It was supposed to help her, not turn her into a monster.
Now, Lena's stuck with this cybernetic arm, and her friends are terrified of her.
And maybe they should be.
The arm’s artificial intelligence takes Lena’s thoughts to the extreme. It acts when she doesn’t tell it to, even when she’s asleep.

It has a cover! ♡
This was a family read. My two oldest kids and I read it. We enjoyed the mystery within the high tech world. I had no idea who the killer was until the end. An awesome read. I can't wait to read more from this author.

I requested a review copy of this after the blurb caught my attention. This is my honest review.
I don't normally read this type of book, being an avid fantasy fan, however the blurb was interesting so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm so glad that I did!
Girl of flesh and metal is extremely well written, the characters are well fleshed out and there's more than enough action to keep you turning the pages.

I requested this book when I saw the author post on facebook and I found the blurb kinda interesting. Thank you for Girl of Flesh and Metal ARC!
It was a good story but I think it should be longer. There are unresolved things between Lena and Jackson and the ending erghhhh!!! Btw I guessed who is the bad person in this story and damn I knew it!! Too good to be true lol

We are the destroyers of this world
Much thanks to the author for sending me an e-arc ❤
Girl of Flesh and Metal follows the story of Lena Hayes,a supporter of the anti-tech community who after a car accident has her arm replaced by a metal one. Soon, an event will turn Lena's life upside down and have her unable to sleep at night.
I'll try to keep this review as short as possible:

A wonderful mystery that has you guessing at every turn!
Consistently throughout the story, I had to keep trying to put clues together, to try to make sense of what is happening to Lena.
That was made me enjoy and love the story. It held me enough to keep me reading and wanting to know who the murderer really was.
The world building was done well too with the incorporation of technology.
However I feel the biggest disappointment was the fact that I felt like it should have been longer. That there s ...more

Shortly after starting this book I "thought" I knew exactly what would happen. I guessed how it would end, who the true antagonist was, and even assumed what the "surprise" twist would be. But I kept reading, and I'm so glad I did! There were lots of twists and turns, and I can truly say I didn't see what was coming. It was really tense leading up to the climax--really a tight, mysterious thriller. By the end, none of the things happened I was sure would, and the thing I thought for sure would n

LOVED IT!
This was my first book by Alicia Ellis and I can't wait to read more of her work. I seriously enjoyed this book from beginning to end. Lena is forced into a world she despises due to her antitechnology beliefs. She can't escape because her company owns they very company that makes all of the new technology. I really felt for Lena during the first encounter with her friends after the surgery. The book has you trying to figure out why certain things are happening and I have to say I was ...more

I received this book as an ARC. Without wanting to give anything away from the story, AI is a very intriguing subject with good and bad possibilities. This is a suspenseful YA storyline. I would be interested in reading Lena's next adventure.

So I'll preface this review with I usually don't read young adult books. This one was enjoyable. The pace was good, and I liked the characters. I liked that the ending wasn't immediately obvious (at least to me, my sisters are great and sussing these things out). I kept changing my opinion on the "who dunnit" through out the entire book. This book kept me on toes. I liked that.

Lena is a young woman whose parents are very into tech and run a tech company that specializes in robotics, and have also started working on making robotic limbs for people that will act and eventually look exactly like real body parts do. Lena is very against this and is anti-tech for the most part, but her entire world ends up changing when she gets into an accident that causes her to have a robotic arm.
She is understandably upset about this considering her views on robotics, but things get w ...more

After reading this book, I wanted to write and post this review to share my honest experiences toward the story.
Contemporary, scifi and mystery, all mashed up into one thrilling, heart-pounding, addicting read! I was hooked on the story right from the beginning and stayed immersed into the story until the end.

Fabulous read and very hard to put down. Reminiscent of the Lunar Chronicles. I stayed up way too late finishing this book. Cannot wait for the next one!
Very Black Mirror
Reminds me a bit of the 'I, Robot' movie with Will Smith. Also of course the Black Mirror tv show, which shows the potential downsides of technology. ...more

I decided to write books about ten minutes before graduating law school at Duke. I'm now an Atlanta attorney, but I moonlight as an author, electronics junkie, and secret superhero. With a degree in computer science from Princeton, another from UNC, and an MFA in writing popular fiction, I love all things high-tech and unreal. I write science fiction and fantasy for young adults.
