Eve (The Eve Trilogy - Book 1) by Anna Carey

      "After a deadly virus wiped out most of Earth's population, the world is a terrifying place. Eighteen-year-old Eve has never been beyond the heavily guarded perimeter of her school, where she and two hundred other orphaned girls have been promised a bright future in The New America. But the night before graduation, Eve learns the shocking truth about her school's real purpose - and the horrifying fate that awaits her.
      Fleeing the only home she's ever known, Eve sets off on a long, treacherous journey, searching for a place she can survive. Along the way she encounters Caleb, a rough, rebellious boy living in the wild. Caleb slowly wins her trust... and her heart. But when soldiers begin hunting them, Eve must choose between true love and her life."




      The first book in the Eve trilogy, I felt that this novel kept all of the dystopian elements true to real life in a dictator-led, post-apocolyptic world. That being the setting, however, this book contains some mature themes. While writing about them with decency and keeping the scenes subjectively clean, it still contains the topics of females used for breeding, sex trafficking, and varying degrees of violence. While there are a few instances of coarse language from the antagonists, the overall language and descriptions are kept very clean for these topics. The romance is also kept clean. There are some very mature issues discussed, however, that I would not suggest for some of the younger readers out there. But for those older readers, it is very thought-provoking and makes one consider the evils that people can be forced upon in a fallen world.
