Lifel1k3 by Jay Kristoff
5.0

Dead. I am dead.

This book absolutely killed me and if there is not a sequel ASAP, I may riot.

In a post-apocalyptic world, Eve lives with her grandfather and to pay for his meds, she takes up fighting robots at night. After a bit of trouble at a fight, Eve and her best friend Lemon are wanted by all the local gangs. On their way home, they find an lifelike android - Ezekiel. This is when the trouble TRULY begins. Lemon, Eve, Zeke will have to set out on a crazy journey in which secrets regarding Eve's past will come to light. Oh, and Eve has super powers.

The world in the book is AMAZING. I cannot say that enough. It's like mad max and borderlands had a love child and added more robots. Kristoff's creation of slang for the characters is so natural as well. He has a gift for giving characters and worlds unique ways of talking without making me feel like I need an appendix to understand what's happening.

READ THIS BOOK NOW.

Spoilers below.

OK, so I need to say some things, but spoilers ahead. So beware.

LEMON FRESH! I love her! I understand why she kept her secrets but watching her relationship with Eve was perfect. They were the Bestest.

ZEKE! I love you. Find your Ana in the next book. I need a book in which you search out and rescue Ana and live happily ever after. I am sobbing.

ANA/EVE! I did had hints that everything was not as it appeared regarding the revelation that Eve was actually Ana, but I did not see that last twist coming.

The next book is going to be amazing! Eve + Gabriel racing to find Ana before Zeke and Lemon (I hope). There hasn't been an announcement yet, but I NEED THIS BOOK NOW.
