Synopsis: With no way out, she’ll face a pissed-off artificial intelligence and two killers…

Lena’s ready to put it all behind her. She helped catch two killers who used CyberCorp to commit murder, and starting right now, she vows never to set foot inside the company’s headquarters again. But when those killers show up at CyberCorp Tower to confess everything they’ve hidden, Lena can’t resist seeing justice done.

As she steels herself to confront them again, decommissioned androids go berserk inside the headquarters, forcing a lockdown. Lena is trapped inside not only with the killers she brought down—but also with the dangerous technologies she fears.

Can Lena escape, or will she die inside CyberCorp Tower?

War of Flesh and Metal is the thrilling conclusion to the YA science fiction Flesh and Metal trilogy.

My rating: ★★★☆☆

I have been really looking forward to the finale of this series, so I was very excited when I got an ARC of the book! And overall, I liked it!

Synopsis: She must obey a stranger’s orders, or the androids will attack again...

Despite Lena’s fears about the dangers of the Model One androids, CyberCorp has shipped them to customers. They work perfectly—except around Lena. When an android attacks one of her best friends, she insists the robots are fatally flawed.

Desperate to keep this situation from spiraling out of control, like it did last time, Lena casts suspicion on everyone she knows. This time, she won’t trust anyone. When she gets a threatening note from someone claiming to be controlling the androids, she’ll obey—but only to stall for time.

Can she find whoever’s responsible, before someone else she loves dies?

My rating: ★★★★☆

Her parents might own one of the biggest tech companies in the world, but maybe Lena's right to distrust technology as much as she does. Especially when one of her best friends was attacked by one of the robots created by her parents' company. Even worse, these robots are set to ship out to everyone pretty soon. And on top of that, she's getting threatening notes. Girl can't catch a break. She's gonna have to figure out what's happening soon before more people are killed and we get a repeat of the events in book one.

Synopsis: A devastating accident. An artificially intelligent prosthetic that makes her sleepwalk... A series of murders.

Lena hates her parents’ tech company. The world worships each cutting-edge CyberCorp release, but Lena has her doubts. Machines that think for themselves? She doesn’t trust them... So when a car accident lands her with the company’s first cybernetic arm, she’s pissed.

A glitch in the arm’s artificial intelligence makes her sleepwalk. Meanwhile, children of CyberCorp employees start dying in their beds, and thanks to her unwanted nighttime strolls, Lena has no alibi.

Is she a target? A suspect? Lena literally can’t sleep at night until she proves her innocence—or her guilt.

My rating: ★★★★☆

I got this book as a freebie from Amazon and it's always nice when I find a gem among all the freebies I’ve acquired. As was the case with this book! I really enjoyed it!
