On the Run

Doppelganger #2

The doppelgangers are coming!

Citrus Leahy is on the run from doppelgangers! Now she and a group of teenagers whose lives have also been taken over have to figure out how to stay hidden. The doppelgangers could be anywhere or anyone. Her crush Aedan makes her feel safe except that he keeps reminding her of the guy she left behind...his doppelganger! Citrus also can't forget that the doppelgangers have her mother, but she has no idea how to save her when their group is barely saving themselves. It seems like the doppelgangers are always hot on their trail and there's danger around every corner, maybe even from within.

Not going to have anything much to say that I didn’t say in my review for the 1st book. Writing is still pretty much the same but the characters are a little more fleshed out which is a plus. On The Run ends on a cliffhanger but going by when this was published, I feel like we’re going to be waiting a very long time for the final book. I’m not exactly mad at it but it would be good to finish the series.

after Citrus found herself in a weird situation where some of her friends and herself had a doppelganger, she was captured and woke up in a cell with her friends all looking at her. they formed an escape plan that failed terribly until doppel-Aedan decided to help them. Citrus and her friends were on the run ever since. having found out that the Aedan that she was with all these while was a doppelganger instead of the real Aedan was such a shock, but did nothing to stop how Citrus felt towards him. his offering to help only further complicated the situation.

I received a free e-book from the author in exchange for a review. soon after the book started, their escaping journey started as well. it was such a hectic experience, I almost felt as tired as Citrus and her gang. every night they stopped for a goodnight rest, they received a call from doppel-Aedan telling them to run, that the doppelgangers found their location. soon, they suspected that the bump on their back was a tracking device for them to be tracked. it was only natural for things to get spiced up from there onwards. despite the tedious repetition, the book remained a fast read. it was impossible to not get absorbed completely into the storyline. the only downside of the book in comparison to its previous installment, was how little time were now spent on character developments. most of the time, I found myself doubting one character then another. while I was originally rooting for Citrus for her bravery and often taking initiative to be the lab rat when everyone else was hiding in fear; I was also annoyed with some small decisions of hers, such as rescuing whoever she felt pity towards. her levelheadedness was just odd at times, like her maturity could go up and down. fortunately the pace was extremely fast, giving me little chance to get further frustrated over more found reasons. the cliffhanger on the other hand, was truly a mind-blowing twists!

As you can probably tell these are two installments in a series so I don't want to talk too much about what happens, I'll tell you a little bit, but to be honest I found the interaction between the characters to be just as good as all the action. Citrus begins her day by running late to school and bumping into Melissa in the principal's office, as usual Melissa refers to her by the unwanted nickname of Orange, which I found cute and funny, but as you can imagine Citrus adds it to the list of annoying things happening to her today. When she finally makes it to class she sees that she is already in her seat and taking her test. Huh? As she is trying to wrap her mind around the fact that this could happen, and then the fact that it is happening she is joined in the hall by Aedan who also has a double in class. Together they flee the school, but end up returning for friends and others including Melissa much to Citrus's dismay. I found the dynamics between the characters to be authentic and I loved watching the dynamics change as they came to know trust and be skeptical of each other, not only do the dynamics for the group change, but the dynamics between other character such as between Citrus and her friend Olivia change as well. I liked the pace and the dramatic feel of the events. I felt like I was right there with the characters. I am very curious to see what happens to them next.

This book, is unbelievable. I found myself eager to read the next book. Milda Harris accurately portrays the teenage girl mind. Not only that, but she accurately portrays human nature through these teenagers and how the mind reacts to a situation where there is so much tension and pressure and you can't trust anyone and start to question even their closest friends. After getting ripped from everything they know and have to deal with the world being pulled out from them like a rug. They get so much adventure than they bargain for and they crave a normalcy that we constantly wish away. The book made me glad that something like that, hopefully, does not exist. But what really threw me for a loop, was the end of the book. The end of the first novel was nail biting, but the end of this book, wow, that really threw me for a loop and I can't wait for the next book to come out. I'm so excited for what's coming next and I'm definitely going to pre-order the next book when it becomes available.

*ARC FOR HONEST REVIEW*

This is a series and this is the 2nd book in the series. In this book I find it picking up more and being more interesting. With saying that, I enjoyed this book more than I did the first. It intrigues you to keep you wanting to know what's going to happen next. Why does it happen. Good little book here!
