Review:
Nothing is quite what it seems in Terri Talley Venters’ debut novel Carbon Copy.
Lilly Allen has it all: beauty,
brains, a trust fund, a great career, and the love of her life. But what she
doesn’t know about her and her twin brother Luke will change everything. As she
delves into her reports on stolen newborns and human cloning, she discovers not
everything is at it seems, and she must discover the connection before her time
runs out.
Venters holds back no punches in her
debut novel Carbon Copy. The
seemingly perfect lifestyles the characters have is slowly peeled away to
reveal great horrors from their past. The author certainly knows the places her
characters are, but I would’ve liked a little more description to help ground
some of the scenes. For a mystery, I also would’ve liked to see a little more
secrets held back until the grand reveal. The dialogue is snappy, and the
shorter chapters allow for a fast-paced read. I love the controversial
background about cloning and thought it was a major highlight with this novel.
Overall, Carbon Copy by Terri Talley Venters is a refreshing, fast-paced
read and a great debut. This novel is definitely no carbon copy.
