The Rebel Trap — Lance Erlick

Voices in sixteen-year-old Annabelle Scott's head aren't God or signs she's going mad-yet. Despite being a Mech Warrior recruit, she rebels against her female-dominated regime by not only refusing to kill Morgan, a handsome boy she's attracted to, but also helping him escape. Annabelle's commander gives her auditory implants and contact cameras for an undercover assignment to investigate her corrupt police captain. Morgan hacks the implants to plead for her help in freeing his brother. As a pawn in a bigger game, she wants to help Morgan yet needs to discover the link between an attempted assassination of her adoptive mom, her police captain, and the geek institute that holds Morgan's brother. Can she do so without falling into a trap that could destroy her family and get her killed?"
