Hybrid Chronicles series.
The Hybrid Chronicles come to an end as Addie and Eva--two souls who share a body--agree to go deep undercover in order to highlight the hybrids' plight and save Addie's love, Jackson. In this volume, Addie is a thin character compared to narrator Eva, the sub-dominant soul. Still, series fans will continue to enjoy the dual love stories and government intrigue.

Hybrid Chronicles series.
This sequel to What's Left of Me finds Eva/Addie still struggling to each find their places in their shared body; as rare examples of two "souls" that didn't merge, they're considered dangerous by society. It's a fascinating concept and the world is more richly developed in this volume, but the protagonist(s) are changeable in ways too convenient to the plot.

Hybrid Chronicles series.
In this first book of an anticipated series, humans are born with two souls (one dominant, one recessive) that are presumed to naturally merge in childhood. Eva and Addie, taken for experimentation and forced melding, get a glimpse into the motivations and dark secrets behind the souls each body contains. Awkward dialogue and underdeveloped world-building are balanced with sharp characters and a clever premise.
