DEV1AT3 (Deviate) (Lifel1k3, #2)

by Jay Kristoff

From bestselling author Jay Kristoff comes the second installment in the LIFEL1K3 trilogy--hailed by Marie Lu as "a breathless, action-packed exploration of what humanity really means."

In the wake of a climactic battle in the ruined city of Babel, two former best friends suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of the same quest. Eve is torn between the memories of the girl she was, and the synthetic she's discovered herself to be. Together with her lifelike "siblings," Eve sets out to find the real Ana Monrova, whose DNA is the key to building an army of lifelikes. Meanwhile, Eve's best friend, Lemon, is coming to terms with a power that she has long denied--and that others want to harness as a weapon. When she meets a strange boy named Grimm, he offers to lead her out of the horror-ridden landscape and to an enclave of other abnorms like herself. There, Lemon quickly finds a sense of belonging--and perhaps even love--among the other genetic deviates. But all is not what it seems, and with enemies and friends, heroes and villains wearing interchangeable faces, Lemon, too, will join the race to locate Ana Monrova before her former best friend can get to her.

Kristoff is a freakin' genius. Like... This book was AMAZING.

SO... Lemon Fresh was re-fresh-ing (see what i did there?) as the protagonist this time around. I want to be her biffles. js. Haha no but I love her so much. She is such a bad ass and just fun.

I fell in love with all of the characters this time just like the last. The pacing was incredible, never awkward or strained in any way... just on point.

THIS WAS SO GOOD. Moving onto book #3!
