This Mortal Coil by Emily Suvada
3.0
3.5 stars.
First things first - if you're going to read this book. Be prepared to read this book. It's not one that you plan to read just before bed that you fall asleep too but then you be lost.
There is so much going on, there is constantly new terms and logic in relation to DNA, genomes, etc to get your head around. It's really interesting.
I liked the concept and the world building. I just wasn't a massive fan of the plot twist that drives the last 3/4 of the story. The characters were a bit bland - I did like Cat, she was brave and cool in her own way. There some good lines between Cat and Cole at the beginning that made me think there would be decent banter between the two but it turns out I was wrong. Cole is a dull character.
