Summary From Goodreads:
Can Tessa pose as Madison . . . and stop a killer before it’s too late?
Tessa is a Variant, able to absorb the DNA of anyone she touches and mimic their appearance. Shunned by her family, she’s spent the last two years training with the Forces with Extraordinary Abilities, a secret branch of the FBI. When a serial killer rocks a small town in Oregon, Tessa is given a mission: she must impersonate Madison, a local teen, to find the killer before he strikes again.
Tessa hates everything about being an impostor—the stress, the danger, the deceit—but loves playing the role of a normal girl. As Madison, she finds friends, romance, and the kind of loving family she’d do anything to keep. Amid action, suspense, and a ticking clock, this super-human comes to a very human conclusion: even a girl who can look like anyone struggles the most with being herself.
I
didn't know what to expect from this book. I actually had signed up
with the tour for book two and hadn't read book one, so I went out
and bought it, not knowing what it was about, and when I cracked it
open to read, I couldn't put it down.
This
was a great mystery mixed with science fiction type powers. The
characters of this awesome story have something of super powers. From
super strength, mind reading, invisibility, powers of persuasion,
healers, and shape shifters. It is totally worth the read.
Tessa
is a shape shifter. She can change into anyone she wants to be,
providing that she has touched them first. She has never been on a
mission, only been training to hone in on her talent, her Variant.
That all changed one day when Major told her she would be on her very
first mission, to take over and step in for a dead girl, to locate
her killer.
This
was just a phenomenal story from start to finish. The characters were
enjoyable and the mystery had you guessing who did it all the way
through. Just when you thought you had it figured out, a curve ball
is thrown at you. I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy
science fiction, mystery and romance.
