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.

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 ...more

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!!

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.

Rating ~3.5
That ending...wtf though
Safe 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:
Lemon
Our 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 ...more

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

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.

I 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 ...more
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'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. ...more

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.

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. ...more

There’s not a single dull moment to be found in this book! Such a thrilling and fast-paced read that left me aching more!
Not sure how I feel yet about some developments as well as the amount of ‘slang’ being present and used a bit too much at times... but it’s forgive-able seeing how much I enjoyed reading this book from beginning till end.
I loved the characters, human and non-human as well (maybe the non-human characters even more so, lol), a lot, and also really liked meeting all the new one ...more

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 book
So many actions and robot fights and super powers mixed with funny banters typical Jay Kristoff

I absolutely loved the first book in this series , the second book suffered of that lack of surprising twist since everyone had a role already. There were some attempts at surprising twists but none as radical as the first book, that being said I did enjoyed this book as a sequel because while it wasn’t perfect it did not extinguish my desire to read the next one . Amazing series so far .
Aahhh, this was so good! Like a full Thanksgiving meal. Everything you love plus dessert.

Things I know about Jay Kristoff.
① - He isn’t afraid to take chances with his characters and stories.
❷ - He probably is sustained by the tears of his readers.
③ - He write friendships really well.
❹ - He really seems to enjoy worlds with a lot of devastation due to over pollution.
⑤ - Just because you think you know where the story is going don’t get too comfortable because things are about to change.

Kristoff treats us to the perspectives of Evie, Lemon, Zeke (Ezekiel), and Cricket. I think this worked really well, as we gained more knowledge about deviates, lifelikes, and the world. Hands down Cricket and Lemon are my favorite characters.
In this book we meet more; mostly deviates. Abraham, Grimm and Diesel are key players. I shed a few tears along the way. Kristoff tackles some big life questions and tests his characters. I love that he never takes the path of least resistance and damn it i ...more

4.5 stars. I liked this better than the first one! This was very much Lemon Fresh’s book and I am glad it was. She really gets put through the wringer both physically and emotionally in this one. I loved Cricket, Solomon and Preacher too. The last 25% was amazing!

This was a solid sequel to Lifel1k3. Jay Kristoff has such a fun way with words that it just makes reading his books so much fun. Yes, they are dark and yes, the most likely aren't always YA, but damn he's just fun.
I will be honest here, it did take a little bit for me to get into this one. Unlike many others, I was never a huge fan of Lemon Fresh, so having a book that was mostly in her POV wasn't something I gravitated to. And while she did grow on me in the end, I think this book was made who ...more
