Fear Me Not (The EVE Chronicles, #1) (2000) - Plot & Excerpts

~This book was solid, and the plot twist was fantastic.I didn't even know about this book until one of my favorite author rated it on Goodreads, imagined my surprised that Ms Sara Wolf published a Young Adult book about Aliens! Since I am both fan of boarding school novels and Ms Wolf's writing, I had a rather high expectation for this book. It didn't disappoint.This book was solid, and the plot twist was just fantastic. At first glance Fear Me Not may seem like another typical Young Adult boarding school story, just replace the Paranormal aspect with Sci-Fi. But trust me it was anything but typical. I cannot begin to tell you how much I like this book and how it was constructed. It has variety of elements from different genre, and it's full of surprises and conspiracies. Once I begin to read, I didn't want the book to end. I thought the concept of this book was quite unique, in Fear Me Not the food sources of the Aliens were human's emotions. So the Alien doctor/scientist created a foreign organ that can be plant in a human and proceed to gather a human's emotions. Each emotion has different flavor as well, I believe the book said Fear was the Alien's favorite. Though not everyone is genetic compatible with this foreign organ, for those who were they were called EVE. Many teenagers signed up to become an EVE, and then they were all sent off to this boarding school for both Aliens and Humans. In return every EVE will receive a good amount of money for their experience. When Victoria started her boarding school life with the Aliens, she did not expect to find herself befriend with the Aliens, let along fallen for one, nor she was to find out the hidden purpose for the creation of EVE.It was interesting to read how the Humans interact with the Aliens, and through Victoria we learned intimately about the Aliens masked their differences and abilities to appear similar to Humans. I definitely enjoy reading about Victoria and the red-eye Alien prince Shadus. This was not an instant-love situation, and no love-triangle either. Victoria and Shadus weren't even on a friendly term at the beginning, throughout the book their relationship contiue progress in a steady pace. There were plently of awkward moments between these two, some were pretty funny to read. Since this was a Young Adult genre, the intimacy level were pretty tame. I though the secondary characters have clear distinctions as were the main characters, they were just as entertaining to read and each has contribution to the plot. My only issue is this book ended with cliff-hanger (@#$%), and there is no update on when will the second book be release.I think Fear Me Not has everything I am looking for in a boarding school novel, and the Sci-Fi aspect was fresh and makes this book quite appealing. Overall I had a pleasant time to read this book. I highly recommend this book to Young Adult Sci-Fi/Urban Fantasy fans, and fans of boarding school elements with a sci-fi twist. Happy Reading! XO This book is insanely solid. Like I'm not even kidding. Even more so than "Alienated". See, the thing is, authors almost portray aliens as the equivalent to superhero robots. They speak in monotones, have super abilities of some sort, are slightly awkward in social situations, insanely cute, super smart and have a limited knowledge on a human thing called 'emotions'. But "Fear Me Not" was exactly that and more.You have Victoria, who from the start, was already such a likable human character. She had a witty tongue that actually made me laugh out loud and a backbone that bent for no one. She wasn't by any means the perfect girl who had the perfect body and perfect face and perfect feet. She had her issues of course - like any well-developed character - but nonetheless she was a major factor in making this book so amazing.Then there's Shadus who is just the perfect match for Victoria. He wasn't the stereotypical alien. He had attitude and a unique personality that made him such an interesting character. He was portrayed in such a way that he actually developed and changed as the story progressed. And God did he get more lovable and just adorable.Shadus and Victoria made such an amazing not-couple - since they never officially became a couple but it's leading there and I think that it's just so freaking cute and you can't help but root for them. I swear, the best part of a relationship is the beginning. When nothing's defined just yet, and they do all those small things for each other and it's just so sweet. Even all the other side characters had a life of their own that brought everything together. I actually saw the importance to them unlike other books where some side characters are just about useless. And the ending. Was. So. Heart. Stopping. It's not even fair that there's no mention of a second book yet. It's complete and absolute torture.
