直到犯罪集團的追擊，
塔拉、哥哥威克與黛西因為一個不知名的晶片捲入危機
他們這個小小的家庭即將拆散，
黛西也從不會傷害他人的小狗，成為拿起武器的野獸……
結合《一級玩家》的末日危機與智慧型機器人、機器狗浪潮

這座城市有長相像是灰熊、霸王龍的大型護衛犬、家用機器人等受重視的新型科技，也有另一群孩子，沒有東西吃，也無人照顧，像威克和塔拉就是。
威克在母親過世之後，一直想拚命賺錢，不能讓妹妹再住在垃圾堆了。塔拉是連餐具擺放順序都不能變的孩子，一遇到與平常不同的狀況，就會恐慌尖叫。但是，她會修理各式各樣的電器，熬夜組裝機器人是她最開心的事。而經常跟在她身邊的「黛西」，就是她引以為傲的機器小狗。
「黛西」是用撿來的晶片和二手材料做成的，塔拉也不清楚她還有什麼功能——她唯一知道的，就是黛西只會對威克和塔拉忠心，而且她能自己修手機、創造其他機器人。
不會傷害別人的黛西，卻讓邪惡的護衛犬集團盯上了。他們想抓會設計製造的塔拉，以及黛西的神祕晶片來拓展自己的勢力；而威克和塔拉想尋求協助，但在這座冷漠的城市，他們也害怕被出賣。面對護衛犬集團的追擊、又得結合盟友之間的信任，究竟無情的人類與忠誠的機器狗之間，哪一邊才能獲勝，AI人工智慧到底能為誰帶來奇蹟呢？
家人與朋友的定義正在改變，科技與正義的抉擇不斷發生，一場需要智慧與情感的戰鬥即將展開！

noir
Format: Kindle
Always the last person you can think of is the murderer. The same with this book also. I love learning about new cultures and you can learn some things about Chinese culture from this book. So interesting

Pretty good
Format: Hardcover
In 1932, Lulu Wong made a name for herself by leaving Chinatown and becoming a Hollywood star. Most girls who look like her don't get lead roles, so Lulu is the pride of her neighborhood. So everyone is shocked when Lulu's body is found in a local stable far from her Beverly Hills home by her friends, sisters May and Gemma. The girls know that the police won't look too hard into the murder, so they decide to take matters into their own hands. As they investigate, the sisters discover a plot to frame Chinatown as a den of iniquity that should be demolished in favor of constructing a new train station. May and Gemma soon find themselves in a race against time to not only find justice for their friend but save their neighborhood, all while being targeted by a killer.
I've only read a few books by Lee, but they've all been winners. I love her style when it comes to YA historical fiction. She crafts compelling plotlines that include real issues of the time with characters you can't help but root for. I liked both our main characters. May was more logical and reserved, while Gemma was a spitfire, but they balanced each other perfectly. I liked how we got both of their POVs, but I did enjoy Gemma's slightly more because I loved her gumption. I thought the mystery was well-paced and kept me intrigued. I had no clue how it would play out, and I liked how Lee wrapped it all up. It did drag a bit in the middle, but overall, I thought it was entertaining.

not as good but nearly there
Format: Kindle
I had hoped that Kill Her Twice would grab my attention in the first few pages and not let go till the very end (like her other books I have read), but this one had a very. Slow. Start.
The mystery of the death of a young Chinese starlet in California in the early 1900’s is the catalyst that starts everything: new characters are continuously introduced, their motivations becoming clear and murky and clear again several times before the last quarter of the book. But. The last quarter (finally) had me hooked.

YA historical murder mystery
Format: Hardcover
3.5 stars
What I Liked:
-Character voices seems to be once of Lee's writing strengths. From the start of the book, Gemma and May's voices sparkle on the pages. Gemma herself seemed to be a little stronger of a character, but I think that's because she had a more spunky, active personality.
-The positive sister relationship made me happy. So often, I feel like siblings don't appear in fiction, or if they do they just fight with each other. I liked how all of the Chow sisters worked together, and the positive family relationships in general.
What I Struggled With:
-Something about the mystery fell flat and I was left wanting more. I can't pin my finger on exactly why I felt that way, but it might have had to do with how Gemma and May solved the murder. They honestly don't really see it coming or put together many clues until the end. When the murderer revealed everything, I could see the crumbs that had been foreshadowed--but I think that they needed something /more/ to make them work.
- I'm glad that Gemma and Freddie didn't end up together. I'm not entirely sure of what the age difference was, but since he'd already graduated med school and seemed to have been a doctor for a while, I'm guessing it was fairly large. Because of the age gap, I was a little uncomfortable with the relationship that seemed to grow between them. I don't think it would have bothered me if just Gemma had a crush, but Freddie seemed to like her as well. But as I already said, they don't end up together.
Overall:
I enjoyed Kill Her Twice. But I was a little disappointed in mystery side of it. Yes, Gemma and May are solving a murder, but the mystery seemed to fall a little flat. However, Lee's abilities in writing characters shine.
Cautions: three instances of swearing; one blasphemy; light romance; one kiss; brief, moderate violence; non-descriptive mentions of poisoning; two minor characters are discovered to be gay, referenced briefly; an unmarried character is discovered to have been pregnant, which is referenced multiple times ; several Bible verses are taken out of context and twisted
(I received an eARC through NetGalley. All thoughts are my own.)
