"Everneath" {by Brodi Ashton} Book Club Ideas

MARCH BOOK CLUB:
"Everneath"
By: Brodi Ashton

HOW IT ALL BEGAN:

Kellie and I like to attend local author signings when we can and we often find ourselves seated at "The Kings English" waiting to hear a new author speak.
Late last summer we were at such a signing where we went to hear Ilsa Bick speak about her new book, "Ashes." For some reason, there was a very small turn out and Kellie and I found ourselves sitting in a tight circle with the author and three other women. (It turned out to be one of our favorite author events since it was so personal!)
At the end of the signing, we started chatting with the other three women who were in attendance and were surprised to find that they were all authors! We were thrilled to be in a circle of so many fabulous women who then each told us about their books.
*Enter Brodi.

Book Summery: Last spring, Nikki Beckett vanished, sucked into an underworld known as the Everneath, where immortals Feed on the emotions of despairing humans. Now she's returned- to her old life, her family, her friends- before being banished back to the underworld... this time forever.

She has six months before the Everneath comes to claim her. Nikki longs to spend these months reconnecting with her boyfriend, Jack, the one person she loves more than anything. But there's a problem: Cole, the smoldering immortal who first enticed her to the Everneath, has followed Nikki to the mortal world. And he'll do whatever it takes to bring her back- this time as his queen.

This months book club was a very special and unique experience, the author Brodi Ashton joined in on our discussion.  It was so fun to have Brodi there, she is such an enthusiastic and happy person who has a passion for writing.  It was very interesting to learn about the writing process of the book as well as to hear her insights on our thoughts, ideas and discussion questions, she also seemed intrigued by some of our interpretations of some of the themes and events in the book.
