When Junes estranged father shows up on her doorstep warning her that people are after him,she cant help but be skeptical and then when he ask her to come with him. Well ...she is obviously reluctant. He has betrayed her trust Before with his alcoholism. She finds that there might be something to his paranoia when he disappears.

Things are already complicated as June and her father has a big secret.She is really a clone of a dead woman.Her fathers deceased wife and to the world her mother.

This book did have some good things but in the end it was underwhelming. I guess I wanted more sci-fi stuff. Well it has clones some would say that was plenty of sci-fi but eh.. I guess what I was expecting something more edge-y

It was not long into the book when I started to figure out where all of this was going and it felt rather predictable not something I havent seen Before in other works of fiction like "The Island" or [b:Never Let Me Go|6334|Never Let Me Go|Kazuo Ishiguro|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1353048590s/6334.jpg|1499998]

I need to Think more about this

First, let me state the fact that I absolutely LOVE superheroes. When I first jumped into this ARC–I downloaded and began reading it today–I was not expecting the different view points, the plot, the characters, the drama, the love, and the constant squealing emitting from my mouth. This book was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! I am so glad Joynell Schultz gave me the chance to review this book. If I hadn’t read this, I feel like I would have missed out on such a good book.

Jumping into this book, we immediately meet the superhero wives: Ariana, Emma, and Victoria. We also meet their husbands, and we get to read about their lives, problems, feelings, etc. This is where we are introduced to extra details, such as the cities they live in and the political and superhero problems they all face, as well.

Ariana and her husband are newlyweds and still getting used to the marriage life. Though the day they arrive at the hotel on their honeymoon, Ariana’s husband is called away to superhero duties. Can you imagine how awkward and uncomfortable she felt? I read this book, and I immediately felt for her. She is an only child, may I remind you. Therefore, she’s never had to share attention with anyone.

Then we go over to Emma and her husband. Now, this relationship is further in and a lot steadier. You can practically sense the love emitting from the both of them, and I cherish it. I am jealous of people who aren’t real, and it seriously pisses me off that I can’t have an awesome life like these girls. Though I do know the struggles they go through, and I’m glad that I don’t have to face those problems.

Lastly, we meet Victoria and her husband. Or should I say, ex-husband? We immediately dive into the drama of what she and her new boyfriend have to go through while her ex constantly shows up wherever she’s at. Almost instantly, I knew these two were meant to be together. You can’t just leave a superhero and expect to get over it, six years apart or not.

Now, if it came down to picking my favorite couple, I would definitely choose Emma and her husband. Those two are two peas in a pod, and they are “couple goals” all the way! Superhero or not, I hope to God I find someone like Emma’s man some day.

As for my rating, I give this book 5/5 stars. There was so much information, so much emotion, so many DETAILS! I devoured all of it up; thus, giving me the reason on why I read it all in one sitting, beginning from the middle of my biology class to now. I cannot wait to read and review more from Joynell Schultz in the future, and I hope you all are as excited about her books as I am.

It is the not-too-distant future. Human cloning has long been banned, but human clones do exist. June Taylor knows. She is a clone of her mother, a woman who passed away long ago. June's father, Samuel Taylor, was responsible in part for cloning her. However, as June began to look more and more like her dead mother, her father began drinking heavily, causing June to sever contact with him.

After not hearing from her father for three years, he suddenly shows up on June's doorstep one morning, apparently sober for the first time in years, frantically insisting that he and June must leave town and hide immediately. June brushes off her father's warning as paranoia, but she starts to worry when a dead body turns up in a cannery and when she cannot locate her dad. June must report her father's disappearance to the police but without letting them know that he was involved in the illegal cloning of humans some 30 years ago.

Early on, June begins to feel the police are not doing enough to investigate her father's disappearance. A mysterious man, Elliot Roe, has been watching her, and while at first June is wary of Elliot, she soon learns he is on her side. Elliot is AWOL from the military and trying to find his brother. He believes his brother's erratic behavior and June's father's disappearance are connected.

After Elliot risks his life for her, June begins to see the upside to keeping him around (not to mention she is starting to have romantic feelings towards him). It is not long before June and Elliot are dashing from motel to motel, trying to flee would-be captors.

We also learn that a killer known as the Orphan Killer has been killing people who were safe surrender orphans 20 to 30 years ago and subsequently adopted. June has a nagging suspicion these orphans were not just any safe surrenders but human clones as well, probably from the same project her father used to clone her. Why is the Orphan Killer after human clones? Will June be the next to die? Will she find her father safe?

I don't normally read speculative futuristic books, but I found this book an enjoyable read. The writing was well-paced, and I was fully engaged in the book. I have an M.S. in Cell & Molecular Biology and found the story line behind the science believable. I would really rate this book 4 1/2 stars if I could. There were some minor misspellings and grammatical errors that could easily be ignored, but the book would read better if they were fixed in order to keep the reading pace steady.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
