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

I liked this book better than the first one in the series, but I'm still not crazy about the series overall, probably because I'm not a huge fan of the Hades and Persephone story.
