im a simple person - i see anything with jay kristoffs name and i read it. no questions asked. mainly because i always know what im going to get when i open one of his books. true to his storytelling genius, the pacing in this is on point, the method at revealing information/world building is clever, the characters have great depth to them, the plot line is never lacking, and dont even get me started on that ending. i really, really enjoyed this. i also appreciate that this sequel shifts directi...

Check out more reviews @ Perspective of a Writer...The BuzzI really enjoyed Lemon Fresh in LifeL1k3. She was a breath of fresh air and I really hurt for her and Ezekial at the end of the first book. So I was dying to check out the sequel where our side kick takes center stage... I think the title Dev1at3 totally suits Lemon's story and goes with the LifeL1k3 moniker quite well. I don't hate the cover design. I think in person it would probably be quite stunning in an understated sort of way. I

Deviate totally lived up to my expectations! Now to await Book #3. How fast can you write Jay Kristoff? 😁I absolutely love this post apocalyptic, robotic world! If you aren't reading this series - you should be! Kristoff does an amazing job of making you feel like you have been pulled in to his world. There is drama, humor, secrets, lies, manipulations, friendship, loyalty, love, deviate teens with some X-Men like superpowers, killers, fanatical cults set on purifying the race from deviates, dea...

DEV1AT3 is far more awesome than Book 1. I'm looking forward to Book 3.

I need this book more than food and water and air.

Amazing! Great characters, entertaining dialogue, terrific story and action, action, action. What more could anyone ask for!Poor Ezekiel - I cannot imagine what the future holds for him. Poor Fix - the less said about that the better. There were sad moments and fun moments and lot of people and non people dying not very nice deaths. The battles are hugely exciting and the author's imagination knows no bounds. Those hive ladies were just incredible.And the totally abrupt ending means we are left

I've come to the conclusion that (along with a couple of other authors) I should just set up a direct debit out of my account each month to go directly into Jay Kristoff's bank account. This would cut out the middle man and let's face it I'm going to end up buying whatever book is the new release eventually so might as well do it in installments. This is my long ass winded way of saying he is an autobuy and I can't wait for this because I loved Lifel1k3.

ughhhh the wait for the next book WILL be the death of me guys. DEV1AT3 was such an amazing book. I'm so mad that it took me forever to dive into it but let me tell you - it did not disappoint. I can't believe that I missed everyone so much since I re-read LIFEL1K3. It's weird but oddly comforting. So, when I dove into this book it kind of felt a bit nostalgic. I will admit that I was a bit disappointed that this mainly focused around Lemon.. but towards the end I think my opinion changed for th...

ARC provided by Knopf Books in exchange for an honest review.I had so much fun reading this one, y’all. I really loved LIFEL1KE, and this sequel did not disappoint. I will admit, however, that I didn’t love it as much as the first book. But that’s just because I had a few issues with the pacing and some of the predictable twists (which, honestly, is not a bad thing.)DEV1AT3 picks up right after the events in LIFEL1K3. The group is separated into four POVs: Lemon Fresh, Cricket, Eve, and Ezekiel....

3.5/5 stars ~ I wish I could have rated this higher, trust me I really wanted to but in my opinion it just didn't quite live up to the expectations set by Lifelike. This was one of my most anticipated books of 2019 but I have to say I found the pace to be a bit slow and the perspectives not as interesting as Eve's in the first book which I enjoyed a lot more. I struggled to binge this book because I was already in a slump and it didn't quite hook my attention. I was hoping for more solid plot tw...

“People fear the future. And that’s what you are.”You will not be surprised to hear that in Dev1at3 we… well, we deviate from the course set by the previous book. Firstly, the little band is split and splintered and our protagonists must fight for survival against a set of adverse factors. Your main POWs are Lemon caught between BioMass and her own people; Ezekiel forced into a partnership of convenience with an enemy; and Cricket subjugated by humans who see him as an “it.” There is also an occ...

Never--and I mean never...read a Jay Kristoff book and think you'll be okay with it ending and you not having the sequel with you. You'll always end up being these dogs:

A really fun ride with lots of new characters that I loved and emphasis on some oldies (Lemon and Cricket, yay!!) while putting some on the back burner (Eve and the Snowflakes, phew).Lots happened and of course there's a cliffhanger, but it was well done and I'm really looking forward to the next one.There are some typical Kristoff YA plot holes but as usual, suspend critical thinking, sit back and enjoy the ride without taking anything too seriously and you'll be 'right.

After being disappointed twice by Mr.Kristoff with both Darkdawn and Aurora Rising. I can't currently continue the series as I feel I won't be fair to it and because I forgot almost everything in book 1. Also his writing gets more on my nerve now more than it makes me happy!!(And yes, I am trying to clean my shelves and getting rid of some books!)

On sale now! Review first posted on Fantasy Literature:In a brutal, blasted country called the Yousay (USA, of course), hostile androids contend against regular humans and superpowered mutants against a backdrop of robot death matches, in a dystopian Mad Max type of world. DEV1AT3 is the sequel to Lifel1k3, which should be read first. Obligatory warning: This review ― not to mention a helpful four-page glossary that author Jay Kristoff provides at the very beginning of DEV1AT3 ― contains a few m...

*2020* I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT AN ARC OF THIS.but here we are. LETS GOOOOOthe ending of this is a damn thing gave me a heart attack. my poor babies. and fyi (view spoiler)[fuck you evie (hide spoiler)]["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

Blog, New Look! | Amazon | Instagram | Twitter When you're looking down the barrel at your own funeral,even doing something stupid sounds betterthan doing nothing at all. Jay Kristoff wastes no time in DEV1AT3: the reader hits the ground running and there's barely a break until the end of this trilogy's second installment.Picking up right where we left off in LIFEL1K3, the band of friends has split up and they all find themselves along different parts of the Yusay. Some are stranded on their o...

Rating ~3.5That ending...wtf thoughSafe to say this book was not what I was expecting. There was a complete shift in focus, where the first book was primarily all about Eve. This book was predominately all about Lemon. The Cast:LemonOur favorite sidekick got a promoted to newbie heroine status. In this installment, we learn that Lemon has known about her special abilities for quite sometime. She has chosen to keep her special ability hidden from everyone, even her best friend. But as always with...

As soon as I found out this was a book with Lemon Fresh, I was all over it. Then the first page was a glossary slash refresher of all of the characters and I couldn’t stop grinning. I loved Lemon so much. I was thrilled to get so much time in her head. She’s snarky and maybe a little prickly, but really the softest of marshmallows. There are a few new characters, but I’m going to leave that super vague. Same for what’s going on with the old characters. Plot wise, it starts with a bang and doesn’...

what a fun sequel!! i think i enjoyed this one more than the 1st book! i love there is mini Glossary on the front of the book so youll remember anything that happened on the 1st book! The Story centered more on on Sidekicks characters on book 1 which i enjoyed immensely! I love Cricket, Zeke and Lemon Fresh so it was so funnnn to be inside their heads in this bookSo many actions and robot fights and super powers mixed with funny banters typical Jay KristoffJust like LIFEL1K3 i found some of the
