There hasn’t been an author that has captured my interest in medical thrillers such as Kira and with her latest Baby X, an interesting plot considering our current climate regarding this subject area, I was drawn in from the start.

Baby X, definitely raises an interesting perspective into the future involving technology and science with embryos. If you had the choice to be able to create a child with the most desirable genes, would you? When a black market operative, The Vault preys on famous people to make money on their cells to create embryos, it becomes their worst nightmare not knowing who will get them. When superstar Trace Throne finds himself on the black market, he decides to do whatever is necessary to keep himself safe. He hires Ember Ryan to protect him from any chance of his cells getting out there to keep him safe from theft.

Despite Ember’s expertise with biosecurity and her fierce loyalty to protect Trace at all costs, they find themselves growing closer but just one problem. When a stranger confronts Trace with his worst fears, secrets are revealed and challenge her loyalty and their relationship.

Told in alternating perspectives, this was an interesting plot. Incorporating science and technology with a future perspective that might not be too far fetched, piqued my curiosity as the book progressed. To be honest, as the first chapter initially hooked me into the book, there was a period of time that cooled down for me but once it got going again, I couldn’t stop reading. That ending wasn’t anything that I would’ve anticipated. I’m still thinking about it. I actually had to sit back and wonder if I missed something because that was a twist that I wasn’t expecting but brought the book together perfectly.
