Emika Chen barely made it out of the Warcross Championships alive. Now that she knows the truth behind Hideo's new NeuroLink algorithm, she can no longer trust the one person she's always looked up to, who she once thought was on her side.
Determined to put a stop to Hideo's grim plans, Emika and the Phoenix Riders band together, only to find a new threat lurking on the neon-lit streets of Tokyo. Someone's put a bounty on Emika's head, and her sole chance for survival lies with Zero and the Blackcoats, his ruthless crew. But Emika soon learns that Zero isn't all that he seems--and his protection comes at a price.
Caught in a web of betrayal, with the future of free will at risk, just how far will Emika go to take down the man she loves?
So on Monday, the cover of another series that I am SUPER excited about!😍😱 Wildcard by Marie Lu😱😍was revealed, YAYYYYYY!😂 (Doing the happy dance, woot-woot) I totally get the cover theme!!! Do you? If you read the first book, Warcross, you’d understand why it’s a dark theme. I’m not gonna go into details as I don’t know if you have read it yet. Unfortunately, many people didn’t like the cover, but it’s the story that counts! This series is so remarkable with such great diversity. Believe me, you don’t want to pass this series up, jump on this train ride.
But if you didn’t, OMG😮! You need to change that ASAP! You can check out all of our gushing posts about this marvelous book. You can check out the amazing Interview with Ms. Marie Lu! along with the Review of Warcross. We also had the pleasure of participating in #PlayWarcross where we create very own Badass WARCROSS team which was sponsored by the lovely people at Penguin Young Readers! As you can see, I have a long, passionate affair with Warcross by Marie Lu.

The covers for this series make sense, but I am not overly excited about them. HOWEVER, I am excited about this book, because I fell in love with Emika and her crew in Warcross, and that ending!!!

I know! Not a lot of people like it, unfortunately. But I love this story so much that I’m just so excited about continuing this amazing story.
I loved Warcross and can’t wait for the sequel!
YES!!🙈I can’t wait, especially with that ending.😱
There’s too many other books out there that I want to read more, so I still haven’t gotten around to reading Warcross. Also, I really like Warcross’ cover, but this one, hmm, I feel like it wouldn’t look pretty sitting next to it.

From booknerd to booknerd, I totally understand that!😆 But here are my two cents. This series is excellent and definitely worth reading. And completely understand on the cover, not a lot of people like it, unfortunately. Maybe check out from the library? Just don’t let a cover stop you from reading it.
LOVE your choice! I really liked Warcross (did NOT see that ending coming haha) and I can’t wait to see what happens next! 😀
