Synopsis:
“In the near-future United States, where advanced technology can create eggs or sperm from any person’s cells, celebrities face the alarming potential of meeting biological children they never conceived. Famous singer Trace Thorne is tired of being targeted by the Vault, a black market site devoted to stealing DNA. Sick of paying ransom money for his own cell matter, he hires bio-security guard Ember Ryan to ensure his biological safety.
Ember will do anything she can to protect her clients. She knows all the Vault’s tricks—discarded tissues, used straws, lipstick tubes—and has prevented countless DNA thefts. Working for Thorne, her focus becomes split when she begins to fall for him, but she knows she hasn’t let anything slip—love or not, his DNA is safe. But then she and Thorne are confronted by a pregnant woman, Quinn, who claims that Thorne is the father of her baby, and all bets are off.”
Review:
This was such an enjoyable read for me!
It was so unique and unlike anything I’ve ever read before.
It’s part literary, part sci-fi, part thriller. I absolutely loved the genre-blend.
I was totally hooked and invested. I loved the intertwining stories and how they come together in the end.
I also liked how thought-provoking it was about autonomy and parenthood, not only in today’s world, but looking forward to the future and the ways that these things could be affected by technology.
I can’t believe this one isn’t more popular – highly recommend this hidden gem!
