Synopsis:

Welcome to Dominion City.

     After the great Plague descended, the world population was decimated...and their genetics damaged beyond repair.

     The Lasters wait hopelessly for their genes to self-destruct. The Splicers pay for expensive treatments that might prolong their life. The plague-resistant True Borns are as mysterious as they are feared…

     And then there's Lucy Fox and her identical twin sister, Margot. After endless tests, no one wants to reveal what they are.

      When Margot disappears, a desperate Lucy has no choice but to put her faith in the True Borns, led by the charismatic Nolan Storm and the beautiful but deadly Jared Price. As Lucy and the True Borns set out to rescue her sister, they stumble upon a vast conspiracy stretching from Dominion’s street preachers to shady Russian tycoons. But why target the Fox sisters?

As they say in Dominion, it’s in the blood. 

Book Beginning:

When we came into the world, silent and cowled, my sister and I were attached by our big toes. They waited a whole day to separate us, and for that one perfect day, Margot and I were one.

Thoughts:

Not sure what to think of this opening. It's an uncorrected proof, I think, because there are no paragraph breaks, it's interesting enough that I am very curious and want to know more.

56% on tablet:

"You don't understand."

"So explain it to me."

"I can't"

"Can't? Or won't?"

"Both," I blurt out.

   A beat of silence stretches between us as he considers me with a thoughtful, almost hungry look. "You don't trust me."

Thoughts:

This is WAY ahead of where I am. I am very curious about what is going on.
