This was a great follow up to Skinned, but it's also a very different book. Where Skinned was all about Lia adjusting to her new life in her mechanical body, and how the people in her life reacted to that, Crashed is more of a political thriller. Lia is living with Jude and the rest of the mechs, taking risks and "dreamers" to try and get back the intense feeling of living that is missing from mechanical life.

The anti mechs movement is growing in power, the mechs are having their rights taken away, and Jude's group are making plans to stop it. Lia has to decide how far she's willing to go and whether she's willing to risk killing "orgs" to protect themselves. It's a very intense, gripping story, and I really liked Lia's progression as a character - read in one night.
