![]() ![]() It’s a magical, yet dangerous place where bands of lost kids run wild and anyone who stands in the same place too long sinks to the center of the Earth.Īllie and Nick don’t survive the car crash, and end up in Everlost, where coins are more valuable than anyone knows, fortune cookies tell the truth, monsters are real, and the queen of lost souls lives in a once-beloved tower. Some are caught halfway between life and death, in a sort of limbo known as Everlost: a shadow of the living world, filled with all the things and places that no longer exist. Not every child who dies goes on to the afterlife. I love this series, and I was so completely wowed by the ending, that I don’t know how I’m going to wait until next year to read the next in the series, whenever it comes out.From the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of the Arc of a Scythe trilogy and Challenger Deep, the compulsively readable Skinjacker trilogy is now available in a collectible boxed set. We also meet Zin, a ripper with the coolest way of speaking ever! I love her too, and I so hope we get to see her in the next book! And then there’s Jackin’ Jill, another skinjacker who starts the clogs turning in Mary’s mind for more sinister plots and schemes. Milos is almost as disturbing as Mary, and will do anything for what he believes is love, and Squirrel and Moose take his lead. We re-meet Johnnie-O, Choo-Choo-Charlie, and Speedo, and I absolutely love Johnnie-O! He is just so funny! He’s great! The new characters we meet include a group of skinjackers Milos, Squirrel and Moose. We meet some new characters along the way, too, and re-meet some older secondary characters who become more important. She’s evil, and scary in her disturbing ways – and what’s even worse, she truly thinks she’s doing the right thing, and is as sickly sweet as ever. She is just evil, there is no other word for it. I said she was quite twisted and disturbing in my review of Everlost, but in Everwild, she goes above and beyond. We still have Nick, Allie, and Micky, and they’re great! Mary, however, is a whole different ball game. There’s nothing I can really add about the great characters I mentioned in the last review than to say is that they get better in this book. I said in my review of Everlost that it was really unique in its world building the world building didn’t stop with that book, it continues in Everwild, and there’s so much more to discover and be in awe of. We find out more about Everlost, about skinjackers and ecto-rippers, and we see the characters we followed in Everlost evolve in surprising ways. There were moments in this book when I was close to tears, there were moments when I was so disturbed and disgusted I didn’t want to read anymore – but couldn’t put the book down at the same time. Everwild is written in the same style as Everlost, which I can only describe as sweet, so there is nothing graphic or too violent that actually happens in the book, which I think just makes these bombshells even more surprising! I loved it! I cannot tell you just how mind blowing the plot of Everwild is! Despite the obvious detail in the blurb, there were so many things that happened in this book that would literally have me gawping at the book. ![]()
