Eve in Overdrive is a psychological thriller novella. It’s a quick read (took me thirty minutes) and it’s best to read it in one sitting.
Journalist Eve Alexopoulos doesn’t cover
the hard-hitting news as such. However, her column “What’s Your Problem, Bro?”
certainly ruffles more than a few feathers as she targets and outs online
trolls. The problem is that sometimes the trolls fight back.
When Eve is offered a huge cash advance on
a book based on her column, she decides to splurge on a Sunray. The exclusive
solar-powered, self-driving, tech-filled car of her dreams. But someone has to
be behind the tech, right? And what if that person just happens to be someone
Eve exposed...
The author has done an awesome job of
setting Eve up and allowing the reader to either back her 100% or say to her to
back off. And then placing Eve in a deadly situation. Without giving away any
spoilers, you are taken through the physical pain, the psychological terror, and
the inevitable “what if” moment.
The author’s writing style is smooth and
quick to read, but the lack of commas before direct address became a bit annoying.
Overall, though, it’s a ride of the stuff of nightmares with the reliance on
tech and the loss of control. This is the second book of hers I’ve read and I
thoroughly enjoyed the thought-provoking moments behind both.
