Not sure if I'll read the third book now after this! My reasons for not liking this book are, Eve shows absolutely NO emotion! I mean, (view spoiler)[Caleb DIES (hide spoiler)] and Eve is just like, 'oh ok. I don't really mind.' When she's caught up being attacked or kidnapped etc. she's showing no emotion. Anna Carey explains all the other characters around her yelling, kicking or fighting but Eve sounds like she's just being calmly dragged away or just standing around watching the action. At the end of the book, when Eve's about to (view spoiler)[poison her father (hide spoiler)] she's all like, 'yeah, let's do this. I'm not scared at all, I show no emotion.' The reason I put this on the shelf 'tear-jerkers', is because of the (view spoiler)[ dog, Brenna, dying (hide spoiler)]. In the first book, when Eve finds out that the girls graduating aren't going to the Sand City at all, she doesn't become nervous or talk to someone. She just accepts it. Carey has an okay plot line, but her writing isn't really that great. She repeats some words a lot, e.g. 'tried', 'glanced', things like that.
