Review
"A gripping, unforgettable adventure--and a fresh look at what it means to love."--Lauren Kate, New York Times bestselling author of FALLEN
Product Description
Where do you go when nowhere is safe? Sixteen years after a deadly virus wiped out most of Earths population, the world is a perilous place. Eighteen-year-old Eve has never been beyond the heavily guarded perimeter of her school, where she and two hundred other orphaned girls have been promised a future as the teachers and artists of the New America. But the night before graduation, Eve learns the shocking truth about her school s real purpose and the horrifying fate that awaits her. Fleeing the only home shes ever known, Eve sets off on a long, treacherous journey, searching for a place she can survive. Along the way she encounters Arden, her former rival from school, and Caleb, a rough, rebellious boy living in the wild. Separated from men her whole life, Eve has been taught to fear them, but Caleb slowly wins her trust . . . and her heart. He promises to protect her, but when soldiers begin hunting them, Eve must choose between true love and her life. In this epic new series, Anna Carey imagines a future that is both beautiful and terrifying. Readers will revel in Eves timeless story of forbidden love and extraordinary adventure. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

(What's this?)
I'm not entirely sure what to say about this title except to say that it wasn't the best YA dystopian I've ever read.
I did like the concept to this book and thought the initial ideas for it was quite good however what the author then did with those ideas left me feeling somewhat disappointed
I felt like the story went too fast. There was always something new happening. This meant that as soon as you got your bearing as a reader and thought you knew what was happening something else would kick off and suddenly you were thrown in a new direction. I like twists in a storyline as much as the next person but it just got to the point where it felt like the author was throwing in it for the sake of it.
This therefore meant I never really felt like I got to know the main character and therefore didn't really care what happened to them.
I felt that this story itself while aiming to be a YA title was pitched a little young and therefore it felt like I was been patronised throughout the entire story.
All in all not a series I'll be worried about continuing with any time soon.

If I had to describe Eve in one word, I'd probably choose 'Watery'. The idea is very good, a great idea for a Dystopian but it never really delivers. It definitely has it's good points but I found quite a few things I didn't like about it.
Eve is a pretty weak character and I never really 'got' her. I didn't understand why she disobeyed the rules of her school, considering she's a model student, has lived there a very long time and knows of no reason why she shouldn't trust them. She's been brought up to believe that boys are basically savages, only after one thing but of course, almost as soon as she meets Caleb she's all, 'Ooh, my face is near his chest!' Honestly, this chick has a chest fetish.
The other characters are stronger, with a lot more substance which is why I continued reading. Arden should have been the main character, as she has a much stronger voice and she's a lot tougher emotionally. Plus, she has the mentality of a tough Dystopian chick. I actually got to know her character, that she likes playing pranks on people and she's easily annoyed.
Caleb was mostly cardboard hottie but with a few redeeming qualities, mostly his past. Won't say too much (Spoilers) but his past is definitely intriguing.
The story is almost as weak as our main character. The idea is that most of America has been wiped out after a Plague (no specific details about that) and now wherever Eve is living is ruled by an Evil King. Who uses the school girls to breed lots of babies that will become citizens (or slaves) of his Empire. Eve is caught up in it all and chooses to escape. Her and Anden end up living in a sort of underground bunker for a while with a gang of kids I could only describe as the Lost Boys. Guess who's Wendy. Eve and Arden plan to make their way to a safe haven and encounter friends and foe along the way.
The story didn't really leave me wanting to read more and I only chose to read it because it's a Dystopian! I don't think I'd recommend it to anyone but if you have it, well, it's a quick read.

(What's this?)
In post apoloypictic plague america eve has brought up within a school for orphans, believing she will graduate into the new city. However on the eve of her graduation she learns that they have infact been bred for a baby farm to provide the residents of the city with children, and not only that but the king himself has selected her to make him an heir. Having been brainwashed to the dangers of men Eve escapes to the outside world and slowly befriends a boy as she heads for refuge.
Eve is fairly well written but deoesnt stand out from similar literature in any way apart from perhaps its graphic descriptions. The plot is predictable and Eves obliviousness to the glaring dangers are at times cringeworthy.
Its an ok read but not one i'd go back to or be inspired to read the sequel
