Waiting on Wednesday: Renegade + I'm back!

Renegade (Elysium-Chronicles, #1) by J.A. Souders is a dystopian/sci-fi about a girl living in an underworld utopia. Things are not at all what they seem and she has been manipulated and used, then a boy shows up to her rescue. I love me some heroes :D

What do you think of the cover?! I adore the cover art but the girl feels a bit misplaced. I wish they would have steered clear of the girl in a dress, by now it's a real cover cliche.

Synopsis borrowed from Goodreads:

Since the age of three, sixteen-year-old Evelyn Winters has been trained to be Daughter of the People in the underwater utopia known as Elysium. Selected from hundreds of children for her ideal genes all her life she’s thought that everything was perfect; her world. Her people. The Law.

But when Gavin Hunter, a Surface Dweller, accidentally stumbles into their secluded little world, she’s forced to come to a startling realization: everything she knows is a lie. Her memories have been altered. Her mind and body aren’t under her own control. And the person she knows as Mother is a monster.

Together with Gavin she plans her escape, only to learn that her own mind is a ticking time bomb... and Mother has one last secret that will destroy them all.
