Turns out? There is no sequel. That was just a rumour.


''Eve and Adam'' is a collaboration between CreatorCouple [[KAApplegate Katherine Applegate]] and MichaelGrant, co-authors of ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'', ''Literature/{{Everworld}}'', and ''Literature/{{Remnants}}''. The first novel, which takes the same name as the series, focuses on Evening Spiker, who gets in a car crash that threatens to kill her... except that [[OnlyAFleshWound she's mysteriously fine]] [[GoodThingYouCanHeal after a few days]]. Terra, her mother and [[MadScientist the owner of the hospital where Eve is staying]], wants to keep her in the hospital for longer, and so to keep Eve from being bored, her mother gives her a project: to genetically engineer the perfect boy, Adam. The book is told in a dual perspective between Eve and Solo Plissken, who worked for Eve's mom at the hospital ever since his parents were killed in a car crash. He knows that there's more to the project than keeping Eve busy, and with her help, he uncovers some horrifying secrets of the hospital...

The book is told from the perspective of Eve, whose chapters are written by Applegate, and Solo ([[LateArrivalSpoiler as well as Adam, who appears halfway through the novel]]), whose chapters are written by Grant. Only one novel in the series has been released so far, ''Eve and Adam'', but there are plans for a sequel. It is notable for having an ''unbelievable'' amount of references to sex.
