This was a great addition to M-Day. Even though this story deals with different characters, you still need to read the first book before diving into E-Day. Evo is actually a secondary character from the first book. Not only does she get her moment to shine in this one, but Zee and Max (MC's from M-Day) play a huge part in Evo's story. So in order to not feel left out, I highly suggest reading M-Day.
Evo is a kick-ass, hold no bars fighter. She's definitely the girl you want in your corner if you come across any infected men. Which is probably why every time there's a "mission", she's on it. However, her armor starts to crack when they save an un-infected man in a warehouse. A man who was obviously being brutally abused by the infected man. A man who just so happens to be Evo's estranged husband. Dun Dun Duuuuuun. However, Evo's built a new life since the world changed. She gained a new image, a new name, and a new history. So she's not too happy to run into her estranged husband who could ultimately reveal all the secrets she's kept hidden.
This was a great story. You'd think it'd just be able Evo keeping her secrets while kicking ass. And that is part of the story but the author went above and beyond that. She added depth to the characters. She didn't just give you their stories, she made you feel them. She also took the original story and evolved it into so much more than it originally was. One minute I'm all like, "okay this is a story about suped-up-soldiers-gone-wrong", and the next I'm like, "woah! What the hell just happened?". The author is definitely writing to her own tune on this one and I couldn't be happier. I was starting to get worn out on the same ol storyline but she added so many new elements to her story that I literally could not put the book down. I kid you not, I literally plopped my butt on the couch until I finished the book. This girl right here, ATE OVER HER BELOVED KINDLE! That's how unwilling I was to put the book down.
I highly recommend this series to anyone who's looking for a post-apocalyptic story that also happens to have some erotic parts to it.

*May Contain Spoilers*
I received this book to give an honest review. Can I give this book more than a 5 rating lol.
You ever just read a book straight through and there was no putting it down? This was me with E-Day! The way D.T. draws you into a world of disaster and has you wondering what the hell is going to happen next is amazing. I love how I can read any of her work and just fall in love with the story being told.
E-Day is book two in the world of the infected and uninfected men. The infected men are like super-soliders who have an appetite for sex. But it is not your run of the mill wham-bam thank you ma'am, oh hell to the naw. It is more you are mine and mine only I will bite you and then track you down! I know scary right? You do not have to read book one to understand what is going on but I would recommend that you do so you can get a feel of the characters. With E-Day this is mostly all about Evo, if you read my review of M-Day (book one) you would know that I wanted to read more about Evo she is this bad ass chick that is a straight bitch but she is a lovable and loyal those that she lets into her inner circle. Max one of Evo's sisters from another mother plays a big part in E-Day as well, but Max has changed and it all has to do with the virus that has affected the men.
I have theory that goes with the virus on how it affects men and women but I am gonna to keep that to myself!
Everyone has a past before M-Day came along most of the survivors try not to think of the past but what happens day to day. Unfortunately Evo's past comes to haunt her. She ends up finding her ex-husband and of course battling the I-Men that intend on keeping him. This one was a bit more disturbing to read for me as I never once thought about I-Men being gay! So it totally threw me off my rocker, but it was awesome twist in the plot line.
D.T. has a way with giving each character their own personality along with a damn good story line that has you flipping the pages just to turn around and go damn didn't see that coming at all. The questions I had coming in my head were the same questions Evo started thinking and I do wonder if there are more "humans" out there and if not where are the bodies?
With Evo getting reunited with her ex which now wants to be named X, there is a supernatural change that occurs and I want to know more about the virus and how far will it change people. The action is just intense and I love it along with the lovey dovey that happens!

