About this listen

Jamie wants to be a halfskin.

Her life has become dull and pointless. If she had more biomites, the synthetic stems cells that promise hope and healing, she could take control of her life. But Jamie's body is already 49.9% biomites. The rest is clay-her God-given organic cells. Anymore biomites and she becomes a halfskin. And halfskins are shutdown.

But there is a way.

Black market biomites, called nixes, can't be detected by the government. She'd have to sacrifice her clay, but nixes can make her halfskin without anyone knowing. But first, she has to find them.

Nix Richards can help. He's the first halfskin to escape the government and Jamie has something he wants. He'll need her to help him find a fabricator to build a human body. He'll betray anyone to get it, even those closest to him.

This psychological thriller will keep them second-guessing every move while they elude Marcus Anderson and the governing agency that seeks to rid the world of biomites. But in the end, they'll all discover just how deep the betrayal goes.

Deeper and Deeper

This is the second book in the Halfskin stories. Callie and Nix are still on the run from Marcus and Mother, hiding away. Nix is deeper in Dreamworld, with Rayne, and he wants to bring her into the real world.

Marcus Anderson is still looking for Callie and Nix and just as obsessed.

The Halfskin laws have changed; people with more than half of their bodies as bio-mites are not shut down anymore. As they become more and more filled with bio-mites, they become Bricks. Clays are people who do not have any bio-mites in their bodies. There are also machines called fabricators - which can build, or re-build any person on earth. Nix wants a fabricator to bring Rayne into the real world with him.

Jamie is a young street kid who is given one of the new Nix pills, just as a club is raided and everyone is shut down. Most of the partygoers die. Jamie survives because the Nix bio-mites have not be integrated into her system. She along with a cop, escape the warehouse where the club was and find their way to where Callie lives.

This is a good progression from the first book, and I am looking forward to listening to the third.
