Publisher's summary

Where do you go when nowhere is safe?

Sixteen years after a deadly virus wiped out most of Earth’s 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 she’s 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 Eve’s timeless story of forbidden love and extraordinary adventure.

ok

This book starts out good then gets slow/stupid and then the very end is good. I would say skip it, except; the ending makes a promising premise for the next installment.

If you like Divergent you will like this too

Any additional comments?

This was a great series. My kids and I listened to all of the books in this one and all enjoyed them. Worth the credit.

Awesome Find!

This book is by far one of my favorite finds on Audible. I found it while just browsing and cannot be happier. The narrator did an excellent job, it was an easy listen, and I could not put it down. I loved the story and thought it was extremely well written (not Dickens, mind you, but great all the same!). I loved it so much, that as soon as I finished with this, I immediately purchased the second book in the trilogy "Once". And, the sequel is just as good as the first. Take my advice and get this book. You will not be disappointed!

Didn’t finish

I didn’t finish it. I didn’t like the person reading the book. The story was ok but then again I didn’t finish it for a reason.

A new world filled with love and action!

Would you consider the audio edition of Eve to be better than the print version?

I really do prefer listening to books because its the most practical and exiting way to get the story. Even dough I don't have english as my mother-tongue, its easy to understand the language used in this book. Sometimes the narrator really annoys me, but I really liked this one!

What did you like best about this story?

I love books were you are taken into a new world. I think its the perfect amount of both action and love in it. I don't like books to be overfilled with love...

What about Tavia Gilbert’s performance did you like?

I love the way she really "becomes" the characters! I can tell by the way she uses her voice which character is speaking, and that is really handy. I am also very happy that her voice ins't annoying.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A world full of lies, soon to be revealed.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend this book to anyone who seek a book series that will drag you into a new world.

Makes You Think

I am more into supernatural stuff, but I bought this book for Tavia Gilbert, who I feel is the best narrator ever. That said, I was into it, the story is different, not very plausible maybe, but it pulls you in. The writing is smooth and it flows nicely, very visual. It ends abruptly, I see there is another book in the series and I will download that eventually, but I'm not rushing for it. If there was a different narrator, I don't think I would like it as much, Tavia Gilbert is just really good, so I'm going to recommend this one, if for no other reason then her reading of it.

Interesting and Thoroughly Enjoyable

This was one of those books that I just wasn’t sure was going to be that good, but I changed my mind once I began reading the book. The author does an excellent job of pulling the reader into the story and making us want to read more and more and more until the book is done. It is a unique twist to the dystopian future of the world and what those left have to live through. The character was very weak in the beginning and I didn’t want to like her. But the way Anna Carey develops her character, you find yourself beginning to understand and pull for her. This may have been a book for the younger audience, but as an older reader I definitely found it an excellent read and have even recommended it to others. I enjoyed it so much that I have purchased the second and third book in the trilogy. That is always the mark of a good read!

Title may be misleading but try reading it anyway.

Although written for a young adult audience, I found the plot and characters developed enough to hold my interest. There are some solid moral viewpoints that have me wondering where the author is heading with this series. At least I'm hoping there will be a continuation.

Pretty good however, I couldn't get into 2nd book

This book was pretty good. I enjoyed it and was very interested in listening, however, the second book didn't capture my attention.

My Favorite!!

I read this book in high school and I’ve been looking for it for the past 2 years!! It is my absolute favorite. I would come home and read it, and back then I did not like reading lol. Thought I’d give it a listen and refresh my memory on the story. I love the presentation by the reader on here! Love love love
