This is the first novella in a trilogy about molly southbourne. Every time Molly bleeds, her blood spawns a clone who then attempts to kill Molly. This is gritty, gory, and violent, and it takes place as Molly is growing up and heading off to school. I accidently read this one second. 

It is a hard book for me to give a rating on. I am glad I read it. It was well-written. I didn't find it deeply meaningful, and it asked more questions than it answered. BUT in the trilogy. It makes sense.
