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.

      Following Lifel1k3 (2018), the scattered heroes grapple with whom to trust. A quick yet thorough frontmatter recap primes readers to jump right into action where the first volume left off. Eve, gathering her newfound siblings while having a violent identity crisis after traumatic revelations, gets less screen time, allowing other cast members to shine. Her best friend, white Lemon Fresh, moves into a heroine role after escaping with logika Cricket and lifelike Ezekiel. But Cricket's new robot body runs out of power, prompting Ezekiel to leave on a quest for batteries. After he's gone, Lemon's situation becomes desperate due to radiation sickness, which leaves her vulnerable to a BioMaas hunter, as that corporation wants to use her deviate abilities against Daedalus. Her storyline sends her to a Brotherhood-controlled city seeking medical care--where she then openly antagonizes the Brotherhood to prevent the execution of fellow deviates (one Asian, one with dark skin), who bring her into company of her own kind. Meanwhile, by the time Ezekiel returns, even Cricket has been stolen--forced to be a battle bot and struggling against Robotics Laws--so Ezekiel must make an unlikely alliance to find Lemon while trying to work through his feelings for both Eve and Ana. The worldbuilding, from lingo to Brotherhood mythology, develops alongside action sequences as the story builds to an exciting cliffhanger. Solid and fresh, especially for the second installment in a trilogy. (Science fiction. 12-adult)
