Trapped in the City of Sand and married to a man of her fathers choosing, Eve can't forget her love for Caleb-or her passion for the rebel cause.

I have been dying to get my hands on this book for quite some time now, and I was able to get it late in June. After BEA my "Need to read ASAP" pile threatened to topple over, so I had to put this on the back burner until I saw that the publication date was July 3, 2012. Thats when I kicked it into high gear and powered through this in a day.
Goodreads Synopses:
When you're being hunted, who can you trust?
For the first time since she escaped from her school many months ago, Eve can sleep soundly. She's living in Califia, a haven for women, protected from the terrifying fate that awaits orphaned girls in The New America.
But her safety came at a price: She was forced to abandon Caleb, the boy she loves, wounded and alone at the city gates. When Eve gets word that Caleb is in trouble, she sets out into the wild again to rescue him, only to be captured and brought to the City of Sand, the capital of The New America.
Trapped inside the City walls, Eve uncovers a shocking secret about her past--and is forced to confront the harsh reality of her future. When she discovers Caleb is alive, Eve attempts to flee her prison so they can be together--but the consequences could be deadly. She must make a desperate choice to save the ones she loves . . . or risk losing Caleb forever.
In this breathless sequel to "Eve," Anna Carey returns to her tale of romance, adventure, and sacrifice in a world that is both wonderfully strange and chillingly familiar.
So on Sunday I got to go into the city for a book signing that I have been super pumped about, well, since Tahereh Mafi posted about it on Twitter. So not only was it with Tahereh Mafi who wrote Shatter Me, (which I rave about too much) but there was also Lauren Oliver (Liesl & Po, Before I Fall, Delirium, Pandemonium) and Anna Carey who wrote Eve and last, but certainly not least, Under The Never Sky's own Veronica Rossi.
The name of this tour was Spring Into the Future (Get it, they're all dystopian books?) and it was really cool, it was the first book signing, reading that I've been to in a long time. (The last one was Summer Sanders with Champions are Raised, Not Born) I still enjoyed it never the less and I plan on going out to more of them now that I'm home. So check out the pictures from the visit to Books of Wonder in NYC. (Ps. Sorry the pictures are so strangely aligned, sometimes I just hate Blogger.)
Our Lovely Authors in the limelight
The wonderful Tahereh Mafi
Veronica Rossi
Lauren Oliver and Anna Carey
Some TOTALLY AWESOME SWAG from Tahereh Mafi.
(She posted pictures of this on Facebook, and I really wanted
this one and I was so pumped that I got it!)
I'm also convinced that the page on the top is from
Unravel Me but that could just be wishful thinking.
So for the really exciting part, I got two posters signed by the authors, one for myself and one for my sister's school! ONE OF THEM CAN BE YOURS! Check out below for details! I'VE DECIDED TO MAKE THIS INTERNATIONAL!
