Everneath by Brodi Ashton
“I had been in his
arms, but I hadn’t seen his face for a century. It was the same…. ‘You… you’re
still the same Nikki. You survived…. I mean, I’ve searched for you—for someone
like you—for thousands of years…. You have no idea what this means. This.
Never. Happens. Nik, you don’t have to go to the Tunnels. You can stay with me.
Become an Everling.’” (Page 5)
Nikki is a seventeen-year-old girl, wrenched from her normal
world into Everneath, where she must stay for a century with a guy named Cole.
Everneath is a place in-between earth and hell; in this place there are
immortal creatures who are called Everling. However, in order to stay immortal
they must feed off the energy of humans. Most of the humans, though, do not
survive, being fed off, and go to a place called the Tunnels where the humans
must spend eternity suffering. However, Nikki survived, because she has special
ties to the Everling. After Cole fed off her, she was given a choice: stay
with Cole and become an Everling or go to the Tunnels.
