Everlost

The Skinjacker Trilogy

By: Neal Shusterman

Narrated by: Nick Podehl

Length: 8 hrs

Publisher's summary

In this eerie and atmospheric novel, New York Times best-selling and award-winning author Neal Shusterman explores questions of life, death, and what might lie in between.

Nick and Allie don’t survive the car accident - and their souls don’t exactly get where they’re supposed to go. Instead, they’re caught halfway between life and death, in a sort of limbo known as Everlost: A shadow of the living world, filled with all the things and places that no longer exist. It’s a magical, yet dangerous, place where bands of lost kids run wild and anyone who stands in the same place too long sinks to the center of the Earth. When they find Mary, the self-proclaimed queen of lost souls, Nick feels like he’s found a home, but Allie isn’t satisfied spending eternity between worlds. Against all warnings, Allie begins learning the “Criminal Art” of haunting, and ventures into dangerous territory, where a monster called the McGill threatens all the souls of Everlost.

Great story

It's a fantastic book that really makes you get to know and care for the characters. Definitely worth the read.

AWESOME!!

This book was very good and the narrator shows a lot of expression and makes ot very interesting.

Great

I read this book in high school 7 years ago. I enjoyed it then and I enjoyed it now the book is great, and the narration is fantastic.

Good story, but predictable

This book almost scratched that itch. Maybe it's that it was predictable. I knew the big twist from early on. But still, it was exciting enough to keep my attention. Worth the read. However, the narrator didnt have much range with his charachters. Many sounded too "Beetle Bailey" goofy. (for those of you old enough to recognize the reference).

The creativity!

The way this author grasps you from beginning to end is almost a trap as you just have to keep going and going the story, plot twists, and end is AMAZING!

Awesome Book

Neal Shusterman delivers in a really interesting tale of being a ghost in the afterlife. I love almost everything about this book, except for two things. #1 - Although this is Nick Podel, I feel like this must be one of his early recordings because the narration often feels flat. #2 - Only the first 2 books in the trilogy are available on audible which kinda makes you wonder why you'd want to start a series you can't finish. I checked the library for the third book but no luck.

cool concept fun characters

I really enjoyed this book. it's a fun concept and interesting characters all with their own motivations. I really enjoyed the world building and lore aspects.

it was really interesting but

I didnt really like some of the choices that the characters made. Like there was zero thought sometimes. that and the redeeming of bad people was off putting.

Children’s book?

Not sure if I misunderstood, but this book seems to be written for kids/teens.

whistling S's 🤦

I mean this is a recording based solely on audio AND I had to pay for it; and almost all your S's whistle. goodness.
it's not a pronunciation issue. it is an audio quality or recording device issue.

as a free trial member I know for sure that I will not be purchasing an audio book nor membership

edit: also it's wack that there's no way to read or turn on subtitles incase you find it hard to concentrate on just the audio or can't understand the narrator.
I only tried this free trial cuz I was gunna purchase all three audio books in the everlost series but it is now apparent that I'm better of visiting a local library and renting or purchasing the physical copy of the book online
