Episode description
Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. Our guest today is Gena Showalter, author of, her new novel, Everlife published in February by Harlequin Teen. Everlife completes her trilogy, which commenced with First Life and then Lifeblood.
Gena is a NYT and USA TODAY bestselling author of Lords of the Underworld, Otherworld Assassins, and Angels of the Dark, all series and all unputdownable. She also authored The White Rabbit Chronicles and the Original Heartbreakers series. And I could go on, but we only have so much time.
She’s been a National Reader’s Choice awardee and her romance novels have appeared in Cosmopolitan and Seventeen.
The Everlife Trilogy (close to 1500 pages), which I read in two days, is the story of life after life, that is, we live our eponymous first life, during which we make a choice between two warring factions that exist in the place we go to after we die in our first life. The two competing teams, if you will are Troika and Myriad. In essence, Troika is light and Myriad is shadow. Each has its benefits (seemingly) and our two protagonists Ten (Tenley Lockwood) and Killian (Flynn) although there are scores of well drawn characters, fight, compete, like and maybe love each other. The plot is riveting and the pace is breathtaking. It is a series you can’t put down and the conclusion is satisfying and revelatory.
If you like fantasy, science fiction, romance and adventure and violence, you will love this series.
