Synopsis
Becca Tanner wants everybody to think that she is a typical seventeen-year-old high school senior, but she's not. Her father is the inventor of a radical new medical procedure that has caught the attention of the entire world and is now secured under the watchful eye of the United States government. Through the use of ground-breaking bio-technology, he is able to transfer a person's entire psyche from one body and place it into another. But suitable donor bodies are rare, and there is heated public controversy over the morality of the procedure. Becca's old body was dying from cancer, so her father transplanted her into a new body, just six months ago. Becca mustn't tell anyone who her father is, or that she is a recipient, otherwise she risks becoming a target of those who want to steal her father's research, and those who oppose it.

Synopsis
Goodreads Review "This book had a dramatic beginning, OMG WHAT just happen, to high school drama, just the right amount not overly the top OC drama, a hot guy alert, to ugh, I can't stand Valerie, there's always that one girl with her little lemmings, suspenseful chase scenes, a what is wrong with that therapist, to a very mysterious Area 51ish town, and a few, oh I love this, chivalry ain't dead fights "Goodreads Review "I couldn't put it down, I loved the Fresh idea- I felt like it was a very original story line- and it kept me wondering what would happen next. This book had an interesting take on character development for the main character. Since she has a second chance at life, its almost like she starting over in some ways. At the beginning there are aspects of her personality that seem more childlike, like she's experimenting, to better understand who she is. This is intriguing. At first I thought she was going to be a Bella Swan type character- who never really progresses and is very flat through the entire series. But as the book progresses you begin to see little changes, where she is asserting her independence and deciding who she is. I can't wait to see where the authors take her in the next book. I feel confident she will continue to grow. As for the plot- it's a fresh take on an interesting story line. I really enjoyed the suspense, and although I don't usually love "teenage" romance. This one was fun, and I am excited to see what happens next "Goodreads Review "Great plot, fun PG romance, intense action, likable characters, and awesome descriptions. I am NOT a teenage girl by 50+ years and I enjoyed it very much."*****Book Summary*****A secret to die for In order for Becca Tanner to cheat death, she must give up her identity and start over at age seventeen.
