However, there is justification for this trope. An AuthorAvatar is perfectly common for a first book, as it's easier to WriteWhatYouKnow, and Eve's Business major is justifiable as she's been forced to pawn her possessions to survive for the last few years, since [[FantasticRacism no one will hire a Chimera.]]

A self-published book by YouTube indie author Creator/JennaMoreci, published in 2015.
Marketed as a New Adult novel, ''Eve: The Awakening'' is the first book of the "Eve" series. Set TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, where a new breed of humans called Chimeras have cropped up, possibly the next stage in human evolution. Chimeras look human, but possess superior strength, speed, intelligence, and have telekinetic powers. Naturally, [[FantasticRacism everyone hates them.]] Earth is also receiving visits from an alien race called the Interlopers, whose purpose has yet to be revealed.
Evelyn "Eve" Kingston is an orphan Chimera whose powers were awakened at a very young age. An outcast in her hometown, she uses her Chimera smarts to get herself in to a prestigious college, Billington University, where no one knows her true nature, hoping to start a new life. However, Billington is harboring some dark secrets, and Eve and her newfound friends soon realize they must step up and take action.
!!Tropes in this work:
* TheAce: Eve eventually learns that she is [[spoiler: the strongest chimera in the world.]]
* AdultsAreUseless: To be fair, there wounldn't be much of a story if this weren't the case. Even so, some readers find it a bit of a stretch that the army hasn't figured out some of these things about the Interlopers that a group of college students do (granted, Billington is a school for geniuses).
* AnAesop: Be yourself, do what's right, don't succumb to peer pressure, true love isn't about looks... really, there are a lot of good lessons for a young person to take away from this book.
* AsianAndNerdy: JJ, the group's Asian American hacker
* AuthorAvatar: Multiple reviews have noted that Eve is a tall, young woman with long brown hair ending in ringlets, whose dialogue sounds very much like the way the author words things in her YouTube videos, and who even shares her Business Major.

* BetaCouple: Sancho and JJ are hinted to become this in future books
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Both Madison Palmer and Heather, who act friendly to Eve at first only to reveal a nasty side later on
* CampGay: Percy Le Fleur, to the point that his own mother is aware of it.
--> '''Alicia Le Fleur:''' If seeing your sexy self in this dress doesn't give our Mr. Valentine a raging boner, I'd say he's about as gay as my darling Percy.
-->'''Percy:'''Mother! My God, the mouth on this woman!
-->'''Alicia Le Fleur:''' What? What did I say?
* CatchPhrase: "Balls" and "Dynamic" for Sancho and Aarman respectively
* DeadpanSnarker: Most of the heroes, but particularly Percy and JJ.
* DumbJock: Eve's male bully "Chin Dimple" is meant to be this.
* GirlPosse: Oddly enough, despite this being set at a college, Madison and her cronies behave like a middle-school clique.
* TheDitz: Madison Palmer, to the point that she doesn't notice when the man she's hitting on is a flaming homosexual.

** TheChick: Aarman, the passive group medic
* TheHero: A rare example of one that doesn't need a wise old mentor to tell her to take action.
* HiddenDepths: For a few characters. Percy, who at first seems like a typical CampGay, reveals himself to be a GunNut. Sancho, who seems small and meek, is actually pretty good and inventing large weapons. In the first half of the book, Eve herself tries to blend in as an unassuming human, only to have her status as a Chimera, and later [[spoiler: the strongest one in the world]] revealed.
* MeaningfulName: Our heroine, who belongs to what might be the next step in human evolution and becomes a strong leader, is named Eve Kingston. And her love interest, who helps 'heal' some of her personal issues, is named Jason Valentine. (The name Jason means "healer.")
