I’m not really sure where to begin with this one but it was a rollercoaster of a book!

Detective Dove Milson is called to a scene that horrifyingly echoes those of the “Glass Doll” murders committed years prior by Peter Hayworth. A man now deceased and who killed her niece.

With a copy-cat killer in the wind and the memory of her niece haunting her, she sets out to find the killer while walking the fine line between her professional and personal life.

There were twist and turns at every corner, which kept me constantly on my toes!

Thank you to NetGalley and Joffe Books for the ARC!

Special Agent Shannon Ames is still in her probationary period with the FBI when she’s called in for the murder of a member of the media. The second in as many weeks.

I’m glad I stuck with this book because the ending was actually pretty good and it was a really nice perspective of Shannon Ames’ thought process while solving the crimes.

However, I did really struggle with the first half of the book and almost gave up with it. I couldn’t connect with the writing and found some of the things that were said a bit odd. Thus, the lower rating.

Despite that though, like I said the end was great and worth sticking it out for.
Also very thankful to NetGalley and Inkubator Books for this ARC.

Imagine a time when no more girls are born.
Imagine the fear that comes with knowing the human race is soon going to be extinct.
Now imagine the feeling when after 50 years, a girl is born.

Eve is that girl and she spends her whole life being raised to be the saviour of humankind. It’s her destiny, what she’s meant to do. Right?

Bram is her best friend. Except she knows him as Holly, the hologram that’s been with her nearly her entire life to keep her company.

Eve and Bram are a duo that you’re rooting for from the start. Practically cheering them on through each chapter. Truly wanting them to succeed.

Eve of Man is a really easygoing read. The chapter lengths aren’t too long and the POV switches between Eve and Bram giving you the story from two very different viewpoints.
The speed gradually picks up throughout the book and it’s a really nice pace.

I can only hope The Eve Illusion is just as good!

Firstly, I will say that if you haven’t read Eve of Man recently enough to remember it well, a re-read is worthwhile because The Eve Illusion picks up immediately where the first book left off! Without the re-read, I would have been completely lost because I read Eve of Man when it first came out.

I truly didn’t think there was any way this could be better than Eve of Man. Maybe on the same level but not better and in my opinion, this was SO much better.

The pace was a lot faster, there was a lot more action which it to be expected from the middle of the trilogy. It had me hooked right from the beginning and I devoured it all in the same day.

I absolutely cannot wait to see what the finale of this trilogy brings because it’s phenomenal.

I have so many questions and I don’t want to wait for the answers but I’m not even mad, it was so good.
