Publisher Description

Meg Cabot, #1 New York Times best-selling author of the Airhead novels, brings listeners the first installment in an exciting fantasy series about the underworld. When 17-year-old Pierce spots John Hayden, her first impression is that he's a murderer. And she's right-sort of. Fighting a strange attraction she feels towards John, Pierce struggles to discover what's really behind a mysterious death-and what she discovers may make her wish she'd stayed in the dark. "[The] strong, amusing voice, the plot twists, and the possibility of romance will draw mystery and chick-lit readers alike."-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. ;) "

    " A fun take on the Greek myth of Persephone and Hades. A little over-the-top dramatic at times, but it fit the telling. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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 "

    " 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. "

    " 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 "

    " 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. "

    " This is a fluffy YA book about Hades, AND THAT IS AWESOME. 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "
