Description
Her time is quickly running out. Luckily, Dr. Eric Johnson has figured out what the problem is. They have only tried to save people who have already died; people who have donated their bodies to science. But it’s the not knowing that’s killing them—he’s sure of it.
Beth is the answer. She knows about the procedure and is willing to undergo it while still alive. A new, cloned body, to replace her failing one.
But there are risks that Eric decides to keep to himself. Risks worse than death. And Beth won’t know until it’s too late.

The author approached human cloning in such a creepy and thrilling way. This was definitely a page turner. Some moments were so intense and other moments were really thought provoking. I love how the concept of human cloning was done in this book.
It had some great entertaining twists with hidden agendas and questionable motivations. You get characters with different opinions on whats ethical and whats worth the risk when cloning a live human subject for the first time.
When you clone someone are they transfering their memories or are they just copying them? When they're slowly dying already is it worth it if the procedure risks killing the original body? What if they never wake up? Even worst. What if the person that wakes up is someone else?
I would have enjoyed knowing what was going through Beth and her fathers mind during all of this, even if some of the points of views had to be unreliable to keep the mysterious atmosphere. Marcel seemed to be the polar opposite of Eric whos apathetic and has questionable morals. While Grace seemed to be a balance of both empathy and ambitous drive.
This story is deeply disturbing and all the more captivating for it. Having these characters question and cross so many moral and ethical boundaries creates this fascination as to how far they're willing go in the name of science.
With dark secrets added to the mix the author does a fantastic job of creating an intriguing and mysterious atmosphere. This story just compelles you to keep reading. It such a quick read with writing thats easy to understand.
