Date: 12 16, 2011
This story houses every expectant mother's nightmare: Is there something wrong with my baby? Amy starts out not expecting to be a mother--she has her ill parent and her career to worry about first--and her initial interest in the program is only for the money, but as she gets further involved with the Women's Clinic, she begins to wonder and worry about the creature developing inside her.  Every terror and fear a pregnant woman can have is played out in her mind as she watches the abnormal growth of her own body, things which should happen in months sudden encapsulated into weeks.  Amy isn't some weak flower to simply sit and wring her hands, however, and her reactions, first to Dr. Godinez's story, then to the facts she herself discovers make for a thrilling, if somewhat terrifying tale, of people who use a miraculous medical procedure in the wrong way, though for the right reasons, giving the term "the ends justifies the means" a more than chilling interpretation.Gargoyles is a tense medical thriller which will hold you until the last page...and beyond, since it's the first book in a series.This novel was supplied by the author and no remuneration was involved in the writing of this review.
