Description



About the Book



When a sixteen-year-old member of a race of shape-shifting killers called doppelgangers assumes the life of a troubled teen, he becomes unexpectedly embroiled in human life--and it is nothing like what he has seen on television.



From the Back Cover



Doppelgangers are monsters, hardwired for murder.

They are not supposed to have doubts, but this one does. He wishes he could be different. More human, maybe. But even that can't stop him from killing people so he can take their places and live their lives. He has to do it; it's who he is.

But when the doppelganger murders a small-town teenager, assumes his shape, and takes over his life, he's shocked by the world he steps into. Engulfed in a whirlwind of peer pressure, messy family dynamics, and a provocative relationship with a beautiful girl, he quickly learns that there's more than one way to be human, and many ways to be a monster.

Told in the tortured voice of a most extraordinary teen, this contemporary gothic romance brews a captivating combination of violence, desire, and atonement. Here is the story of a monster yearning for a human life.



Review Quotes

"Who hasn't wished he could wake up as the high school football hero, dating the prom queen? An interesting read that deals with growing pains, peer pressure and making decisions that might be unpopular." - Kirkus Reviews

"Combines romance, horror, and angst to create a distinctive story of redemption....An enjoyable read that should greatly appeal to fans of the supernatural." - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
