Book Talk: Have you ever died? Pierce died once. She drowned in a swimming pool in her
backyard. She wasn’t dead long, the
water was so cold that the hospital was able to revive her.
Pierce had a
terrible day. First she dies and then
she unknowingly kidnapped by the ruler of the underworld. Fortunately, she escapes and comes back to
life. Now that she is alive again,
things are different. Her parents are
getting divorced, her mom has uprooted her and moved her to a new place and a
new school, and she is falling behind in most her classes. Luck just hasn’t returned since that fatal
day.
Occasionally,
she sees him; the ruler of the Underworld.
He seems to appear when she is in danger. Sometimes she wishes she would see him more
and sometimes she wants to run away. Her
feelings are confused, yet strong. Maybe
she loves him, but is he worth dying for…again?
Awards: None
Reviews:
Seventeen Magazine says "You'll love Abandon if: ...you couldn't put down any of the Twilight books and
are totally into The Vampire Diaries. Have a thing for the earthly girls who
are always getting into trouble and the mysterious, tall/dark/handsome
supernatural boys who love them? Then this book is definitely for you!"
Their
favorite part: "Pierce is a rockstar narrator.
She's bold, gutsy, and hyperaware-she might even be too brave for her own good.
We love a girl who isn't scared to take action. Pierce might be a little
reckless, but at least she's never a damsel in distress."
