Underworld was the second book in the Abandon series by Meg Cabot. This version of Persephone and Hades is moving right along. Underworld by Meg Cabot is a book you will be sad to have missed. It is so wonderful, and I could just reread it over and over. I just love how Meg Cabot has really made the myth her own and went with it. The way Meg Cabot has built the story, Awaken is going to just blow the tops off of both Abandon and Underworld, which I am super excited about. The ending was an absolute killer! The wait for Awaken is going to be intense indeed. They all brought something different to the story. In Underworld, a lot of new characters are introduced, and I really loved them all. Pierce really grows as a character in Underworld, which made me like her even more. Readers learn so much more about his character and background in Underworld, which was neat. He is such a complex character and has such charm – I can’t help but to love him. The plot is always intense, and the scenes between Pierce and John are just adorable. Everything is new and exciting, since I never know what changes Meg Cabot is going to have made. Meg Cabot has taken the myth of Persephone and Hades and modernized and changed it, which makes this series so much fun to read. Quite literally, by about page 3 I was completely sucked in and didn’t put Underworld down until I had finished. I cannot wait for Awaken, book 3, after the awesome that was Underworld.

It was enticing, quick paced, and one heck of a read. I am happy to share that Underworld was basically everything I was looking for in a sequel. After reading Abandon, I simply could not wait to read Underworld.
