“‘You are powerful. You are the dangerous kind.’” – Freedom
“People have always killed, have always been monsters,” Lilah said. “But no one can take away your soul.” – Lilah
Lilah, a young woman who just wants to live her life… But the secrets she hides may prove deadly…
Adam Clark, a young man offered an unbelievable opportunity to become more than he ever expected… To become a Warden of the Watch…
“Before Eden, his world was divided into men and monsters. People were heroes or villains, good or bad. They chose to follow the law, or they paid the price. By joining the Watch, he was aligning himself with the good guys. Or so he thought. Now he could see that there was some gray area. There were people who didn’t have any other options but to live on the fringes.” – Adam
Once Adam realizes that life isn’t just black and white, but rather it has shades of gray, can he change the path of the destiny he set in motion?
Oh my…. What a tale! Haunting and intense, it’s an emotional rollercoaster! A dystopian reality where the monsters are hiding in plain sight!
The second installment of this series does not disappoint. The story is told in two POVs which I absolutely loved!! We follow Lilah and Adam who are both trying to find Eden for two different reasons. Eeekk! In a post apocalyptic world, who can you trust? I absolutely love both of the characters and they are strong and loyal to a point. If you enjoy YA dystopian and post apocalyptic world with mutations then pick this book up. You won’t be disappointed.
I sometimes wonder what makes me know that a book deserves five stars. For Finding Eden, the answer was easy. From the first page of the book, KRS made me care about the characters.
“Lilah clutched her backpack tightly against her chest as she walked through the dark alleyway. It was way too late for any girl to be out alone, especially a girl like her.”
No one should ever have to feel afraid to walk home from work, particularly not because they’re female or have powers that others don’t understand. The story introduced mutants, some dangerous, others not, just like the rest of the human race. It also introduced Wardens, the peacekeepers who worked for President Kane, to hunt down and eradicate the mutants.
While some reviews have compared this book to x-men, it felt more like the Hidden Children series, and safer than many of the dystopian stories I’ve read in which the Resistance is just as evil as the powers they’re trying to take down. Instead, many in the Resistance simply want to be allowed to coexist peacefully with the rest of the world. The Resistance, by the way, wasn’t solely comprised of mutants, but included allies as well. Much of the backdrop to the story was an America that wasn’t hard to imagine, especially considering the events of the last several years.
Religion, politics, and all difference has been outlawed, and yet people pray in secret, and some even dare to dream of a different type of society, a place like Eden of old. It’s as beautiful as you might imagine, though not yet perfect. As Freedom stated, “A place like Eden is a beautiful idea, but we have to bring Eden here. We need to create a city where mutants don’t need to hide.” That is the hope in the best and the worst societies, that perhaps we might bring just a little more of Eden (or heaven) to our part of the world.
I received a free copy of this book from the author and have reviewed it because I could hardly put it down once I started reading it.
Finding Eden: A YA Dystopian / Post-Apocalyptic Adventure by K. R. S. McEntire is a wonderful story that I have read. I loved reading this story very much and can not wait to read what this author will write about next. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about Sci-Fi and fantasy.

Finding Eden is the second book in the series after Saving Eden, but it was fine as a stand alone. I did not even know there was another book until I finished this one. It’s a fantastic teen book with believable characters in a fictional time and environment. Although I can completely see a country becoming as polluted and with mutations as described, I am not sure how most of the human survivors appear to be unaffected by the pollution. I mean nothing fit for eating grows naturally. Maybe I am overthinking that side of things.
The story grabbed my attention from start to finish and I would read the previous book too.

Great story! I truly enjoyed the journey with Lilah and Adam. The world the author created has just about everything in it you hope to find in this genre and so much more! I read the first book and this was like an entirely new saga but equally as good.
Received as a review copy, this is an honest review. Set in a futuristic dystopian world, Lilah is gifted with abilities that could get her killed if she is discovered. Leaving her family behind, she heads into the unknown to find Eden; where individuals like her can live in peace. Two unknown young men could alter the course of everything if Adam and Nate fulfill their duties as Wardens… charged with hunting down these ‘gifted’ people. A wonderful quick and exciting adventure.
