by Aimster (link)

Genre science fiction, suspense/thriller, mystery
Pairings Isaac/Nikki, Taylor/Natalie, Zac/Kate
Length 11 chapters
Status Completed (part of the Kindred series)

Up to this point in the series, I had made a point of writing my reviews immediately after reading each fic. After book five, however, I found myself just wanting to keep reading. While it means writing my reviews was a little more tedious, it certainly serves to show how easy it is to get sucked into this action-packed series.

The title of this fic tells you pretty much exactly what to expect, but that doesn’t really put a damper on the tension. However, when Taylor and Isaac turn themselves in to the lab in hopes of retrieving Taylor’s kids, things never quite go as badly as I expected them to. The kids are, for the most part, well treated and Isaac only gets a small dose of what Taylor went through before.

Despite the title, though, the story doesn’t focus entirely on Taylor’s kids. Mark makes an interesting choice when visiting Colin’s apartment in Chicago that complicates his situation a bit more, and the final clone is discovered–or is he?

Once again, Aimster manages to add more and more layers to an already confusing and complex mystery, and I couldn’t stop reading.
