Identical twins Ashley and Aiden live a wonderful life with doting parents. Aiden suffers from something called Klinsmans disease which means he doesn't eat but gets all his nutrition through hospital supplements. But then Aiden is injured and his personality changes and Ash comes to discover something sinsiter about her parents and her brother. Set in the not too distant future, in a world of genetic engineering, cyborgs and AI, I don't want to give too much of the plot away. Suffice to say that Aiden isn't who he says he is.
Not one of Jonsberg's best but sufficiently well written to keep me engaged throughout the whole story even though I had worked out what Aiden was at the very beginning of the book. It will be interesting to see if younger readers catach on as quickly as I did. ( )
