I have read a handful of books by Julia Blake and loved all of them. This one not only intrigued me; but managed to capture me within the first eight pages of the prologue! Eve has been gone a year and now she finds she must return. This brings to mind two questions. Why did she leave in the first place and what has happened to make her return? There comes a time when you’ve got to face your demons and go home. So this is the story of Eve’s journey home starting at the beginning before Annaliese. The journey back is painful and filled with uncertainty, anger, despair, hope, love and secrets. Blake will take you to the brink...the rest is up to you.
As I’ve mentioned, I have read five of Blake’s books and every single one is a five star rating. She is a diverse author who has successfully crossed genres (contemporary fiction, romance, sagas, poetry/short stories, sci-fi, fantasy, myths and legends); but also the age spectrum from adults and YA to even middle grade and tweens as Erinsmore is certainly appropriate for my granddaughters ages 9 and 13 and, of course, grandmothers.
The Book of Eve sounded biblical to me so I wasn’t surprised that the cover had a “bible” look. What I wasn’t expecting were little nugget surprises like the chapters titled as books from the Bible. Another little penchant of Blake is that she likes to include cameo appearances of characters from her other books. I was reading along, and there’s Ruth from Chaining Daisy! Note: The Book of Eve was originally written prior to Chaining Daisy and takes place 10 years or so earlier. Oh! Robert and Annaliese also happen to pop in Becoming Lili!
Blake’s books are the whole package. Every detail, the cover, the pages, characters come to life on the page, the story waxes and wanes and twists and turns. Just when you think you figured it all out; you don’t. She keeps you on the edge until the very last page is turned and the last sentence is read. Well done! (This is where you are supposed to applaud!) 🙌🏻😃
