Blog Tour: Imitation by Heather Hildenbrand

Everyone is exactly like me. There is no one like me.

Ven wrestles with these contradicting truths every day. A clone of wealthy eighteen-year-old Raven Rogen, Ven knows everything about the girl she was created to serve: the clothes she wears, the boys she loves, the friends she loves to hate. Yet she’s never met the Authentic Raven face-to-face. 

Imitations like Ven only get to leave the lab when they’re needed—to replace a dead Authentic, donate an organ, or complete a specific mission. And Raven has never needed Ven . . . until now.

When there is an attack on Raven’s life, Ven is thrust into the real world, posing as Raven to draw out the people who tried to harm her. But as Ven dives deeper into Raven’s world, she begins to question everything she was ever told. She exists for Raven, but is she prepared to sacrifice herself for a girl she’s never met?

~~ I received this book in exchange for an honest review~~

I have read Heather's work before and it has never let me down, this book is no different. I couldn't put this book down at all. I think I was eating and reading this book, I know I was not sleeping because I was reading this book, that is how drawn into it I was. 

In the early 1990's we saw the first sheep that was cloned, Dolly was the sheep's name. In this book, they have taken that achievement and gone a step further. They have cloned people. They just didn't clone them, they are exact replicas of their Authentic, down to their DNA. When they are "birthed" they are learning every mannerism that their Authentic does. Their personality, their attitudes, who they hang out with, what they wear, who they date etc... The imitations learn everything they do just in case they need to replace their authentic. 

Ven is an Imitation to a very wealthy, very snobby, very popular Raven Rogen. But, Ven is different than other Imitations, Ven thinks for her self and questions authority. She is under the watchful eye of Titus, her father, or rather Raven's father, and Ven is protected by Linc. She feels something when she is around Linc. But, there is an underlying danger that Ven is involved in, and not by choice. Can she escape her house and escape the watchful eye of Titus? Can they help the other Imitations that she use to live with? 

Heather never disappoints me at all. She writes books with such imagination that you can't help but to fall in love with her books. I know I am a fan for life, and you will be too, when you read this book. I can't wait for the second book to come out. I NEED to know what happens with Ven and Linc. I want to know if they can be safe.
