjoyed it!
DeleteI want to read this series too! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteOMG you HAVE to read these books! They are both so good! But maybe it's a good thing you haven't read them yet, just because they all end on INSANE cliffhangers. You might be better off just waiting until the whole series is released LOL!
ReplyDeleteMy WoW

ReplyDeleteSo do I :) Thanks for stopping by, El.

DeleteShhh, I own Everneath and still haven't read it!!! And the cool thing is that you can start one and go immediately to the next one. None of that awful waiting!!! I actually prefer that sometimes. Great picks, IMHO!
ReplyDeleteYea,I hate waiting for books but I kinda do that with my own lol
DeleteI read the first book and I liked it okay, but wasn't totally WOW about it like so many others were. I did get the second book but haven't decided if I'll read it for sure or not.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by my blog!
Thanks for coming by as well. Hope you get to the second one soon cause you just have to know how the story ends :)
DeleteI read Everneath and enjoyed it. I can't wait to read Everbound. Nice choice. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteEverbound and Everneath are AMAZING BOOKS and they are so worth it! Seriously, but they have majorly tragic cliffhangers so be on the lookout *drops into a crouch and goes spy-like*
ReplyDeleteLol i love cliffhangers :) Thanks for stopping by.
