Goodreads Summary: "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."

Wow. Once starts off soon after Eve. I found this book to be so much better than the first. For some reason, I just couldn't find myself able to get into the first one as much. When I started reading Once, immediately I thought differently.
I feel like maybe the reason that I liked Once more was because it had more action and more of a storyline in it. In Eve, it was mostly just her in the wilderness, and I didn't find it too entertaining. In Once, tons of unexpected twists pull you into the novel, making it much more exciting. Also, I thought the storyline was played out a lot better as well. There was more of a variety of characters, and tons of different settings to keep your interest.
If your a Caleb fan, I hate to break it to you, but he doesn't appear a lot in this one. He does, but definitely not as much as in Eve.
Also, what I really liked about these books is that I find Eve to be a very likable character. She's not one that get's on my nerves, or I find annoying to read about whatsoever, which is definitely a plus. I find it really hard to like a book with an unlikable character.
The writing style was fantastic, and I overall just found myself really drawn to this one (Okay, maybe because the cover was gorgeous too), and a lot better and more full of action as opposed to Eve. This one progresses the story a lot more, and a lot of unanswered questions from Eve are finally revealed. I would totally reccommend this one, especially if you've been skeptical. If you were not a huge fan of Eve, I say to give this one a shot, because it's so much better than the first.
I totally look forward to the last book in the Eve trilogy. So excited!
