These are VERY short pieces, the
kind of challenge I give myself to get
the creative juices flowing when the

EPILOGUE
As cruel words
spat at her, she slammed
the book shut. He was a vampire, sucking
her blood and
using it as ink. Everyone
would know it was her, this character,
this bitch. The
heavy hard- cover cracked
the head on the pillow beside her like an
eggshell. “The end” she sighed, turning
out the light.

A big selling point of this
book is that the large-scale, regulated
surrogacy concept is credible.
Maria
Quinn gives the concept some debate through the different
views of her
characters, and it's an interesting enough idea to sit
with you on the train.
As are the book's other main issues of gene manipulation and life
enhancement
through medical finessing. There's also a murder, a
suicide, a birth, some love interests and a couple of intriguing main
characters to keep you company as you try to figure out just who has
taken what and who is still hiding things.
