The Sentient by Nadia Afifi

4.5
The cult/religious aspect of this made this a unique take on human clones. I liked that I didn't know who I could trust as Amira navigated a situation that became increasingly dangerous. I also loved all the strong female characters and how they each displayed their inner strength in different ways—from Amira with her razor-sharp determination, to Valerie with her tough-as-nails exterior, to D'Arcy with her naive-yet-competent demeanor, to Rozene searching for purpose by having a child. I look forward to reading the sequel!
