YA
Rich-girl Lia (Skinned) has adapted to being dead. Now existing as an android-like "mech," she battles religious zealots while living with a group of like-minded machine/human hybrids. But there is a traitor among them--and it could be Lia. The story is fast paced, with engaging characters and plenty of teen angst focusing on appearance as a marker of identity.
