John Marrs doesn’t miss.
I love his books. The way he weaves the plot for his speculative thrillers is perfection.
Imagine you have the opportunity of a lifetime. You’ve always wanted to start a family but due to a number of reasons you’ve been unable to. Now you and 9 other couples have the opportunity to raise a virtual child from birth to 18 over a period of 9 months while the world watches. If you win the reality show you can keep your virtual baby or you keep the money and have the chance to start your own real family. What could possibly go wrong?
This would KILL as an audiobook with the numerous POV’s, commercials, advertisements, and television voiceovers that take place.
There’s something very very wrong with each couple which makes for the ultimate dark and twisty story. The hidden secrets, the lies, the nods to previous books, and the way it all ties together at the end? Obsessed.
