The Eve Illusion by Tom and Giovanna Fletcher

 

Eve has escaped the tower and is experiencing the world as it really is in this dystopian future. Now she needs to stay free or be dragged back to the Tower where she has been kept since she was a child.

Michael is one of her guards from the Tower and he desperately wants to be the one to find Eve. He has previously met her in person and feels a strong connection to her emotionally.

Bram was one of Eve's companions (via a projection), known as Holly, while she was in the Tower. Bram helped Eve escape and wants to ensure that she remains in the real world, preferably with him if possible.

Miss Vivian Silva has been in charge of Eve and her environment the entire time Eve lived in the Tower, she controlled everything about Eve's life. Dr Isaac Wells is the genius scientist who created the Holly projectant and many of the other devices in the Tower that for a time housed Eve. Both Miss Silva and Dr Wells are driven to recover Eve back to the Tower, between them, they direct and manage the actions of the various guards and security forces that they have inhabiting the place, to try and ensure that this happens.

There is a lot in this book to take in, the authors do a brief recap of the end of the first book to remind you of what happened and to enlarge on the details and specifics.

The world setup is very well described, so I was able to visualise it as I was reading. The characters were conflicted and flawed, as any normal person would be. This added depth and reality to them.

"I just knew I had to pull her from that room, from that maniac Potential. He’d already murdered Mother Nina, believing her to be Eve. I had to get her to safety."

I received an e-ARC of this novel through NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. NetGalley does not allow for paid reviews.
