Vitro by Jessica Khoury

Sophie has spent most of her life living with her father in the US, that is until she receives a mysterious e-mail from her scientist mother beckoning her to come to Skin Island, a place where she’s been working for years.

Vitro

On this remote island in the South Pacific, scientists including her mother privately funded by Corpus have taken test tube embryos and given them life. These Vitros have the knowledge and abilities that human would kill to have. The only one who will help her onto the island is her childhood friend and pilot, Jim Julien.

Once there, Sophie discovers she has a Vitro twin named Lux who is the climax of Corpus’ threatening research. Torn between finding her mother and protecting her twin, Sophie finds out what happens when science crosses the line in this nail-biting novel that will leave you up way past your bedtime.
