Lifel1k3 (novel)

Lifel1k3 is the first book in the Lifel1k3 series by author Jay Kristoff.

Synopsis
On a floating junkyard beneath a radiation sky, a deadly secret lies buried in the scrap.

Eve isn’t looking for secrets—she’s too busy looking over her shoulder. The robot gladiator she’s just spent six months building has been reduced to a smoking wreck, and the only thing keeping her Grandpa from the grave was the fistful of credits she just lost to the bookies. To top it off, she’s discovered she can destroy electronics with the power of her mind, and the puritanical Brotherhood are building a coffin her size. If she’s ever had a worse day, Eve can’t remember it.

But when Eve discovers the ruins of an android boy named Ezekiel in the scrap pile she calls home, her entire world comes crashing down. With her best friend Lemon Fresh and her robotic conscience, Cricket, in tow, she and Ezekiel will trek across deserts of irradiated glass, infiltrate towering megacities and scour the graveyard of humanity’s greatest folly to save the ones Eve loves, and learn the dark secrets of her past.

Even if those secrets were better off staying buried.

Praise for Lifel1k3
“Fierce friendships, brutal heartbreak and the question of what makes us who we are... make LIFEL1K3 your next favourite book. Trust me.” - Kiersten White, NYT bestselling author of And I Darken

“With its ruined desert landscapes and cast of super-powered artificial humans, cybernetic bounty hunters and chatty robots, the novel reads like a crazed mash-up of Blade Runner, Paradise Lost, X-Men, Mad Max and everything in between. The result is wildly entertaining, a highly coloured and propulsive journey through the ruined landscapes of a nightmarish future California.” - James Bradley, The Weekend Australian
