This was the first book I had read by this author and now I am hooked! If you like Robin Cook and Michael Palmer's medical mysteries then you would love this book. Looking forward to reading his other books.

Amoreena Daniels is a top-of-the-class pre-med student and she’s helping her mother fight a losing battle with cancer. On top of everything else her mother lets her health insurance lapse and now she’s not covered for any of the expensive treatment for her cancer. What is a daughter to do? Well, Amoreena finds out about a surrogacy program and, after much thinking, signs a contract. Then finds out things aren’t all what they seem to be.
This book was an easy read for me. It flowed smoothly, the characters were well-fleshed and the story progressed in a timely manner without excess description. I had a hard time putting it down. I wanted to know what the heck was going on, so I was compelled to keep turning the pages. Alan Nayes dropped breadcrumbs to the mystery in well-timed proportions. In other words, before I got too frustrated in the unraveling and peeked ahead. A fine balancing act!
The only problem I had was that Amoreena was an excellent pre-med student and she kept ignoring not only factual information about pregnancy in general, but her own gut feelings as well. I kept wanting to smack her upside the head, but it was only an occasional urge, so I was able, for the most part, to ignore it.
All-in-all a most excellent read! I definitely look forward to reading more books by Alan Nayes.

"The infant exploded in a riotous flurry of flailing arms and legs. It squealed like a pig and attempted to roll over, but a thin strap bound its chest in a supine position."
This one will make the list for the most entertaining read of the year! The suspense leading up to the moment of "the babies" was amaze balls! I found the moment really comical! I'm sure its really inappropriate, but The Syfy Channel would have a real money maker with this one. Thankfully I purchased the box set for this series. I'll be reading number 2 real soon!
