Warcross

Warcross by Marie Lu

Text from the back cover:

Warcross isn't just a game, it's a way of life.  Its fan base spans the globe, some eager to escape from reality and others hoping to make a profit.  Teenage hacker Emika Chen works as a bounty hunter, tracking down players who bet on the game illegally.  To make some quick cash, Emika takes a risk and hacks into the opening game of the international Warcross Championships, only to accidentally glitch herself into the action and become an overnight sensation.  Convinced she's going to be arrested, Emika is shocked when instead she gets a call from the game's creator with an irresistible offer.  He needs a spy to uncover a security problem...and he wants Emika for the job.
