Carey, Anna Once, 368 p. HarperCollins, JULY 2012. $18. Mature Content: PG-13 (implied sex). For months Eve has been safe, hiding in a community of women across the bay from the old San Francisco. But when she hears rumors of Caleb hurt and dying, she risks going in search for him – and walks right into a trap. Now she has been taken to the City of Sand, before the King, who she finds out is her real father. He plans for her to take her place beside him as he works to rebuild the old America, being the pretty figurehead as his troops hunt down rebels – including Eve’s love, Caleb. Eve is stuck between a rock and a hard place as she tries to find her way in this new world – or how to find a way out.
Book 2 in this series brings forth a few answers but MANY questions and A LOT of anxiety as the story continues to unfold. Now I have to anxiously await book #3. I feel sorry for everyone who has to wait until JULY to read this gem. This is what Kiera Cass was trying to do with her book, but Anna Carey succeeded. MS, HS – ADVISABLE. Cindy, Library Teacher
