Book Review for Eve Versus the Apocalypse by Erica Lucke Dean

 

Eve Versus the Apocalypse by Erica Lucke Dean

Published:  March 31, 2025 by Red Adept Publishing, LLC

Taken from Goodreads:  A saber is a girl’s best friend.

When everyone Eve cares about is killed in an alien invasion, she uses her skills with a blade to battle her way through the changing landscape. But with humanity on the brink of extinction, the aliens aren't the only monsters the college color guard faces.


After fleeing the war zone that was once Atlanta, Eve heads north to her family’s cabin in the woods. In the desolate mountain town, she encounters a group of survivors on the way to the fabled Safe Zone. Impressed with her fighting skills, the group's leader invites her to join their ranks.

But trust is a rare commodity in Eve’s new reality, and she must decide whether an alliance with the dangerously sexy Archer is worth the risk. His offer of protection is tempting, but if she agrees to join him, she’ll be putting more than her life on the line. She can either save what's left of humanity or lose her heart—and the whole damn world along with it.

My Thoughts: Holy Moly!    I could not put this book down.  I am not an apocalypse book person but this book has me wondering if maybe I am.   

Eve is kick a** and I love watching her yield her saber and take care of business.  When she connects with Archer and his group her strength only grows and she shows that she is not someone to be left out of the fight.    Archer respects her strengths but also wants to protect her as their lives are in put in danger over and over again.

The romance between Archer and Eve is fun and makes the story a little lighter than I expected.  The apocalyptic fighting was intense and kept me entertained from the first page until the very last page.  

Thank you to the author for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
