Everlost is a place where souls of children go when they die, they arrive with no idea where they are and in the clothes they died in (unfortunately for some). Luckily good girl Mary is just around the corner and all you have to do is make a wish into a well you can throw a coin in to be accepted into her little world of happiness.


Allie isn't an idiot, there's something wrong with a few things in Everlost and her determined and strong willed character seeks answers, even from the darkest of spirits.I had been wanting to read this book for quite some time so when i finally got it i was eager to start reading....then I fell out with reading every few days and a book that should have been devoured in days took....well more days.

Everlost was enjoyable, quite different in many ways and the characters are all strong and likeable, I found a lot of the ideas rather interesting in particularly objects and forests being held in Everlost due to their value to people in life.

Well worth reading but not sure if I would read second, however Unwind is appealing to me.

When two kids are in a car accident they end up in a limbo world between life and death. They learn to navigate this new world they have entered and they must work together to figure out what to do next. This suspenseful book brings new adventures to the reader and keeps the reader wanting more. The reader is constantly learning alongside the characters, which is very exciting as a reader.

I'm a sucker for a good, fast plot, but this book has a fast-paced plot and really interesting, well-developed characters! The people in this book will make you think twice about how well we know ourselves and the people around us. That is, if you have time to think about all that during the non-stop action in this book. The story begins when two fourteen year olds who have never met before find themselves in Everlost, somewhere between life and death. Together they have to figure out how to navigate this strange world that overlaps our own, and work with, or against, the many other lost souls that they encounter. ( )

Addicting, creative, fascinating tale that weaves something that could have been either cliched or overly creepy into something brilliant and original.

Allie and Nick are dead, killed instantly in a car crash that involved their respective family's cars. According to the laws of the universe, they should have crossed over. But the thing is, not all children cross over. Some trip, stumble, or resist the journey into the light...and end up in Everlost, just like Allie and Nick have.

Everlost is a between-place, and Shusterman throws it wide open in amazing, utterly commendable style. Rarely does an author have the talent to make a world their own so fully, as well as flesh the characters that inhabit it. There are rules to be followed, monsters to be feared, leaders to be looked to. It is a full and fascinating world in its own right.

Allie and Nick are different from most Afterlights; they're not content simply to wander eternally, forgetting their lives and falling into ruts of endless patience. They want answers, they want life, and they refuse to take no for an answer.

But their quest will take them into the heart of New York and up and down the East Coast as they become enmeshed among Everlost's most well-known characters; Mary Hightower, who zealously protects the Afterlight children who come under her care; the Alter Boys, a rough and tumble gang who only respect might; the Haunter, who knows all kinds of tricks for interacting with the living; and the McGill, the horrific monster whose very name terrifies everyone who hears it. And the further the two go, the more they realize what powers they possess, and how they fit into the grand scheme of Everlost.

Weaving all these and more together, and exploring their relationships, their motivations and personalities, and in the end their destinies, Shusterman has truly made a stunning beginning novel to this trilogy. None of Everlost's components are heavy-handed or ridiculous. Any religious or scientific quarrels are neatly circumvented, as reaching the afterlife beyond Everlost is simply referred to as "getting where you're going." Real world places, things, and events are cleverly and tastefully referenced, often in unexpected and amusing ways (I especially found the significance of the Twin Towers to be creative and well-handled, and keep an eye out for a hilarious Amityville Horror reference.)

All in all, I can't wait to return to Everlost in the sequel. ( )

Book was great!!! I loved it!!! Skin jacking and all the other things in the book literally had me holding my breath. Suprising ending had me "woWed"! But, like stated before, it isnt as political as unwind. This book is soooooo worth reading!!!!!
