A review by anastasiarozova
Eve: The Awakening by Jenna Moreci

4.0

Well, I'm glad I've read this one. I love Jenna's youtube channel, I think she's very funny and sort of a smart-ass (in a good way). The book itself had a couple of laugh out loud moment, which I appreciated, and was interesting overall. And I think more people should read this book, cause I'm pretty sure a lot of you can enjoy it.

I loved all the characters we were introduced to. Eve and Jason, of course, I rooted for them. Percy and his mom, god, they were adorable. Sancho reminded me a lot of Leo from Heroes of Olympus series and I loved that crazy explosion lover for it.
The "bad" characters weren't deep enough in my opinion, like Heather, for example, was just a two-faced bitch for the sake of bitchiness, I don't know. I get it, nobody liked chimeras, but still.
SpoilerAlso I'd like to know why Percy (and his mom) and Sancho were so cool about her being one. Like, I get it, they're cool people and all, and their best friend turned out to be a chimera as well, but I got the feeling that I was owed some explanation, I don't know... Not that I didn't like it.

Aliens were cool as well! Interesting concept and anatomy, plus they were flipping creepy from time to time. And the battle scenes were epic, I liked that aspect a lot!

I can also say that I was very much satisfied with the way this book was written. And by that I mean that I got to love and root and care for the characters almost from the very beginning, which doesn't happen that often in stand-alones.
A little bit too much of italic (cursive) in the text, though. Like I get it, she wanted to highlight some phrases and maybe to stress some words, but it really was a little too much of cursive on one page.

Really glad I've finally read this book, since I've known about it for more than a year. I'll be waiting for the next book by Jenna and hoping it's gonna be just as good!
