The Blurb On The Back:

Where do you go when nowhere is safe?


Sixteen years after a deadly virus wiped out most of the Earth’s population, the world is a perilous place. Eighteen-year-old Eve has never been beyond the heavily guarded perimeter of her school, 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 she’s ever known, Eve sets off on a long, treacherous journey, searching for a place she can survive. Along the way she encounters 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.

The Verdict:

Anna Carey’s YA dystopia, the first in a trilogy, has an interesting premise but lacks a convincing world and relies on contrivance to keep the plot moving. The titular character was too passive for my tastes and I didn’t buy into her romance with Caleb (little more than a cipher). As a result, I won’t be reading on.

EVE was released in the UK on 5th November 2011. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the free copy of this book.
