Lifel1k3 by Jay Kristoff

5.0

Not enough stars in the universe to rate this book. Seriously. I kept hearing it was fantastic, but I had no idea it would be one of the best books I've ever read, let alone become one of my favourite books ever. Honestly, I don't even know where to start with the praise. Author Jay Kristoff's writing is as masterful as always, the story is incredibly complex and surprising, the setting is AWESOME (if you liked MAD MAX: FURY ROAD, you need to read this book now), and the characters are completely memorable. Eve is a hero worth cheering for, a strong girl who isn't afraid to throw down for the people she loves. Lemon is absolutely hilarious and has one of the best twists in the story. Ezekiel is as complex as he is sexy. The action is visceral and heart-pounding and basically never stops. But now let's get to the real I might have picked up on one of the twists, and while Lemon's twist (see what I did there? :P) was shocking, nothing about this story prepared me for the ending. And I'm talking all the way to the very last, very devastating final pages. I literally do not know how I'm going to cope now. I've heard a sequel is on the way and that had better be true because I need more closure. I need more of this world, more of these characters, just plain MORE. It was an incredible ending, but I'm not ready to say goodbye to this new world yet. I'm not sure I ever will be...
