Firstly I would like to thank the author and netgallery for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review; the review is as follows.
This book was incredibly well written,with characters that are loveable and a storyline that drags readers in from the very first page. With the copy I was given being an ARC I did have a few problems with the formatting, not knowing where the start of the next chapter was being one of them. But I felt that in this case it added to the reading experience as it seemed to flow seamlessly.
The main character a clone called Ven has lived her whole life in a city for one's, where they are trained to know everything about the person who they are cloned from so that they can step in whenever needed. Ven gets called upon when her replica Raven's life becomes threatened although stepping into the life she has been trained to know Isn't as easy for her as she thought it would be. There are a whole bunch of things which she is unexpectedly forced to face and with the father of her replica being the creator of the clones she finds her life is threatened in more ways than most. The main character was very easy to love and support during her trials and I very much look forward to reading more from this series.
The most noteworthy secondary character for me was Link although there are a lot more in this book. Link is the security for Raven, so when Ven steps into her shoes he by default becomes the security for Ven. The two share a relationship and this forces the two to share secrets which should probably not be shared.
The storyline is original and unlike anything I have read before, with the likeable characters making it easy to get hooked on and the twists and turns making it deep and giving it body and structure. The pacing was also great and I loved that it ended on a cliffhanger making the readers want more from the series.
This series shows great potential, 3.5 stars
