Description
Tessa is a Variant, able to absorb the DNA of anyone she touches and mimic their appearance. Shunned by her family, she's spent the last two years with the Forces with Extraordinary Abilities, a secret branch of the FBI. There she trains with other Variants, such as long-term crush Alec, who each have their own extraordinary ability. When a serial killer rocks a small town in Oregon, Tessa is given a mission: she must impersonate Madison, a local teen, to find the killer before he strikes again. Tessa hates everything about being an impostor - the stress, the danger, the deceit - but loves playing the role of a normal girl. As Madison, she finds friends, romance, and the kind of loving family she'd do anything to keep. Amid action, suspense, and a ticking clock, this super-human comes to a very human conclusion: even a girl who can look like anyone struggles the most with being herself. 'Fun and suspenseful.' Marissa Meyer, New York Times bestselling author of CINDER 'An unpredictable page-turner ...reminiscent of a Stephen King novel.' VOYA
Reviews / Votes
'... manages to walk the tricky line between fun and suspenseful. I was quickly lured into the covert world of Variants and the hunt for a brutal serial killer, but it was Tessa herself who ultimately won my heart. No matter what face she's wearing, Tessa is an endearing hero whose yearning for love and acceptance is one we can all relate to.' * Marissa Meyer, New York Times bestselling author of Cinder * 'A thrilling whodunit that kept me guessing until the very last pages.' * Amy Plum, author of the DIE FOR ME trilogy * 'With its compelling mystery and intriguing characters, Susanne Winnacker's Impostor kept me reading late into the night. I really enjoyed it!' * Jodi Meadows, author of INCARNATE * An unpredictable page-turner with shades of terror reminiscent of a Stephen King novel. * VOYA Magazine *More details
