Heather Hildenbrand is one of those authors I have been meaning to read for YEARS! Dirty Blood has been sitting on my kindle, just waiting for the right opportunity, but for whatever reason, it was Imitation that caught my attention. Human cloning will always be a touchy subject, with strong moral issues, so of course I'm going to read it! There's conflict before the story has even begun! 
 Right off the bat, it felt familiar. In fact, it reminds me a lot of The Island, starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson, but in this case, I enjoyed Imitation more than the movie. Whereas the clones in The Island seemed to be more for medical purposes, Heather's clones are specially trained for more... political situations. In Ven's case, she is needed to protect her Authentic, by posing as Raven in the real world. 
 There are a few scenes with some action, but I feel like this book is mostly building to something bigger. I have a few theories, but there are no answers yet. I need to read Deviation! I'm not sure whether to hope it's only a duology, or maybe for a third book? 
 A copy of this book was provided through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
