* [[Mary Sue]] - Eve. Even if you don't agree that she is in execution, tell someone you know that you're reading a series about a female cop in the future who's pretty much the best police officer in the city, who constantly has bad guys work their entire plans around challenging themselves against her, and who is married to a drop-dead gorgeous guy who's the richest man in the universe. |

** [[Jerk Sue]] - Eve is rude, confrontational, antisocial, and has rage issues. She admits to delighting in upsetting people and making them hurt or angry, and using her position to do so... of course, [[Protagonist-Centered Morality|anyone who did the same thing to someone she cared about would be first on her Shit List]]. Threatening her friends and loved ones with bodily harm and humiliation is standard, and in-universe considered part of her charm. Any time she interacts with someone she knows well there's at least a fifty-fifty chance she's going to insult them deeply. And... well, honestly, this is longer than necessary already, you get the idea. With that said, ''New York To Dallas'' and stories after that have Eve beginning to realize that her [[Jerkass]] tendencies come from her biological mother, and that she may decide to tone them down a little, if only to act a little less like her mother. |

* [[Mary Suetopia]]: Parts of New York come off as this. But that's got nothing on the parts of Dallas, Texas that Eve goes to in ''New York To Dallas''. Those parts are so...perfect, sweet and squeaky-clean that Eve finds them a little creepy. It seems to serve the purpose of contrasting and highlighting just how vile, unnatural, monstrous, heinous, and disgusting Sylvia Prentiss and Isaac McQueen really are! |
