From the coauthor of the New York Times best-selling Illuminae Files comes the first book in a new series that's part Romeo and Juliet, part Terminator, and all adrenaline.
On an island junkyard beneath a sky that glows with radiation, a deadly secret lies buried in the scrap. Seventeen-year-old Eve isn't looking for trouble - she's too busy looking over her shoulder. The robot gladiator she spent months building has been reduced to a smoking wreck, she's on the local gangster's wanted list, and the only thing keeping her grandpa alive is the money she just lost to the bookies. Worst of all, she's discovered she can somehow destroy machines with the power of her mind, and a bunch of puritanical fanatics are building a coffin her size because of it. If she's ever had a worse day, Eve can't remember it. The problem is, Eve has had a worse day - one that lingers in her nightmares and the cybernetic implant where her memories used to be. Her discovery of a handsome android named Ezekiel - called a "Lifelike" because they resemble humans - will bring her world crashing down and make her question whether her entire life is a lie.
With her best friend Lemon Fresh and her robotic sidekick Cricket in tow, Eve will trek across deserts of glass, battle unkillable bots, and infiltrate towering megacities to save the ones she loves...and learn the truth about the bloody secrets of her past.

Unfortunately it's mostly a study of relationships rather than an adventure novel. If you want a telenovela set in a post-atomic wasteland, I guess this is for you.

The narrator did a great job of giving each character their own tone and cadence, I think her performance lent a lot to the story. Overall I very much enjoyed Lifelik3 and I hope there's a sequel or two in the works!
Post-apocalyptic with a twist (or three)

Add to that, the treatment of the titular Al is explored in some human dimensions, but I dare say there are deeper implications which the author was unable or too lazy to fathom.
Sometimes, I could close my eyes and imagine manga, or Pokemon scenes, It's not a space opera, yet it's soapy. There's a flippancy toward human and robo emotions, in a story that could have allowed them to shine.
To the author: try again, you're onto something that just badly needs a rewrite.
A poorly written, flagrant, soapy fantasy.
