4 to hell and back stars
Eve is the last real woman on earth, there are others but they are in a form of a nymph, deadly to children and to men, turning men into aphids. She's lost everyone who ever meant anything to her, and no matter how committed she is to dying just the same, something about her is different making her immune to the disease.
Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light. I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

I will start off by saying this is probably one of the hardest books I've ever read. At about 18% I put it down and almost didn't pick it back up. I slept on it. Thought about it. I almost picked up another book, but I couldn't- I had to to see this through.

HOLY FREAKING SHIT! Like for real!
I decided to read this book, which is definitely outside of my comfort zone after meeting the fabulous Pam Godwin at a signing. She said there is romance in it, so of course, I was like I am in! I started this book today and couldn't put it down. I felt so many things while reading this story: heartbreak, fear, anxious and love.

4 Ladybug stars!
Dead of Eve was an exciting and intriguing science fiction/apocalyptic novel that is the first in a trilogy.
A virus has spread throughout the world, killing off women and children. The men who are infected turn into a bug-like creature that feed off of the living. Somehow Evie is not effected. Her and her husband have been staying safe in their home for a couple of months.They have the means to survive with their food supply, weapons, and skills.

Holy Fucktoids!
This books is in a category all by itself, no comparison, no debate!
Brilliant. Thrilling. Horrific. Suspenseful. Apocalyptic. Imaginative. Lustful.
This story consumed me, devoured me whole, and won't ever let me go. I am awed by this author, captivated by the complexity of the story, and fearful that I may not survive until the next book comes out!

***** 4 Stars *****
I thought this was going to be about zombies, but the fantasy involves a lot more than just mindless walkers. The creatures are more like mutated monsters that have the ability to move quickly.
Their infectious bite left the world with only a few survivors.
And only one woman.
As Evie struggles to survive, strange things happen to her body because she's evolving too. As she travels around the world to find a cure, she finds allies to help her on her journey.

4 stars. Excellent suspense throughout the book. Kept me awake at night. Good writing! It’s apocalyptic sci fi.
Emotionally engaging. I didn’t want to stop reading. It reminded me of Stephen King stories: good story, creative characters, violence, some good people die. It also felt part Star Wars: lots of fight scenes and being in the belly of the beast. There are some loving relationships. They support the plot in an interesting way. I liked the idea of Evie using something from men.

If you like apocalyptic genre do not be discouraged by my rating, writing was excellent and you will probably love this book. I loved it myself and would rate it with 5 stars until two thirds... Than I could not stomach what was happening and it kind of ruined whole story for me so I am going with middle rating even though writing style really enraptured me.

I was bored out of my mind. I felt like the story wasn't whole, that things didn't add up. I also felt like Evie's story was way over, even though it apparently has just begun. Typical that she is just one woman, and got three men loving her. I kept waiting for the book to be over. It's also typical that I didn't enjoy the book, while other seem to love it. I finished it though, so applause to me.

Amazing book and one of the BEST heroines I have EVER read.
"Your intimidation is only effective with me unarmed and restrained. Unlock my restraints and fight me like the little man bitch that you are."
Yup,that's our heroine,Evie

Okay, so this book is an unrepentant ridiculous sci-fi sexy mess, that somehow still has really human moments. But it's so damn weird. And yet I like it?
You probably shouldn't trust my judgement when it comes to books about giant mutant aphids, lots o' guns, and boning. But hey, I (kinda) like what I like.

Like a feminist's wet dream and the politically correct's nightmare all in one book.
So the world ended with a Muslim extremist movement dropping a virus that turned humans into insect-like creatures called Aphids. All woman-kind have been wiped out save for one, Evie Delina. Now Evie is special: she moves like these creatures while having an uncanny connection to them. This sounds a lot like Resident Evil to be honest, with a lot of extra side dishes to the heroine.

