— Booklist" Wow! I loved this book, seriously! I loved the concept, about the underworld. I was kind of scared to see Meg Cabot writing a darker book, but it actually turned out great. I totally want to read the next one, once it comes out in paperback. ;) "
— Michelle, 2/19/2014" A fun take on the Greek myth of Persephone and Hades. A little over-the-top dramatic at times, but it fit the telling. "
— Angie, 1/7/2014" Very juvenile. I could possibly see a 7 to 9 year old enjoying it. It just didn't make any sense and the plot was so all over the place I could barely keep track of what was going on. Weird and silly read. "
— Sam, 11/26/2013" Confusing is one word for this book. "
— Bek, 11/23/2013" I thought this book was thrilling and has a beautiful plot and amazing characters. it`s obviously really well thought out and written, and I can`t wait for the next one! You should definitley read this if you`re into greek mythology, horror or creepy magic necklaces. "
— Rosa, 11/20/2013" I really like this book but then again l love mythology especially about Greek myths I can't wait to read the second book!! "
— Chandra, 10/31/2013" such a good book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
— Lopana, 9/7/2013" I know Meg Cabot is a favourite YA author for many people, but she really doesn't do it for me. This one had many minor and major annoyances. I really couldn't handle this one. "
— Clarissa, 8/20/2013" I loved this book! It was great and i can't wait for the next one! "
— Kieran, 6/27/2013" Can't say much happens in this book but I have orded the next one so fingers x it gets better "
— Lyndsay, 5/4/2013" I have to abandon ship on this one. I got through the first quarter and wasn't loving this book. After reading reviews that the first part is best, I decided to stop. I can't relate with Pierce. She is far too whiny "
— Michelle, 3/7/2013" Ok, I love Meg Cabot, I really do. But this book was so hard to read. It had no plot, shallow/one dimensional characters and took forever to get to the point. "
— Samantha, 2/27/2013" Hmm, whatever Pierce did, said to John, he just DON'T care at all. Doesn't mean he DON'T love her, he just take it all and still love her... <3 "
— Dewi, 7/1/2012" It was really awkward since I read the second book of the trilogy rather than the first one first by accident. So by the end of the second book, I practically knew basically everything in the first book so I was kinda bored. Haha. "
— Aynab, 4/15/2012" This books made me love the Pershephone and Hades story so much! "
— Jennypara, 10/12/2011" Originally I thought it was dragging and way off mark, but in the end Meg Cabot threw in an interesting twist which caught my interest. However, If you are VERY open minded, READ IT "
— Hira, 9/3/2011" Persephone retold, loved it "
— Mary, 8/26/2011" This is a fluffy YA book about Hades, AND THAT IS AWESOME. <br/> <br/>I regularly choose Meg Cabot for a "beach read" style book - easy, comfortable, often funny. This one totally delivered. Bonus points for far south Florida island location and killer grandma. "
— Roxanne, 5/24/2011" Absolutely loved it! I couldn't put it down! "
— Phelicia, 5/24/2011" Abandon is a great book for teens, I enjoyed it so much, and I love Meg Cabot, her writing is flawless. Pierce is a rock star narrator. She's bold, brave, and never a damsel in distress. She is amazing. Meg did an amazing job with these characters. "
— Nikita, 5/23/2011" I was a little disappointed in this book. I liked the concept and it seemed like it had a lot of potential, but the plot was a bit loose. Some of the elements seemed really random. Plus it reminded me a little of twilight, which wasn't my favorite. It was okay, but not my favorite Meg Cabot. "
— Julricks27, 5/23/2011" I can't wait for the second book! "
— Susy, 5/23/2011" Summer 2012 can't come fast enough!!! Loved it! "
