Abandon

Abandon Trilogy

Mysterious and intriguing and yet hauntingly beautiful at the same time . . . I love the way Meg has taken the Hades and Persephone story and actually made it unique and different. * The Rest Is Still Unwritten Blog *

 

I can promise you that the Underworld has never been so appealing! * The Dream of Books Blog *

 

[Cabot] manages to write a deep, dramatic story and still weave it with a certain level of wittiness, which grips even the most serious reader. * Inkscratchers Blog *

 

Meg Cabot's Abandon is similar to other dark fiction books such as the Twilight series. Although fans of the author will be surprised at how different this tale of the underworld is from the stories of Princess Mia, they will not be disappointed. * Hythe Herald *
