"A gripping, unforgettable adventure-and a fresh look at what it means to love." -- Lauren Kate, New York Times bestselling author of FALLEN on EVE. "A thoughtful, heart-wrenching, and romantic book that I inhaled in one sitting." -- Cynthia Hand, New York Times bestselling author of Hallowed "Carey...keeps pages flipping throughout most of the story...[and] the sudden, menacing ending ought to propel readers to the next book in the series." -- Kirkus Reviews "Eve again narrates, savvier and stronger, with plentiful backstory and former characters appearing. [ONCE] remains an exciting page-turner for female readers." -- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) "Eve's first-person, intimately detailed narrative-which incorporates suspense, romance, and fantasy elements-make this dystopian fiction an absorbing, well-paced read." -- Booklist
