Dec 21, 2011
I haven't heard people talking too much about the first book in this series "Eve", but as I had read it and quite enjoyed it I decided to give the sequel a try. This sequel is better than most I have read in any Young Adult series for a long time. It was a definite page turner with a conclusion that has you annoyed at how long you have to wait for the next book(as this book doesn't even come out until July 2012, I'm guessing it is going to be quite a long wait!). I have to be honest, I

A good solid four, not wavering to 3 or anything. Significantly better than Eve. ;) Glad I sticked with the series.
For the past few months, Eve has been living in Califia, a haven for women living outside the reign of the King. But when she learns her new home may not be safe for her anymore, she escapes in hope of finding Caleb—whom she had to leave behind in order to stay in Califia—but quickly finds herself in the City of Sand, home of the King who pursues her.

If you’ve read my review for EVE you’ll know I LOVED the book and I read it in four hours. So when ONCE arrived at my house RIGHT before Christmas, I couldn’t have been more excited. But I was afraid to read it because I’m impatient and I hate waiting. EVE doesn’t come out until July so I knew it would be at least a year from now (if not more) until we saw the next book but I couldn’t resist reading it. I am kicking myself now because the ending is just plain torture.

This review will be SPOILERISH if you haven’t read EVE, the first book in the series. Beware. In order to get the full appreciation for this book I would highly recommend reading EVE first.
When thinking about writing a review for ONCE, it’s hard to come up with something that doesn’t give things away. This post will be vague for that reason. I finished the last half of the book last night and loved it. In fact, I liked this one better than EVE.

I want to start off by thanking the author, Anna Carey, for choosing me as her winner for an autographed arc copy of ONCE on twitter. I was at work when I got the tweet from her and I couldn’t have been more excited. Sadly, at that time I hadn’t read Eve (I had just gotten it) but I was excited, nonetheless. (It’s been a book I’ve been wanting to read since before it came out) If you’ve read my review for EVE you’ll know I LOVED the book and I read it in four hours. So when ONCE arrived at my ho

Eve find refuge on Califia, but she can't escape the King's soldiers forever. When she is captured and brought to the City of Sand, she learns why the King has been hunting her, and the role he intends her to fulfill. Eve feels desperate and trapped- until she she reunited with Caleb inside the city walls. Together, the will enact a plan as daring as it is dangerous. But will Eve once again risk everything-her freedom, her life- for love?

Pretty cover, as to the story agh, I don't know. Sounds... Blah. The first one was a bit disappointing, but I just gotta read this one to know if it will get better or just worse. What I really want to know is why the king wants Eve, some special reason with her DNA? Or does he just want her cause he thinks she is some hot piece of ass?
Oh us readers, we gotta do what we gotta do; the lengths we have to go to find the truth!

I got lucky with this book. My friend works at a bookstore and had a pre-proof copy. It's not actually being released until June or July of this year. But I got to read it! It was fantastic.

*screams* Okay...
Title: Amazing
Cover: Beautiful
Love Triangle: Nope (Yay!)
Seriously, I loved Eve and I hope that Once is just as good.

A sequel that manages to top its predecessor is rare, but it happens, and Once is such a book. It's just as exciting and haunting as Eve but the characters are more mature, have more depth. I couldn't put Carey's newest novel down and I'm so excited for the last book in the trilogy!
