If you like an intense, heist vibe in your stories, this is a great pick. Helena runs a (slightly illegal) business creating forgeries of meat products — so alike that it’ll fool even the people who have it on the edge of their fork. There’s some really cool tech talk here, taking the current trend of 3D printing to new heights! 

While it’s a fun read for these heist elements, a heist doesn’t come without danger and this story will keep you on the edge of your seat as Helena attempts to get herself out of trouble with some dangerous people.
