2 out of 5: Eve by Anna Carey

Eve (Eve #1) by Anna Carey
Summary:
The year is 2032, sixteen years after a deadly virus—and the vaccine intended to protect against it—wiped out most of the earth’s population. The night before eighteen-year-old Eve’s graduation from her all-girls school she discovers what really happens to new graduates, 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.

Review:

Anna Carey has created a wicked and cruel way of torture in this dystopian novel. I enjoyed the new aspects of the this book -what happens to the new graduates. I was disappointed by the plot and characters.


I don't enjoy private school, or boarding school books, they tend to become very cliquey and predictable. Although Eve breaks out of the School very early in the book. She has become corrupted by the School. Once she is out in the wild and meets Caleb, there are certain moments where you were cursing about why Eve could be so silly!

For a 300 page book, this took me far too long to read. The beginning starts off with a good start but, the middle of the book is only about Eve running away. I was expect more action and more romance because on the cover it says
A gripping, unforgettable adventure -and a fresh look at what it means to love." -Lauren Kate
I was highly disappointed by Lauren's high review about this book -I enjoyed her book Fallen very much.
 The ending of the book is mediocre, there is a big reveal but aside from that, there is nothing else you motivate you to want to read the next book.