What in the apocalyptic world did I just read? This is a book unlike any that I have ever read. Pam Godwin has created an awesomely horrific new world where you have to fight just to live. The characters she has created are wonderfully complex and devotedly delicious. I have fallen in love with three remarkable men. Three men who are completely different from one another, with their own strengths and weaknesses, but who all have one goal in common, to guard and protect the last unaffected woman

This author has a clear, easy to read way of writing, with pretty clean text. The idea behind this plot - a virus that turns everyone into bugs? Sweet. A kick-ass heroine? Nice. Sex? Bonus!
As it happens, once I hit the eye-rolling zone, I had difficulty getting out of it. Either you can roll with it or you can't, and at the time I just wasn't in the mood I think. This is heavy fantasy, and I'm more of a sci-fi gal (unless we're talking magic). It's also got quite a bit of spirituality in it. I d ...more

To say I was shocked by this book is an understatement. I followed Pam Godwin on twitter because I saw she was a fellow writer. And it just so happened her book was coming out. How could I not read it?
I was unprepared for how good it was.
At her worst moments in the book, Godwin writes with the detail and energy of Richard Laymon. In her best moments she is something more than that: original, vibrant and completely engrossing. This is not another Buffy Summers clone. Eve is a fresh and, like ever ...more

Dead of Eve grabbed a hold of me from the opening paragraph and didn’t let go. I was given an advance copy to read and read the first chapter before setting out to manage life’s issues that I couldn’t put off. I thought of this book until able to read further.

This lengthy story is not easy to read and it has some very disturbing elements. Germ-warfare is never pretty but add in a crazy-ass scientific muslim extremist, scary bug-like zombie mutations, rape, child death, extreme violence, gore and you get a post-apocalyptic hell with only one remaining woman.
Evie is extremely strong and I don't really know how she keeps going. Her guardians are pretty amazing but I wanted more of a connection from Jesse.

I love this series! Evie is a fantastic protagonist, and the post-apocalyptic world she lives in is fascinating. The plot is intricate, and the action intense and compelling. The description puts the reader fully in the scene without overwhelming with incidental details. Everything matters. I'm on to the next book!
Wow... didn't expect to love this so much!
I really enjoyed this book. It is a bit... weird, and at first some aspects seem cheesy, but it ends up being so good.
It's apocalyptic. With essentially humans that have turned into beetles instead of zombies. Evie is the only woman left, but is she really JUST a woman? Heck no. She's way more, and she's strong, and tough, and just amazing.

Oh. My. God... This was one nail biting read. Holy crap! I'm so frazzled I don't even know if I can do a review right now... OK, I can't. Awesome read, just freakin' awesome!
I wasn't sure I would like this book because my friend who recommended it said it was horror but said I would like it. Once I started reading the book I couldn't stop. I finished it in 4 days while still working full time. We're talking a full length novel, 400+ pages. The ebook price is a steal. This book defies genre; paranormal romance, sci-fi, horror. The story has lust, love, horror, action, guns, cannibalistic humanoid mutants and a smart, friendly dog. (That should clinch your decision to

What an action packed roller coaster of a ride! Not my normal read but I needed something different and that's exactly what I got. If Dark Angel had sex with the Walking Dead series you'd end up with Dead of Eve. This book was crazy good with it's sexual tension and nail biting suspense. Bring on the Blood of Eve!!!

Two firsts for me with this book.
1) I finally have my first book boyfriend, Jesse Beckett. I know you’re wondering what has taken me so long? That’s more complicated.
“Pain flashed through his eyes. “Dammit, Evie.” Steam huffed against my mouth. “I’m fucking drowning in my desire to be near you, to touch you”—he dropped his brow on mine and inhaled—“to be inside you.” ~ Jesse Beckett”
That’s not to say that there aren’t other men in this book that will appeal… but Jesse Beckett is mine!

There are no words to describe just how much I loved this book. Dead of Eve was brought to my attention by a friend of mine who had read it. I admit at first I was reluctant because I was not sure how I felt about the whole aphid theme but it didn't take long before I was hooked.
This book is devastatingly horrific, yet so beautiful at the same time. It is so well written that you can see yourself fighting along side with Eve, you feel her heartbreak for those she has lost as if it were your own. ...more

Such a good story. I was glued to it for the duration. But every time the psychopath "Drone" started spouting his fanatic religious quotes I cringed. For obvious reasons. Being a muslim myself, I wanted to slap the shit out of him and also real-life assholes who use religion to kill innocent people and nit-pick religious texts to fit into their disgusting agendas. So, now that I've had my rant, I will probably read the next book in the trilogy. Or not. We'll see.
I really enjoyed this book and I thank the author so, very much for putting out an actual 'book' that satisfies the reader. It's the first in a trilogy and, very often, these 'first of's' are no more than just a taste to get you to buy the whole series- and I sometimes end up feeling tricked. Let me assure you, this was no a la carte menu item. This was a full and satisfying meal of a book.
