Twenty years after the great drought of 2020, citizens in California and across the United States live under the government's watchful eye. In this age of intrusion, competition for resources and jobs is fierce. One mistake can be disastrous.

Maggie, Jasmine, Sydney, and Lena are strangers with one thing in common: they each have nothing left to live for. All these women need is a fresh start, but they'll find the cost is more than they could ever have imagined. A secretive biogenetics company offers them a mysterious serum that promises to change their identities, giving them great fortune and power. Is such a serum too good to be true?

The women find that their new success draws them into a world of rivalry and blackmail, and by the time they discover the truth about the serum, it's too late. The evil scientist who created it only cares about money, regardless of how many people get hurt.

After reuniting for follow-up testing, the four women realize their only choice is banding together to stop testing of the serum. They're watched from every side, but they must try to salvage what little is left of the humanity of Earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Would you trade your life for another?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to ditch your identity, and reform yourself into a whole new life, just because you assumed a new identity? A fantasy for many, to be sure, and this exciting novel by Cynthia Kumanchik explains what could happen if such technology really existed. Moving, dramatic, and capable of running chills down your spine with this tale of volunteers for a radical new science of identity engineering. Some found the world of their dreams, some discovered a darker dimension of themselves that they never knew existed, but all of them did what they could to accept and control their new, amazing worlds, and survive. A book that will keep you turning the pages, as it employs a classic literature strategy: what happens next. A definite winner!

1.0 out of 5 stars Stupid, trite, and badly written
Reviewed in the United States on 3 July 2018

This drivel isn't worth reading. I don't know how old the 'author' is, but she writes like a hormonal pre-teen. Don't waste your time.

If I could, I'd have given it no stars. It truly is that bad.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good sci-fi thriller!
Reviewed in the United States on 19 February 2018

The book proposes the question...who are we really? Are we are job? How we look? Our ambitions? Or is it something more? And what if a pill could change everything and turn everything around? Of course, nothing is what it seems. Identity introduces us to a handful of characters, the first being Maggie who is living a life she couldn't have envisioned for herself. And it's downright awful. When she gets a message that she's been invited to an opportunity that changes all that, she can't help but be a little curious. It isn't long before she realizes it's all a little too good to be true.

The rest of the cast of characters get swept up into their fantasies come to life. Jasmine is now Jaz and is living the life of an upcoming super model, Lena is a successful stockbroker and even Maggie is dazzled by the life as a famous author. The plot quickens as the characters embrace their life. I liked the characterization a lot and especially enjoyed Maggie's character and how she steps in to solve the puzzle and the mystery of the pills their all given. The only small thing I had trouble with was how easy everything came and so fast. But I figure that's the magic of this mystery pill right?

The setting is enjoyably futuristic and I liked seeing how the author envisioned the world changing. The science behind the pill isn't explained too much. I would have liked an idea about how it all worked. One thing I liked was how the hybrid animals were used in the story and even how those relationships evolved.

There are no quick and easy answers in life and this book speaks to that. At least when there are, there tend to be consequences.

If you like science fiction and futuristic possibilities, you'll want to read this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars hard to read
Reviewed in the United States on 2 July 2018

this book seriously needs an editor. I don't normally post bad reviews; i just delete the book and move on, because there are more barely ok or not at all ok ebooks than good ones that i've found, and i read 2-5 books a week. Who has time for the bad reviews? But this one has a great premise and i truly want to know how the story unfolds so i've kept reading. It is torturous due to the poor editing. And 1/2 way through the story still hasn't come together. I may have to give up on it after all.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting idea.
Reviewed in the United States on 10 February 2018

The premise of this story is definitely interesting. Many people would find it enticing to be offered a pill that can magically transform their lives, making their wildest dreams come true despite the possibility of unknown side effects. I can see why the four main characters, or test subjects, accepted that offer.
The book is fast paced and full of action. At times, it goes a bit too rapidly and some details get glossed over. The reader does not really have a chance to connect with any of the protagonists. Not all of the characters seem fully developed beyond the drive to escape their past selves.
