Pleases again

Chase Rinaldi had run away from all his cloned friends. They all lived with Professor Fergus. But the one Chase had been cloned from was a killer that had been dubbed the Streamside Strangler long ago. Fearing his DNA would eventually make him snap and hurt one he cared for, he silently disappeared.Dominique Eszlinger worked for EXPOSED magazine. She did not know Chase was a clone, but she did know who his biological father was. She found out that a high school friend of Chase's was murdered and she believed Chase did it! Dominique planned to write a huge article, a type of "Like Father, Like Son". However, the other "cloned cousins" refused to let that happen. They would locate Chase first and prove his innocence. Then there would be no story for the reporter.As all this was going on, events took a few turns for the worse! Poachers were trying to kill Chase, Varina was learning about another special talent she had, and thugs were following a couple of friends!***** Another winner! Wow! I thought it was cool that each clone had a talent. Now one shows she has two! This opens a world of opportunities. Each clone could have one or multiple special abilities that occur as they grow. I found myself glued to this one!

"The killer" really is a killer."

L.J. Singleton does a great job in making the plot understandable, and exciting to the point where you wont be able to put this book down. You will find out who Chase is really attracted to(Varina or Sandee),and and if he is headed down the road of a serial killer. This book also features What really happened to Chase's parents,if Eric and Star Where truly meant for each other, and an ending with a bit of a "Jurasic Park" flavor.

DNA isn't everything, right?

Chase has left his friends behind to hopefully protect them from the person he thinks he's going to be, a serial killer, considering thats who he was cloned from. He escapes to the mountains to work at a ranch. Then a reporter visits Varina and her friends to try and prove that Chase is responsible for murder. Allison and Varina are trying desperately to prove Chase's innocense but time is running short. In the mountains, something else has gone terribly wrong and Chase has been attacked and is losing strength quickly. He is lost in the woods with no idea how to get out and if he doesn't find help soon he might not make it to see another day. This was a great book but I hope it's not the last because this series was awesome.

Another winner!

Are you controlled by your DNA?

That's the question Chase needs the answer to. Chase was cloned from a serial killer, and even though everyone keeps telling him that it doesn't matter, Chase isn't so sure. So, after accidently causing the death of a murderer, a guilt ridden Chase decides that he can't risk hurting anyone else. He goes to work in the forest where there are very few people. But back home, Chase's friends are trying to keep a trashy reporter from blaming the death of a girl on Chase. The reporter thinks Chase did it because Chase's DNA doner killed his victims in the same way the girl died, and since he's in jail, the reporter decides to try and pin it on Chase. It's up to Chase's friends to protect him and since Chase has managed to get into more trouble they have to rescue him, too. The Killer was a great book and I hope not the last one in the series. But if it is it's a great way to end a great series.
