Review: Eve , by Anna Carey

Looking for a new Dystopian novel ?
Review: Eve - Book #1 Eve Series - Anna Carey - October 2011
As the world moves from the Supernatural and Twilight , we come face to face with a new re-vamped genre Dystopian and The Hunger Games. When I heard about this book, I hadn't heard all raving in fact the reviews were quite mixed and pointed on the down side.  However as soon as I opened the book and discovered that the opening quote for Eve by Anna Carey was a quote from one of my all-time favourite Dystopian novels "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood , I knew I would enjoy the book and I did as it brought forth a number of different twists. We are presented with a world that years ago , a plague struck the cities and everyone over the age of 18 passed leaving behind lots of girls and boys. The girls and boys were separated and attended their schools till they were 18 , told that they would have a chance in the big world doing a trade of their choice. However, on the night of their graduation , Eve discovers that the females are in fact being housed as breeding machines and that as Valedictorian Eve is to be handed over to the king and used to produce an heir.  Desperate to escape , Eve with the help of Teacher escapes but along the way she has to be careful she isn't caught. Eve meets up with a gang of boys who escaped the working farms and this part of the story reminded me of Wendy and the Lost Boys as Eve takes on the nurturing and teaching role. Can Eve learn to survive with the help of newfound friend Caleb or will the King's men outwit Caleb and Eve be delivered to the King as his new breeder ?
Discover the Destiny and Fate that lies upon our character in "Eve" by Anna Carey.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
