Abandon by Meg Cabot

Abandon by Meg Cabot, 304 Pages
Book 1 of the Abandon Series

From the author of the Princess Diaries comes a trek into the realm of Greek Mythology.  Supposedly this book is a retelling of Persephone and Hades. However, after diving into the story, we discover that is not the case at all. To not give too much away, the main character, Pierce, meets John, a death deity (not exactly Hades)- once as a 7 year old, once as a 15 year old (she meets him after her death) and again at 17 (with more than a few interactions). During their "run-ins" they quickly fall in love and he asks her to rule the Underworld with her. The story is choppy at best and will have you scratching your head a few times. It is written in first person. While I did complete the book in 2 hours, it was a slow read for a majority of the story and did not really get good until more than halfway through the book.
