The Eden Trilogy is among the best young adult series I've read thus far. If you're a fan of Julie Kagawa's Blood Of Eden series mixed with Terminator and Divergent, you'll absolutely love this series. Keary Taylor doesn't hold back and creates real characters in extraordinary circumstances, who are each trying to survive what is potentially the end of the world. The Bane who were once human, when scientists created a technology that fuses with human cells to wipe out terminal illness, disease and aided the dying, but they didn't cater for the technology evolving and creating machines, wiping out man's humanity. With a simple touch, they can infect you, until every last human has evolved. It's young adult science fiction at it's best, infused with a post apocalyptic world and a romance to make your knees buckle.
I couldn't put this one down. Too many series finales this year have been disappointing, but The Eve by far exceeded my expectations. It was engaging, thrilling and I'm not ashamed to admit that I read the last few chapters in tears. Absolutely incredible Ms Taylor.
