Rating: ★★½
The second book in the "Abandon" series picks up where the first book left off, Pierce is in the underworld for her own safety from the furies that are trying to kill her by possessing people around her... even her grandmother.
Pierce is struggling with the idea of having to stay in the underworld permanently and never getting to see her family again. A struggle that becomes even harder when she somehow receives a video message on her cell phone of her cousin Alex in a horrible situation.
She insists John take her back to earth so that she can rescue Alex, much to John's dismay.
The entire book pretty much is about her journey back to earth to rescue Alex, and learning more about John's mysterious past.
In my opinion, this whole book could've been covered in a few chapters. It didn't really feel informative, or keep me engrossed. It still was a decent read, but I'm really hoping that the next book is more captivating.
I mean, really? The whole book about basically one day? While that sort of format might work for other authors/books, it definitely did NOT work well for this one.
Sorry, Meg Cabot.
As you could see from my previous post, I was actually excited to read this book, but I found myself kind of drifting when reading this. Maybe it was because I went on a trip to Utah for a few days, and had to pause my progress on the book? I don't know. Maybe you guys will like it more than I did?
Let me know your thoughts...
