Tavia Michaels has discovered that she’s an Earthbound—a fallen goddess with the power to remake the Earth—and that a rival faction of Earthbounds, the Reduciata, has created a virus that is literally wiping swaths of the planet out of existence.

Tavia is captured and imprisoned before she can act on this information, along with her eternal lover, Logan. Huddled in a claustrophobic cell, they lose track of the days, their attempts to escape proving as ephemeral as Tavia’s newly gestating powers. But then Tavia and Logan are mysteriously rescued. . . .

They’re brought to the underground headquarters of the Curatoria, another group of Earthbounds that Tavia doesn’t fully trust. There, she’s told that she can save the Earth before it disappears. She agrees.

Tavia quickly realizes that she isn’t like other Earthbound, and as her abilities continue to awaken, they begin to threaten her centuries-long relationship with Logan. When Benson—Tavia’s former best friend and romantic interest—appears at Curatoria headquarters, Tavia will again have to make a choice about who to be with even as she tries to stop the virus that is destroying the world and uncover the truth about the two Earthbound organizations that have her tangled up in their webs.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 9 Up—After discovering in Earthbound (Penguin, 2014) that she is a fallen goddess with the power to remake the Earth, Tavia is imprisoned along with eternal lover Logan by a rival faction that is set on destroying humanity with a virus. Mankind's fate hangs in the balance. A tense read that will leave fans of the series eager for the next book.

From Booklist

In Pike’s second in her Earthbound series, Tavia Michaels has come to grips with her fallen goddess powers, but she is desperately trying to remember the harsh secret of her past lives. Captured by the evil Reduciata, which has created a virus that’s wiping out the world’s population, Tavia uses her resurging skills to craft an escape plan. Just when the plan appears doomed, she is rescued by medical personnel from the Curatoria, the Reduciata’s rival earthbound faction, and secreted away to its underground facility. Tavia, who has been warned not to trust the Curatoria, especially its leader, Daniel, must also grapple with the knowledge that she alone has the power to save the world. Readers who loved Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games (2008) will find much in this series to enjoy. Tavia has far more fantastical powers than Katniss, but her struggle to choose between two lovers and her determination to survive so she might save others will ring familiar. It’s another thrilling adventure fantasy featuring a strong young woman pitted against evil forces that will have readers eagerly awaiting the third installment. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: New York Times best-selling author Pike will be on your radar with this highly publicized series. Grades 8-12. --Frances Bradburn

If you are expecting this to be as good as Wings ... you may be disappointed.

I really liked Pike's first series (Wings), so I was excited to find she'd started another series. I like the themes she's using in this series--reincarnation, love that spans thousands of years, supernatural powers, the possibility that you can fight your own destiny. Somehow I just feel like this series isn't as well-written as her last. Everything seems rushed, and I don't find any of the characters particularly ... likeable. I like strong female leads, and Tavia just isn't one. The character fights to be independent and strong, but she's so unlikeable that it just doesn't come across well. Her relationships with other people also seem rushed and insincere. There is no basis for her affections for anyone; you don't ever get to read any build-up to her relationships or anything. It's fairly disappointing. The series so far is meh at best (two novels in). Usually I become very invested in a series (like I was with Wings) but this one I keep putting down, and I have to make myself go back to it. I am going to keep reading it through the end of the series because I hate leaving off like that. But it's not really a series that I can get excited about.

And just once, I would like to read a novel or series of this particular genre that DOESN'T involve a love triangle. The basic frame and set-up of this story is a replica of Wings. Which isn't necessarily bad; most series like this one unfortunately involve a love triangle. But a change would be refreshing.

Trilogy well worth reading.

I have way too many books........but I saw the first of this trilogy in a dollar store and bought it because it looked different. It was. I didn't even realize there was another. I told my sister about it and she said did I know there was a book 2 and 3? So I had to buy the next one......Earthquake. It was so good I couldn't put it down. A mystery, love story, thriller and fantasy all rolled up in one. Then I went and got the third one, too. Highly recommend.

Put on your seatbelt! This novel starts fast and continues even faster! I fell in love with Earthbound, but I have to admit Earthquake was even better. There is one surprise after another, some jaw dropping shocking surprises. This sequel picks up where Earthbound left off. The ending certainly indicates that there will be a 3rd. I can 't wait.

Extremely disappointing sequel. The science portions seemed reasonable well researched but the charm of the first book was gone from everything to the plot, the characters as well as the core of the story. I did not feel it. At all.

After reading this book, the second in the series, it made the first book much more understandable. I actually went back and reread Earthbound and enjoyed it much more. Interesting story line. Excited to see what happens next.

The book manages to keep the reader guessing. It reveals just enough for you to hypothesise. I can't quite explain how well this book was written. It was by far one of the best books I've read

Fabulous new dystopian idea!

Slow starter but good read

I took longer than expected to read this book, I just couldn’t get into it like I did Earthbound. It felt a bit slow going.

However I persevered and I’m glad I did because when it picked up I really enjoyed it, the last half of the book I couldn't put down.

I don’t really like the love triangle between Tavia, Logan & Benson. Normally a love triangle keeps you interested but to me this one just felt wrong. I’m sure the next instalment will provide more information into it and why it’s taking place but at the moment I’m just not feeling it.

It’s a strange story this one, but it is intriguing and I will be reading the next instalment when it’s released….

Great book
I wanted to know more back story of Logan and Tavia and find out what type of a person Logan was. I like the mystery of him.

I don't really like Benson he is just kinda boring for me and hasn't got much to him.

I hated Tavia for leaving Logan and that she didn't find out more about her past. The ending made me very upset with her and air felt bad for Logan :/
Can't wait until the next book.
