![]() Nick wants to help the dead reach the light at the end of the tunnel, but Mary Hightower, their self-proclaimed queen and a dangerous fanatic, is determined to keep them trapped in Everlost for all of eternity. Mary Hightower wants to trap the children forever, and joins Pugsy Capone, Death Boss of Chicago, who gains allies in a terrible way.īook Synopsis After the events of Everlost, Nick and Allie are on separate paths-and Everlost, the limbo land of dead children, is at war in this riveting novel from New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Neal Shusterman. 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.About the Book In this riveting sequel to "Everlost," Nick, the Chocolate Ogre, wants to help the children of Everlost reach the light at the end of the tunnel. 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.
