Book Review

Eve (Eve Trilogy #1)
by Anna Carey

I am completely in love with dystopian fiction, as dark and dreary as it may be. And although this story may be similar to other recently released titles (Wither by Lauren Destefano and Dark Parties by Sara Grant), I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! This story takes place in the future with America torn apart by plague, and as a result, a bad goverment rises to power. Eve has been sheltered from the harsh reality through propoganda and being raised in an all-girls government, boarding school. After graduation, she has high hopes of being an artist in the city, but on the night before commencement, Eve uncovers the dark truth... girls are being imprisoned and used for breeding. Upon learning this, she immediately flees the school. This takes place during the first part of the book, so the real meat of the story is Eve's journey, which includes romance, mystery, and action (definitely heavy on the romance). While this book is not destined to win any big awards, teens will definitely be drawn to the story, very tragic.

Look for this book on the shelf in October!
