Abandon by Meg Cabot

Meg Cabot fans will be thrilled to hear there is a new series on the way, with the first title, Abandon, just released. It’s all about Pierce, who is definitely not your average seventeen-year-old. She doesn’t quite fit in anymore – not since she died and came back to life. Everyone wants to know what happens after we die, but Pierce knows a little too much about the afterlife and she’s not telling. Because when she died she met HIM – terrifying, but compelling and incredibly handsome. Now, she and her mum have moved to Isla Huesos to get away from her past, but she keeps on meeting HIM in the most unusual circumstances. He insists upon rescuing her from danger and wants to return her to the place she fears the most - The Underworld.

Taking its inspiration from the Greek myth of Persephone, who spent half the year in the underworld with Hades and the rest of the year above ground, this is a magical but very believable story about what might just happen after we die. Read it and become hooked.
