What a unique reading experience, I had a lot of fun reading this, it almost had a good horror novel feel going on. I really felt for Gwen and wanted here to get out.

This book is pretty good. The concept of getting stuck in a video game that the government intends to use is interesting.

However, I have to give this book 4 stars because I didn’t love it. I often found myself questioning the author during certain moments like how a high school boy never played video games and didn’t understand any of the terminology at all. The book also featured the relationship status of Teddy too much in my opinion.

I received an ARC from netgalley, and I’m leaving this review voluntarily.

I chose this book to read because the description and plot were very different. Add this great book to your reading list! You will become hooked :)

Gwen's neighbour's son and her boyfriend are both found in a coma. Despite having the same symptoms and being in different parts of the state, the doctors cannot find out what is wrong with them.

Pete's Dad (Gwen's boyfriend) manufactures games. He has been testing his new top secret game and told Pete to leave alone.

When the only connection to the boys being in a coma, being the same gaming equipment. Could this new 'top secret' game be responsible?

In this book they are a few characters - Pete, Gwen (Teddy), Ryan, Ben, Victoria, Elizabeth, Pete's Dad, Ryan's Dad and Teddy's Dad.. They all come across as realistic and characters we can relate to.

However I cannot get my head around that the fact Ryan - an 18 year old boy. Has never played video games? I don't really know many guys who do not like some sort of game. Whether it be an RPG or Minecraft. His lack of technical knowledge I found odd too. Just because in this day and age - technology is the future.

The chapters are alternated between the parents and the kids. This is great as it is easy for us to follow.

Eve 2.0 The Ultimate Gaming Experience remind me of Jumanji. (which is a good thing)
The author has a great way of describing what is going on - it feels like I am actually there.

I can see why this YA book would be popular with young teens and adults. As it coincides with what most youngsters are interested in.

Therefore I highly recommend this book for a fantastic read.

Winter Lawrence unites science fiction and video games in this book, which promises to be first in a series. The adventure is enjoyable and the narrative is imaginative.
