So this weeks "WoW", actually took me by surprise. I went through my goodreads.com list of books that I want to read, and I don't remember adding this particular one, so I went over what it is about. I am such a fan of myths especially Greek and Roman and this story just screams the myth of Persephone, so I am going to assume that is why I had added it to my "to-read" list. Sometimes that list is just too big to handle. (haha)
Expected Publication: January 24th, 2012
Publisher: Harper Collins/Balzer & Bray
"Nikki longs to spend these months reconnecting with her boyfriend, Jack, the one person she loves more than anything. But there's a problem: Cole, the smouldering immortal who first enticed her to the Everneath, has followed Nikki to the mortal world. And he'll do whatever it takes to bring her back- this time as his queen. As Nikki's time grows short and her relationships begin slipping from her grasp, she's 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..."
Thoughts:
Isn't this cover just to die for!! I absolutely love the smokey technique used to incorporate her dress and the smoke of the underworld, perhaps? I think that is what initially drew me in in the first place was the cover just how alluring it is, and then of course the storyline! Who doesn't love a heart wrenching love story where the love triangle consists of a human boyfriend Jack, and the king of the underworld Cole. I cannot wait if for only one thing, to see how Ashton describes these two boys of Nikki's heart - I am thinking for Cole, a devilish grin, slightly tanned, black hair, perhaps green eyes, very alluring (I am such a sucker for green eye's, hehe) - a girl can only hope he's that delicious! But, I digress, if you haven't already added this to your "to read" list, I highly suggest you do. Ashton looks to have one of the best sellers of 2012 on her hands!
I just got this one yesterday I'm really looking forward to reading it! Awesome pick!

The cover is gorgeous! Is this a second book in a series though? from the synopsis it sounds like it might be...but maybe it just starts off really dramatically!
