Eve: The Awakening by Jenna Moreci
2.0
Good: The writing style is refreshing. The main character squad is likeable (possibly stereotypical), and Eve really knows how to kick ass. It just takes a looooongg time before it happens. The actions scenes were done very well and the plot points followed through. If she cut her book 50 pages, it would probably have been a much more enticing and enjoyable read.
By buying this book, you'll be supporting an awesome lady who gives great writing advice.
The cons:
It takes half of the book to get into, it's unnecessarily lengthy, the high school drama does not work in the college setting (very 'Mean Girls'-ish), and the hatred towards the main character is way too forced. The mean girl characters lacked redeemable traits, leaving many to be flat and one-dimensional. On another note, though I do understand the setting revolved around the young and the wealthy, it does take away from the main storyline.
Overall, I really wanted to like this book. But I didn't.
