A Complete Trilogy to Binge: This gripping adventure is the start of a finished series that will keep you on the edge of your seat, perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and Divergent .

Review: Enjoyed it!!!! - I loved this book!!!! I was very excited to read this!!!! After the Plague hit, orphan girls were sent schools while the boys were being sent to labor camps. The girls go to school thinking they will graduate and be able to learn a trade at the city of sand. On the night before Eve's graduation, Arden tells her the real truth behind the schools. Eve realizes that once she graduates, she will be used for breeding. She then escapes the school. She has no idea where she is going, only that she has to find Califia. She ends up running into Arden again, ad they band together. They also run into a boy who lives out in the wild named Caleb. Caleb proves to Eve that mostly everything she has learned was a lie. Arden and Eve stay in the dugout with Caleb for awhile until more danger finds them. Eve is wanted by the King. I really liked the characters in this story. Arden is very tough. It was nice to be able to see her vulnerable side throughout the story. I also loved how I got to see the friendship build between Eve and Arden. Eve started out as one of those goody goody characters. She couldn't do anything wrong. Then she escaped and had to face things she never thought she would face. I loved being able to watch her grow and develop as a strong female character. Caleb was just a sweetheart. It was so romantic watching Eve and Caleb fall for each other. The females are taught that men are basically evil so it was nice to see Eve let her guard down and trust him. The story was well written and very original. Dystopian novels are becoming more and more popular. I for one, love them!!!! The story was action-packed and fast-paced. I wasn't expecting that ending. It was another ending that I cried over. Just to know that he helped her even though he knew the outcome made me cry even harder. It shows what true love really is. What a cliffhanger!!!! I can't wait to read the sequel Once!!! Hopefully they are reunited!!!!!!
Review: A Wonderful Surprise - To say that Eve surprised me would be a massive, massive understatement. The only reason I picked up this book to begin with was because I have an ARC of Once, Eve's sequel, sitting around, and I felt bad for neglecting it. I had fairly low expectations before going into Eve, and quite honestly, I expected my rating at the end to be at most two or three stars, after reading some of the negative reviews that almost assured I would have a similar experience. And I think it may be because of those very reviews that I had an experience almost completely opposite with Eve. Before even opening the pages Eve, I expected a boring read with mediocre characters and horrible world-building, as that is what most of the negative reviews led me to believe, but instead, what I got with Eve was a disturbing and emotionally raw novel with great characters that made me cry a countless amount of times. I found Eve to be a powerful and beautifully written little novel, and it was one that punched me in the gut over and over and over again. In the world of Eve, a disastrous plague has swept the entire nation and left ninety-eight of the entire population dying. After the aftermath of the plague, and after seeing her loved ones slowly fall at the hands of the plague, Eve is brought into the School - a housing place for young girls. At the School, the girls are fed, taught, and treated to until they turn eighteen. However, a day before her graduation from the School, Eve escapes to find out what really happens to the women after they graduate. Horrified by what she finds out to be the truth, she escapes from the School in a mission to go to a place called Califia; a place where she will be safe. But how will Eve, having been sheltered and kept from the outside world almost all her life, know who to trust? As I am writing this review, I am struggling to find another instance where a book has had as great of an emotional impact on me as Eve has. In fact, upon reading the very first pages in Eve, I found myself tearing up. This book is about love, it is about loss, it is about moving on, and, alongside that, it is about a young girl trying to run away from her future while also escaping from a deadly plague. And it handles all of that amazingly. "I'd once read about amputees, and how they had pains where their arms and legs used to be. Phantom limbs, they were called. I'd always thought that was the best way to describe my feelings about my mother. She was now just an ache for something I'd had lost." - quote taken from Eve Eve is not the smartest heroine you'll ever read about, or the strongest, and she is at times a bit selfish and difficult to like, but I just found that to be the effects of her being sheltered and monitored and lied to her entire life. She's at times naive, and she is imperfect, but she learns from her mistakes and she feels guilt for her wrong decisions, seemingly miniscule and incapable of harm to her, that, unfortunately, impacted other people's lives. Eve feels regret for those decisions she's made, and she betters herself as a person through those wrong decisions. Or, in other words, she's human. And she's a lot more of a believable character than half of the heroines in young adult dystopians on the market today. As well as Eve, the secondary characters, and Eve's love interest, Caleb, were incredibly likable and developed throughout the course of the novel. I have to say that my favorite character in Eve was Arden, and that my favorite relationship in Eve was the one between her and Eve. The two girls are incredibly different and not ideal friends at first, but throughout the novel they learn that they are similar in many ways, and their relationship has one of the most interesting and well-developed dynamics I've had the pleasure to read about this year. I only wish I could say the same for the relationship between the two central characters, Eve and Caleb. While I definitely found Caleb to be a likable character, and Eve an at times likable character, I was never really sold on their relationship together. It was sweet, and it wasn't insta-love, but to me it just felt like there was no basis behind the purpose of the romance. Though I guess sometimes relationships are like that in the real world, as well. While the novel itself is certainly not without its flaws - the biggest one pertaining to the world-building, or lack thereof, I found Eve to be an engaging and powerful read, set in a grisly and disturbing world that is scarily possible, and the emotional impact it had on me is one that I am sure to remember.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stayed Up Until 5am Cuz I Couldn't Put it Down.....
*by F***L on December 19, 2013*

Read It Thru the Night in 1 sitting!! I couldn't put this book down. It was poetic and spellbinding. I would go back and reread some parts because they were so good. I stayed up all night reading it and when I was almost done, jumped on Amazon and got the 2nd book in the series, "Once". Eve makes a lot of stupid moves, but it's not her fault. It is pointed out in the beginning of the book: she's book smart, NOT street smart. That is SO true, and in life as in the book that can make all the difference in the world when you're fighting to survive. I loved the characters and the stories. I wish there were more details, however horrid, of what happens exactly across the bridge once the girls graduate. I also don't know WHAT exactly happened in a certain book altering conflict with Leif, a character in the book. My question is was or wasn't she? It wasn't really clear, and I'm not going to be any more clear either. You'll figure it out 1 way or another. Caleb, yum yum YUM!! Sweet, cute, the knight in shining armor coming in on his white (or in this case black) horse to save the damsel in distress. Loved him. Want him. This book made me laugh, it made my pulse pound, it even made me cry, and that's nearly impossible to accomplish. I have NO IDEA what the negative reviews are about, this story makes complete sense in the context with which the girls grew up in, and the boys. There were some slight editing errors, but nothing major. Regardless, I'm glad I ignored them and bought this book. There's a free dystopian sampler if you want to get a feel for the book with Eve in it (search "free dystopian sample"). My recommendation? Get the book, and get it now as I feel it's amazing!! I hope you will as well, and I'm sure you'll be happy. It's a great book that makes you feel. Bravo!!
