Accelerated Reader and Scholastic Reading Counts! Selection
“An entertaining, suspenseful thriller with a genuinely chilling villain. Good fun.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Layne’s tale is a heady mix of conspiracies, alternate identities, and sinister underground laboratories with a creepy schizophrenic villain that readers will love to hate. Recommend this title to thriller fans who will enjoy the ride.”
—VOYA
“What will hold teen readers is the horror of a parent prepared to do anything, even kill, in order to clone the perfect family.”
—Booklist
Something wicked this way comes; in this case it’s high schooler Jack Barrett’s father, whose inherent drive for perfection has spiraled into a raging obsession ever since he began working for the mysterious Eden Corporation. When his father forcibly relocates the family to Paradise, a village that is literally owned by Eden’s enigmatic CEO, Jack uncovers a sinister plot that threatens the lives of everyone he loves. Delving even further into the secrets of the village, he soon learns just how high the price for perfection can be . . . and to what lengths some people are willing to go to obtain it.
