5.0

Wow, this book blew me away! 💕 I was completely hooked from the beginning. The world building was insanely smart, the science aspect very effortless and easy to follow. The twists and turns really had me at the edge of my seat. This is the kind of realistic speculative science fiction that I absolutely love. 

Set in a near-distant future, your DNA can be stolen and used to create biological children, even from the smallest genetic tissue. That becomes reality for musician Trace Thorne. He hires Ember to be his bio-security, collecting all Thorne’s DNA wherever he goes. Until a woman claiming to be carrying his child shows up out of nowhere, upturning their world and the future they were hoping to start together. 

Told from the POV of three women - Quinn, Ember, and Lily - with fantastic narration performances from Jennifer Jill Araya, Imani Jade Powers and Abigail Reno. Each showcasing their character’s distinct personalities, it made the listening experience highly bingeable because I couldn’t turn it off! Their stories were so intertwined and gripping, I just adored how it came together in the end. It wouldn’t be a five star read without me shedding a tear! So big 5⭐️
