This book was provided to me by the Authors for review.
I was totally hooked from the first sentence! Loved, loved, loved this book and can't wait for the sequel. Well written, captivating and a really great storyline. A must read - definitely!
Slightly dissapointed when it ended though, purely because it ended and now I have to wait for more. I normally don't enjoy this genre, but could not put it down at all. I read until early hours of the morning, every morning and every spare minute I had, even cooked with it in my hand!
Willow and her friends are really interesting characters and keep you on your toes with their exploring and new-found abilities.
The trailer is great and this book could definitely be an amazing movie!
Definitely worth reading. Thanks Courtney and Rebecca for writing such captivating books, may you write many more!!

At first I was afraid I wouldn't like this story, the first two chapters didn't grab my attention and I thought awe man...but after that things picked up and the characters grabbed ahold of me and pulled me along for a fun-filled and emotional ride. All in all, I love Project ELE!
In Project ELE there is a virus killing the earth's population and the UN has pulled down the patches to increase the earth's temperature in hopes of killing the virus. Families are standing in line for days hoping and praying that they are healthy enough to be admitted inside the F.E.M.A. shelter to be protected from the deadly temperatures. Strange things begin happening to Willow and her friends and not everyone can be trusted.

This book was amazing. It was fast paced and the character development was phenomenal! I recommend everyone reads this book. I hope to have the opportunity to read the rest of the books in the series. The only negative that I can come up with is...IT ENDED!

This book was given to me by the writer. I give it a five star rating. It will leave you hungry for more and haunt you in your dream. I am so starving for the next book.
Project ELE
This is the most wonderful book I have read in awhile. Right from the first few pages I was hooked. It had me crying right off the bat.
Page after page I was hooked.
I looked at this book as a what if book like maybe this could really happen in 2090 or 3011. And it was a scary thought. This book is a must read for everyone. I strongly back this book. You will never want to put it down. You will cry, laugh and the ending will totally blow your mind and have you completely starving for the next book.
I will watch this writer to see where she goes next. And pray that the next book is quick to come. This book is for the YA reader and the older reader. Buy this book I promise you will not be let down. Thank you for allowing me to read and write a review on this book. Look forward to many more.

Twenty-six pages into this book I was already crying my heart out. Thanks to the authors’ remarkable writing, I got attached to Willow and her family in a span of only a few pages. You’re probably wondering why I cried while reading the second chapter of this book, right? Well, all I can tell you is that no parent should be expected to make such a choice as the one Willow’s parents had to make.
I’m still new to post-apocalyptic novels, but this book smacked my reader curiosity spot on. “Project ELE” fits perfectly into the end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it category, and the plot intrigued me from the start. Reading about our world in a time where the sun is burning the earth to a crisp through the holes in the ozone layer, isn’t too far from the truth, and it forces you to consider the horrific possibility of trying to survive in such a devastating climate. The authors took this scenario and put a few interesting twists on it, creating the F.E.M.A shelter in a dying world, but with a plethora of new possibilities within the safety of the shelter where Willow and her friends attempt to adjust to a new way of life as well as their newfound powers.
The shelter Willow and her friends had to move to in order to survive, really captured my imagination. Living inside a mountain for months on end, with only a few of the amenities found in today’s world, secret underground locations discovered by her and her posse, and their developing paranormal abilities, kept my interest throughout the book. A bunch of twists leading up to a shocking, cliffhanger ending, has me excited to read the next book in this series.
“Project ELE” is an intensely unique and enjoyable read. It captures the imagination and invites the reader to explore a post-apocalyptic setting with a multitude of secrets, discoveries and a good dose of betrayal. Think scientific experiments, mostly likeable but also some creepy characters, paranormal abilities, hidden passageways and caverns deep inside a mountain; and then throw into the mix a fat helping of action, suspense, and romance, and you’re onto a winner. A must-read for paranormal romance fans of all ages!

I was given a copy in exchange for my honest review.
This is the first installment to the ELE Series.
A virus hit, killing millions, and the government attempts to save what is left of the human race by setting up Project ELE into place. The remaining survivors are forced to leave their homes, some even their families, and stay in FEMA shelters.
Willow's world comes crashing down on her as soon as her families numbers are called. Forced adapt to her new way of living, she makes a few friends, starts school, and working. If life in the shelter isn't strange enough, her and her friends start have strange powers. Now they have to learn what is going on to them without anyone finding out. Who know what would happen if the wrong people found out what they could do.
Loved this book! It kept me interested from beginning to end with all the suspense. Very well written and the characters are amazing. The ending left me with and OMG feeling. I can't wait for the next installment. I am desperately wanting more, I can't wait to see what happens next. A must read!!!

