During her brief sojourn in the afterlife, Pierce met John, the death deity in charge of riding herd on the recently deceased. This particular heroine is Pierce Olivera, a teenage girl who survived a near-death-experience after nearly drowning in her family's pool. Happily, Awaken hits stores on Tuesday, and by now Cabot's many fans should know what to expect: lots of snappy dialogue, a broody, bossy, quietly devoted love interest, and a heroine discovering the power of taking names and kicking butt. I read it as the minute we received it (because Cabot's books are always fun), but if I had any self-control I would have followed my own advice and waited until the final book in the trilogy was released.


I've been waiting a whole year to review Meg Cabot's novel Underworld, the middle book in her Abandon trilogy.
