Continuing on with the dystopian craze, Beta tries to bring something new to the table with their cloned teens.
16 year old Elysia was created in a laboratory. A replicant of a human girl who once lived, Elysia is an experimental model designed to serve the people of Demesne. This island paradise has had everything bio engineered for it's perfection and only the wealthiest of humans can live there. Of course not everything is as perfect as it seems. Elysia notices that the humans still yearn for things and the clones are not happy. This is a very dangerous observation because she is supposed to be a soulless drone who should not be affected by such emotions. If her feelings are discovered, the consequences will be terrible and swift.
There are a few twists, a required romance, and a promised sequel. The writing is fine, the story is fairly engaging... we just didn't really see anything new here. If you've read all of the popular titles in the dystopian line and you still need more, give Beta a try.
Next up: Never Fall Down by Patricia McCormick- May 11
