Ich weiß ehrlich gesagt nicht, wie ich dieses Buch bewerten soll, da ich es aufgrund relativ kurzer Ausleihdauer (ohne Verlängerung) nicht lesen konnte.

DJ Baldwin has a fun tale of Dr. Mia Peers, who owns her own lab, inherited from her parents. She has developed one anti-sleep drug that is waiting for approval. She also is an Olympic medal sharpshooter, partially to make up for the athletically gifted twin sister in a coma from an auto accident. She is working on an enhancement drug that has resulted in one super rat, and a thousand dead ones. With funding running out, she tries it on herself and finds she is Unbound (ebook from DJ Baldwin Books) able to heal very fast and superstrong. The bad guys are mostly one dimensional, but there is a secret about her and her twin. :ots of fun and I look forward to more adventures.

Mia and Unity are identical twins. After a car crash leaves Unity in a coma at 15, Mia spends the next 20 trying to become her sister and work out why her parents favourited Unity and side lined her when they were identical. That's the story. What I found it so hard to swallow that Mia, supposedly intelligent and a "neuro scientist" appears to have the mental age of 15 and the emotional development of a toddler. The whole story is her tantrum about being the less favoured twin. Fiction doesn't have to be believable, I don't believe the stories in fantasy novels are real life, but it does have to work and the fact that this doesn't is maybe because she is such an implausible, unbelievable character. So the story becomes ridiculous and I was half expecting it all to have been a dream on the last page. Even the ending and the twist fell flat in the face of what was already not working. Maybe Mia was just too pathetic and unlikable. A series? Missing in action hopefully.