Well I definitely did not get much sleep last night. Wondering why? It’s because I could not stop reading Project ELE! This book was absolutely amazing and definitely a must read for anyone that likes a good book.
Co-authors Rebecca Gober and Courtney Nuckles wasted no time at all getting my hooked. Within 20 minutes of reading, I was already reaching for the tissues.
Project ELE is an apocolyptic book that introduces us to 15 year-old Willow Mosby. There has been an outbreak of a virus that is killing off the human race and the only way to eliminate it is by heating up the earth to unbearable conditions. They have set up shelters for the healthy to stay during this process, so this will be Willow’s new home. She leads a rather boring existence at first, but soon she is able to make friends and even find love.
The new rules she has to abide by are pretty strict, but once she settles into a routine of work and school she is able to make some time for fun and adventures.
After being in the shelter for awhile, strange things begin to happen. Is this only happening to her? Why isn’t it happening to everyone? And just what exactly is up with her eye? How is she going to handle it if outsiders start to notice? Willow has a lot ahead of her, will she be able to survive it?
I would say out of 5 stars, I would give Project ELE atleast 10. I laughed, I cried, I got angry, I was basically on an emotional roller coaster for the duration of the book. Once I got to the last page, all I wanted was more. Rebecca and Courtney leave you with a cliffhanger for sure. I will definitely be following up with the sequel later this year to find out what happens.

This book is hard to stop thinking about once you start to read it. It reminds me of the Giver series by Louis Lowry. Basically its based on the same idea and the same theme. A perfect society where everything is planned out and it seems perfect. But then you learn the truth behind everything and see that everything is done for a purpose... good or bad. Its a must read. If you like The Giver, Matched, Hunge Games, or any other books with the future of our world well this is a book for you. Makes you think outside the box so to speak. This is pretty lenghty. LOVE IT!!!! :) :D

Review of Project ELE by Rebecca Gober and Courtney Nuckles Reviewed
for Books4Tomorrow Facebook Event, ending September 9 2012. Ebook copy
provided via Books4Tomorrow. 5 Stars + I so totally enjoyed this most
riveting and likable dystopian novel that I want to give it 16 or 18
stars. This is in the “champion class” of Dystopian sub-genre, and
here’s why: Like every “good” dystopian, there’s plausibility (yes,
Virginia, our reality could experience something exactly like this or
very similar); it’s near-futuristic (yes, Virginia, our grandchildren,
children, even our generation, could experience this); it’s peopled with
characters ranging the gamut of human attitude and experience. Like the
“best” dystopian, it doesn’t leave us depressed, gasping for breath to
overcome despair. No, “Project ELE” (despite the terribly horrific
meaning of its title) sings of hope, of faith-of trust and of love, of
survival and of the will to overcome, not just to exist but to live. It
even has an anti-bullying platform theme (yes, who would think in
advance that bullies would be worrisome when the world is about to end?
Well, most of us might not, but our very imaginative authors sure did!)
This novel plucked the strings of all my fears about global warming,
pandemic plague, and certain governmental agencies and policies-and I
loved it! I absolutely gloried in this novel! Can’t wait to push
everything aside and go read it again!

I really enjoyed this series.. good quick read. Can't wait for the next one
Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.This book was given to me by the author for review.
Whilst not normally a fan of dystopian style novels, having read the Night Marchers series by the same authors, I was excited to see what they had come up with this time, and I wan't disappointed.
Set in the future when disease and global warming have left no option but for the chosen "healthy" ones to enter shelters set up by Project ELE. The story floows a teenage Willow and her amazing journey through an existance we all hope would never happen but wonder how we would survive if it did.
With a small group of friends what starts as an adventure looking to releive the boredom that is setting in soon turns into a fight for their lives. What starts as a slight paranormal anomaly in Willow soon escalates and although she has the most variations she is certainly not alone. And those in charge want HER.
A fast paced, easy page turner which ends with you screaming for just a couple more pages! I for one can't wait for the next part of the series to be released. A great read for any YA fans.

I debated between 4 stars and 5. Since it certainly held my interest and I'm about to buy the next in the series, I decided to go with 5 stars.

I normally read paranormal books, but I was given the chance to read this in exchange for an honest review and since books are my drug (Hi my name is Shona and I AM a book addict)I jumped at the chance. I knew nothing of the plot, but I have heard the phrase ELE(Extinction Level Event)before so had a brief idea of what I might expect. From the first chapter I knew this was a book I could enjoy, by the end of the book I am on the verge of stalking the writers to find out where/when I can get the next instalment.
The book begins with Willow and her family (mother, father and younger brother) hoping they will be granted entry into the shelter that promises to save those not infected with the virus that threatens to wipe out the rest of the world. Before they can be accepted they must undergo some tests. Its at this point that Willow's family falls apart.
Inside the shelter, Willow soon finds herself a small group of friends in Connor, Claire and Alec, and in an effort to stave off the boredom they go exploring the mountain and its tunnels. Its these adventures that lead to Willow discovering all is not what it seems

The book started off really good, it kept me interested but the climax for the book took way to long to reach. Towards the middle of the book it started getting slow and boring. If you are looking for a decent book to read, read this.
