Eve 2.0: The Ultimate Gaming Experience (The Gamer Series, Book 1) by Winter Lawrence

4.0

Eve 2.0 is a young adult LitRPG novel about a gamer girl named Gwen who befriends another player named Pete. Pete's dad is a game developer, and Pete decides he and Gwen need to beta test his dad's newest game. Unfortunately for them, and her her neighbors Ryan and Ben (Ryan's her ex), the game isn't exactly what it seems, and soon they find themselves fighting for their lives, wondering if they'll ever see the real world again.
Eve 2.0 is a fascinating, fun, action-packed book that gamers (and even non-gamers) will enjoy. There's a variety of game that the characters get pulled into, and I think my favorite one was Desolation Peak. I do enjoy a good horror-survival game. The characters are likable enough, even with Gwen's back-and-forth internal fussing over Ryan and Pete. I think my favorite character was Ben, though.
The world-building is fun and unique, and it makes you feel as if you're actually in the games with the characters as they traverse through, trying to survive and complete their objectives.
If you're a gamer, or just a fan of YA sci-fi/fantasy, you'll want to give Eve 2.0 a whirl.
4 stars!
