Once I started reading I could not stop and I loved all the characters in this book especially the supporting characters.

This book was a whole lot easier to read than the last one (not saying that I didn't like the last one, cause I did, but I noticed I had a headache each time I read it because of the time narration jumping). I liked the flow of this one.
I really enjoyed the new characters as well as the old ones joining us again. Have to say Henry and Frank were my favorite new ones. Henry was just so sweet and excited to experience things. I was surprised I liked Frank as much as I did because when you meet him he's being quite the jerk to Pierce. But I don't know, getting to spend more time with him he grew on me. I especially liked when Kayla took in interest in him, I mean he's been in the Underworld for how long without any female interaction? It was cute. I liked how he'd call her Miss Kayla. I'm glad we got to find out why Alex doesn't like Seth Rector. Not only did he bully him (which from when you first meet Seth, totally doesn't seem like him) but there's the thing with their dads. I really can't believe they let Chris take the fall for something that they were all involved with and which Mr. Rector and Mr. Endicott are still involved with it seems. But I think it's very respectable that Chris doesn't want anything from them (seeming part of their money should be his). What can I say, I love Uncle Chris.
But OMG! What happened to Alex! I thought that they'd actually save him, not bring him back to life. And for a while there I was sure he was dead as in DEAD, NEVER COMING BACK. I was so heartbroken because I like Alex and was going to be so upset if he was dead for real because I hate when characters get killed off, especially when I'm really attached to them.
I'm still processing (and counting down the days till the next book) what happened that I can't even remember the rest of what I was going to say.
This book was better than the first and I can't wait for Awaken

REVIEW: http://theliteraturelion.blogspot.com/2012/05/review-underworld-by-meg-cabot.html
Meg Cabot supplies a sequel to the first book in the Abandon Trilogy that will leaves you wishing you were in the Underworld for the year! The characters that tie into Pierce and John's story in the Undeworld are fantastic, and I'm sure you'll be able to find a couple new characters to add to your list of favorite supporting characters!
The relationship between Pierce and John is a bit different in this one: it's stronger. They grow to trust one another and finally have that bond that was a bit lacking in the first one. Of course, there was a bond and all - but it seemed tethered, due to the insta-love.
Some of the main supporting characters in Abandon will make cameos in Underworld, but most of the main supporting characters in the sequel are new. Meg Cabot has a way of making you love each and every character - even their dark sides!
If you like quick-paced, mythology based novels, and great supporting characters - then this series is the one for you! Underworld is a fantastic addition to the Abandon trilogy, and it's leaving me waiting for the third book in the series!

WOW!!
This book is better than I could have expected. It was one of those pull you in from the first page, can't put down, up till 3 in the morning kind of books! I loved every single page. I love pierce she is so strong and independent ready to do anything for the people she loves no matter the costs and that is something to admire. While ready this book I couldn't help but to laugh at some of the things she would say or do it made me love her about a million times more. Also I didn't think it was possible to fall more in love with John Hayden, god he was perfect. You could just tell how much he loved her and all the things he went through to keep her with him, it was all just so sweet and adorable. But the person I loved most was mr. Smith he even though afraid of what John might do, still told him what was on his mind it took tremendous strength to stand up to John
And tell the ruler of the underworld that he was wrong very admirable. Alex... Ugh I disliked so much I thought he was rude and ignorant and just pain unpleasant, but all the shot that Pierce went through to talk to him and he still ignored her that pissed me off to no end, and then he had to pay the ultimate price that got everybody else dragged in that could be tremendously bad. Long story short amazing as always Mrs. Cabot has yet to disappoint me. Oh yeah, Ioooooove Hope, she's the best(:

Good second book. More of John's backstory is revealed and the relationship between him and Pierce is developed. I have a feeling there is more to Kayla than meets the eye and I can't wait to see what happens in book three with her and Frank, Alex, and the rest of the gang!

I enjoyed most of this book, but a lot of it seemed to be the same: jumping from one thing to another, no major plot. I do like John, but I kind of find it annoying how many times Pierce forgives him, and so easily as well. Overall, a good book, but not as good as Meg Cabot's others, in my opinion.

still good but it took place in about a grand total of two days, they need to slow their relationship down
