Replica

Wow.

Just. Wow.

I was NOT expecting to be entranced, captivated, entertained, wowed (Just. Wowed.) or enthralled....but I was. I didn't know who to root for, or how the tangle could all be unwoven, but author Lexi Revellian managed it all and made it look effortless. Excellent job!

Imagine if you were suddenly on the run and had to not only hide from your enemies, but also from those you consider your friends because you can't explain why you are who they think you are, but yet....you aren't. You have all of the memories of a lifetime, but were "born" yesterday. The only one that can get out of the mess is...you...but the other you doesn't know that this new you exists. And, now the original "you" has disappeared and is also in mortal danger. You see what I meant by "tangled?" Never fear however. As I said, you are in excellent hands for this particular ride. Just make sure you keep your hands and feet inside the car. It's going to get bumpy!

 Amazon describes the book like this: 

Beth Chandler, bright, attractive but unassertive, is accidentally replicated in a flawed experiment at the government research institute where she works. A second Beth comes into being, complete with all her memories. To Sir Peter Ellis, MI5 chief, the replica is an embarrassment that must be hushed up and disposed of. Overhearing him, Beth Two goes on the run. With no official existence, homeless, penniless and pursued by Sir Peter's agents, she has to find the inner strength and aggression to survive on icy London streets.

Meanwhile the original Beth, unaware of what has happened, becomes romantically involved with Nick Cavanagh, the spec op she believes is there to protect her. In fact, he's hunting her double. Nick refuses to face his moral doubts about Beth Two - as far as he's concerned, it's not his problem. As events unfold, and the situation grows more complicated, he has to decide whose side he is on.
