Archetype by M. D. Waters
4.0
This was a complete judge-by-the-cover pick at work this afternoon and holy smokes I do not regret it for one second. My mind is completely blown by how fantastic Archetype was, especially for a debut novel!
Emma's tale had me guessing from start to finish and while some of my theories were correct others, not so much, which I find is the perfect blend for a good novel. It is written in first person POV and I know a lot of people have issues with that in books but seriously- it was so perfect for Archetype because it backs up the authenticity of Emma's cluelessness to herself- we find out more and more about her when she does herself.
The plot line itself was mostly psychological rather than action orientated. Usually I am always craving more action in novels but it was so not necessary for this. It was an amazing blend of genres- science fiction, mystery, and a bit of romance- which all together made for the most compelling read.
Honestly, I don't think I can even properly put into words how much I loved this book. It will definitely be a 'Rachael' staff-pick and I am craving the sequel like mad!
