The Eve Illusion is the 2nd instalment in Tom & Giovanna Fletcher's Eve of Man trilogy.
The book was published by Michael Joseph, and published in hardback on the 16th of April 2020, and later published in paperback on the 21st of January 2021.

Eve is the last girl on earth.
For the last sixteen years, Eve has been a prisoner. Guarded by the mothers. Trapped by her fate. Watched by the world.
Until she took her chance, and escaped.
Eve finally has the freedom she has wanted for so long, and with Bram she has the love. But both come at a price. In this dangerous new world beyond the Tower, the regime is only ever one step behind. And together with the desperate rebel group fighting against the, Eve has found herself in more danger than she ever could have imagined.
With everything stacked against them, can Eve and Bram survive?


I was a little confused when I first started reading The Eve Illusion because my mind had gone blank from what had happened in the first book because it had been a while since I had read it, but it quickly came rushing back as I was reading the first chapter.
I really liked the journey this book took, we got to see more character development from Eve, especially when it came to making her own decisions, as she has been told what to do for most of her life. I didn't see any new character growth from Bram because, we already got to see a bit in the first book, he's already been able to slightly adjust to life on the outside.
It was nice to get another persons perspective, even though I was slightly confused as to who the hell Michael was when I started reading the first chapter, but it was nice to have someone that was still on the inside that could continue on their plans to get Eve back.
For me this book took many twists and turns that I was and wasn't expecting, I guessed who the snitch was but the main two parts that took me by surprise happen in the last few chapters of the book, even though I accidently spoilt the second one for myself when I accidently saw the last page of the final chapter.
Like the first book, I was hooked from the very first chapter and it didn't take me long to complete book 2, I found it so hard to stop when I came to the end of a chapter, which for me, shows how good a book is because it can completely pull me and make me fully absorbed within the story, wanting to know what will happen next and how they will get out of the predicaments they are in.
I can't wait to see how this series will conclude, I'm so excited for the third and final instalment, and I'm sure it will be just as captivating as the first 2.
