A series of YoungAdult novels written by MegCabot. The series is a modern retelling of the [[ClassicalMythology Greek Myth of Persephone and Hades]].
Pierce Oliviera had a near death experience. More like a death, actually. After drowning in her pool, Pierce woke up in the Underworld where John Hayden, Lord of the Underworld, chose her to be his consort. Frightened, Pierce escaped back into the realm of the living.
Two years later, Pierce and her mother move to her mother's hometown of Isla Huesos. Pierce attempts to move on but feels John's presence everywhere.
There's another presence though, a much more unsettling force. There's the Furies, vengeful spirits who want nothing more than to hurt Pierce and make John suffer.
Pierce begins to learn more about the history and secrets of Isla Huesos, the Underworld, her family, and John himself and begins to fall in love with the man she once feared.
Books in the Series:
* ''Abandon'' (2011)
* ''Underworld'' (2012)
* ''Awaken'' (To be released in 2013)

* BigBreastsBigDeal: Kayla is a Type 2. She plans on getting reduction surgery.
* BigManOnCampus: Seth Rector, leaning towards JerkJock.
* BookDumb: Pierce, following her accident, just can't perform well in school. Almost all of the kids in New Pathways and D-Wing count.
* CatchPhrase: Check yourself before you wreck yourself
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The Persephone Diamond helpfully alerts Pierce whenever Furies are near by turning black.
* DemonicPossession: How the Furies operate. They are able to take over a WeakWilled person and control them. Apart from the Persephone Diamond, there's no way of detecting them apart from normal humans.
* DoubleStandard: Pierce is so disgusted by the DoubleStandard others have towards the relationship between Mr. Mueller and Hannah that she takes matters into her own hands.
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Hannah]]
* EvilMatriarch: [[spoiler: Pierce's grandmother]]

* TallDarkAndHandsome: John
* TeacherStudentRomance: Mr. Mueller and Hannah

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: [[spoiler: Pierce's Grandmother, The Rector family]]
* WifeHusbandry: Implied. [[spoiler: Pierce is made sure to meet John when she's little so she will meet him again when she dies at an older age. The plan initially involved Pierce's mother.]]

* WifeHusbandry: Implied. [[spoiler: Pierce is made sure to meet John when she's little so she will meet him again when she dies at an older age. The plan initially involved Pierce's mother.]]
Pierce Oliviera had a near death experience. More like a death, actually. After drowning in her pool, Pierce woke up in the Underworld where John Hayden, Lord of the Underworld, chose her to be his consort. Frightened, Pierce escaped back into the realm of the living.
Two years later, Pierce and her mother move to her mother's hometown of Isla Huesos. Pierce attempts to move on but feels John's presence everywhere.
There's another presence though, a much more unsettling force. There's the Furies, vengeful spirits who want nothing more than to hurt Pierce and make John suffer.
Pierce begins to learn more about the history and secrets of Isla Huesos, the Underworld, her family, and John himself and begins to fall in love with the man she once feared.