Do I really need to say anything at this point?? ;)

I really enjoyed these characters.
Darn you official synopsis! I really want to talk more about this book but this is one of those stories where it's tough to do so without spoiling elements that drive the plot. Since I'm not a fan of spoilers I'll try to give you guys a good idea of what to expect.
As it happens this is the second book in a series but when I was offered a copy to review I was told it could stand alone and I feel like it does a really good job of that. The only thing I feel is kind of missing is that some explanations in regards to the world building don't quite answer all of the questions you're likely to have in this type of post-apocalyptic set-up. That said, I felt it was enough to get me interested and keep me reading. It's not a zombie story but if you dig those types of things you should definitely check this one out.
In terms of the romance, I was really not expecting it to work for me. Evo/Tammie is about as pleasant as a Brillo pad used as a loofah. Since the story is told from her perspective she can be a bit tough to like at first. With good reasons thankfully and as she reveals what's made her who she is the layers unravel until you discover she's actually just a woman who has been through some dark stuff and come out stronger for it. Her hero, X, is hard not to like. But he's not been a perfect guy and the situation Evo finds him in leads to the one thing I feel is kind of important to spoil. If you have rape or abuse triggers let me give fair warning, you might find a couple of parts of the story uncomfortable to read. That said, I felt that Dyllin didn't use these devices carelessly and that they amplified the survival story side of this on an emotional level. Evo and X have a lot to overcome both physically and emotionally to reach their HEA ending and I liked them very, very much as a pairing. Even though I didn't love the book I might even go so far as to call them one of my favorite couples for their realism and enjoyable chemistry.
While the plot is pretty basic—hunt bad guys and save good guy—and that left me kind of meh on the overall action the strong characterization really made up for it. I will definitely be grabbing the first book and the next book. I'd recommend this to fans of post-apocalyptic romances and my fellow beta hero lovers.

E-Day is the second installment in the post-apocalyptic series by D.T. Dyllin. In this series where a strange virus that only affects men causes that woman and some uninfected men must survive at all cost, love finds a way to make its entrance.
This time Evo is the main character. This bad-ass chick that loves guns and don’t believe in love has to face her biggest fear… Her past. Once she and her friends find a mystery man beaten and tied, her world collapses. The new Evo has to face her past self and acknowledge that past makes who we are.
I have to say that I love the intensity in this book. There is adrenaline running through the pages. Evo has a strong and overwhelming personality which makes the book exiting, fast and really funny.
Of course mystery man ends up being what Evo needs and what she has tried to forget. The tension and situations between them are great. I think despite being fiction his arrival seems natural and makes the story even better.
The temperature rises in all the right places. The scenes are amazing and as always Dara’s writing style make it easy to read and get in the mood for more.
I love how the author goes into unknown territory. She creates a believable world where there are tons of unanswered question given that there are no scientist or authorities to explain the virus and its mutations. It’s great to explore this new world side by side with the characters. You get to live every new surprise and turn with them.
It’s not only a romance in a devastated world. There is action, explosions, death and a lot of breathtaking moments.
Overall, this sequel is everything I expected and more. I can’t wait to read what’s next for these strong and amazing women and the men in their lives.

This review is based on a BETA read.
I loved Evo when we first saw her in M-Day, she was the kind of person I thought I could be friends with. Sure she was a little rough around the edges but this chick would give it to you straight. The Evo we get in E-day is very much the same person but oh so much more.
I worried that adding a love interest to Evo's story would soften her to the point of no return, but I am pleased to say if anything it only made Evo dig her heels in and raise her bitch level.. Evo in E-day kicks ass.
This is still the same world that Dyllin gave us in M-Day but she has made a few changes. Like the I-Men who are more than the others, who are able to think and plot. Which means the things we thought we knew about I-Men don't hold true any longer.
Once again Dyllin delivers with a story that draws the reader in from the first few pages, with Evo's honest evaluation of herself it's almost impossible to not keep reading, I myself read this in one sitting because I could not tear myself away. This book has it all.. action, terror, love, laughter and heartache. A book not to be missed.

We first meet Evo in M-day, and straight away you can see she is feisty, strong woman, but you always know underneath there must be another side to her. E-day follows Evo, and finding out about her past and her 'softer side'. Evo is one of my favorite characters and I love seeing this side of her, as well as the normal strong girl we know from M-Day and the evolution of the virus.
I cannot wait to see what book 3 has in store :)
