Title: Mila 2.0: Renegade
Author: Debra Driza
Genre: YA sci-fi
Book Blurb:
There is no one left for Mila to trust. Except for a boy she barely knows.
But Hunter has no idea who—and what—Mila really is. She can’t bear to reveal her secret, even though he’s unwittingly joined her search for Richard Grady, a man who may know more details of Mila’s complicated past.
Yet the road to the truth is more dangerous than ever. With General Holland and the Vita Obscura scouring the earth for her whereabouts, Mila must rely on her newfound android abilities to protect herself and Hunter from imminent harm. Still, embracing her identity as a machine leads her to question the state of her humanity—as well as Hunter’s real motives.
Review:
Can we please take a moment and appreciate this beautiful cover? *ooh...ahhh....special...very special*
The covers in this series (Mila 2.0 and Renegade) are simply stunning! Kudos to whoever designed the covers!
I had an awesome time reading the first book in this series, and I had an awesome time reading the second book as well. Renegade once again throws questions at readers to make them think. Like really think. What does it mean to be human? When does science begin to push the edges (in terms of ethical grounds)? What is love?
Mila is on the run with Hunter, and she's facing many self conflicts; Hunter still doesn't know she's an android, and even Mila herself is struggling to determine whether her feelings are "real" or computer generated.
My feelings for the Hunter-Mila relationship are still iffy. I definitely liked their relationship more than before, but I still can't get over the fact that they had the whole insta-love scenario going on for them in book one. Nevertheless, I love how Hunter is always so sweet and courteous. I was probably grinning like an idiot the whole time when reading about Hunter--I love how he treats everyone with respect!
Speaking of guys in Renegade, the novel ends with Lucas and Mila stranded in a desert...and I think Lucas may or may not be developing feelings for Mila. Ms. Driza, if you are reading this, please please don't set up a love triangle scenario between Lucas, Mila and Hunter in the next book! Maybe just keep Lucas and Mila's relationship at a "just friends" level, please? Pretty please?

Okay...moving onto the plot of the book. Wow....a lot of secrets are revealed in Renegade. Like...a lot. ***Spoiler Alert*** For example, Hunter finds out Mila is an android, Mila and Hunter find out Hunter's parents are part of V.O., that V.O. isn't as terrible has Holland depicted them to be, etc. At one point, Mila also suspected that Hunter was working for the V.O. because she found a tracker in his car. Personally I thought she jumped to conclusions too quickly because somebody else could've easily placed the tracker there. (Later we find out that Hunter is not part of V.O....but that didn't really come as a shock to me since I never really did believe him to be part of it.)
***Spoiler Free Zone***
Okay, let's talk about the ending, shall we? IT WAS FREAKING AMAZING! The last 50-100 pages was like...bam bam bam....non stop action. And...***Spoiler Alert*** Reading that chapter in which Mila is stripped of her emotions was amazing was heart wrenching and strangely addictive at the same time. Her complete 180 degree change is personality was a huge shock and I can't believed she actually killed Peyton!! *runs around screaming*
***Spoiler Free Zone***
So, in conclusion? I liked Renegade (and loved the last 25% of the novel) and look forward to further works by Debra Driza. Would recommend to any fans of YA scifi!
