Until a month ago, eighteen-year-old Ven had never set foot outside the windowless warehouse where she was created. An Imitation of Raven Rogen, Ven spent her days confined in the lab, studying videos of her Authentic, all so she could step into Raven’s life at a moment’s notice.
Now, Ven lives in Raven’s penthouse apartment, kisses Raven’s boyfriend, and obeys every order from Raven’s dad, Titus Rogen—the very man who created her. But Ven has a secret plan. She doesn’t want Raven’s life. She wants her own.

Haven’t actually finished Imitation and haven’t really had time to read, but I’m definitely excited to read this too. I just hope it will live up with the good reviews I’ve read from friends and fellow bloggers. I’ve requested this ARC from NetGalley and I’m so glad I was approved. Anyway, here’s a five star, three star and one star review respectively. Got them from book lovers on Goodreads.

This installment of the Clone Chronicles is filled with action and breath-holding moments that make you wanna scream! But if you’ve read Imitation then you should already expect your anxiety levels to rise anytime Titus Rogen is involved! Plan to spend a few consecutive hours on this one – you won’t be able to put it down!!

I felt like this book, its plot, and all its characters were completely different from the first book, Imitation. I still liked it well enough, but it wasn’t at all what I was expecting.
— Tammy from Goodreads

Let me just start off by saying that I LOVED the first book, Imitation. So much so that I recklessly bought the second one without reading any reviews or thinking about it beyond “oh hey look I think I need this.” The one thing I really have to say about this book? This was a bad decision and I wasted my $0.99. There’s a reason some books are less than a dollar on Amazon people.
— Rebekah from Goodreads

Pretty intense reviews don’t you think? I can say that there were a lot of good reviews from the people who were provided by an ARC so I’m still excited despite of the not so good ones. I’m so hoping I could finish this before the 30th though or it won’t be an ARC anymore. Lol! I really need my reading time! Happy reading to me. Book review to follow.. 😀

Book Beginnings on Fridays is hosted by Rose City Reader, where we share the first sentence (or so) of the books we are reading, along with initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires.

Here’s the book’s beginning:

“I have always been two people at once. Today is no different.
I am Raven Rogen and, especially when they’re not watching.
I’m also Ven. Sometimes, my identities separate into
two sets of habits, two sets of desires, two sets of miseries.”

Talking about being schizophrenic huh? That must have been so confusing. I wouldn’t want to be two people at the same time or I could go looney. Poor Raven. I wonder what happened for her to do that. For her to suffer something so crazy. Intriguing I may say.

What do you think of the book’s beginning? You could share book beginnings on your current read too. Comment the link of your own Book Beginnings on Fridays so I can check it out and have an idea of amazing books that I would want to read. Come on! Join us! 😀
