Awaken

Today I finished Awaken by Meg Cabot.  This is the third book in the Abandon trilogy (Abandon, Underworld, Awaken).  The trilogy is about a teenage girl name Pierce who has a NDE (near death experience) and escapes from the underworld.  After her NDE, strange things, continue to happen to her.

I like most of what Meg Cabot writes, both adult and young adult, and this trilogy was no exception.  She writes about characters that you can root for...you want them to win no matter what situations they encounter.  What I really love about this series is that it is based on the Greek myth of Persephone and Hades.  It is not a re-telling of the myth, but a modern day throw-back to the story.

My rating for the series - 4 out of 5 stars.
