What this book is about
Meg Cabot's YA paranormal romance reimagines the Persephone myth: Pierce Oliviera died briefly in a pool accident at age fifteen and encountered John, the lord of the Underworld. When her family moves to a small Florida town, John reappears. The novel is the first in a trilogy and ends on an unresolved note. Cabot's romantic YA is light and accessible, with a paranormal romance that avoids graphic content. Suitable for the YA audience it targets.
