Eve by Iris Johansen 2.5/5
This book kept me turning the pages after page 200 or so BUT it was very unrealistic and the dialogue was forced and unbelievable. I'm coming into the series very late, but these were getting read heavily on my BBC Book Club group and I needed to read something. Ms. Johansen's fascination with the "projects" and how Eve crawled out were forced and reeks of someone who has never set foot in a real poor community. The teenagers spoke like they were in their mid thirties as opposed to being 16/18 year olds. I didn't connect with any of the main characters so I didn't care who died or lived. I think I should have started from the first Eve Duncan book to get into this series.
