The government is playing a dangerous game. Using human and animal genomes to force evolutionary changes, they expand their project into the real world, unleashing a pathogen containing an entirely new set of complications for the world. Seventeen year old Wren Shaffer is disenchanted with the world's decreasing values and the utterly fake nature of high society. Having reaped the consequences of speaking out once before, now she hides behind a pretty mask of lies, counting the days until her eighteenth birthday. Coming back from vacation with her disinterested and self-involved mother, Wren is one of the 1% severely affected by the pathogen. Now, alone and increasingly afraid of the odd new feelings and abilities she can't ignore, she bonds with two of the lab's original subjects, who are determined to save her not only from her first evolution, but from her life of fake smiles and pretty pictures as well. But the scientists are still watching and not all of the subjects are fit for society. It’s a race against time and a fight for survival and if Wren or one of her new soul-mates die, the other two won't be far behind. Content Some explicit language and graphic violence.
Dean Rencraft is a new author for me and, after reading this book, she is also a favorite. Evolution's Child is a paranormal romance, but it is so much more. It is an in-depth story of loss, love, compassion, and new beginnings. The characters were well-developed, and I felt a closeness and compassion for all of them. I highly recommend this book, and I look forward to reading more from this author.
Wow! “Evolution’s Child” is the first book I’ve read by this new author, but it won’t be the last! This author has a way of writing that grabs you from the start & hangs on until even after the ending! A fast-paced page-turner with a fresh new storyline and well-defined characters, this must read will keep readers engaged & turning pages like I did! Even tho this may be aimed towards YA or NA readers, it will definitely hold adult interests like it did for me! ... I highly recommend this to all fans of fiction & especially those who love PNR, fantasy and even Sci-Fi :D I look forward to more from Ms. Rencraft!
