False Hearts
by Laura Lam

Synopsis:
Orphan Black meets Inception: Two formerly conjoined sisters are ensnared in a murderous plot involving psychoactive drugs, shared dreaming, organized crime, and a sinister cult.

Raised in the closed cult of Mana’s Hearth and denied access to modern technology, conjoined sisters Taema and Tila dream of a life beyond the walls of the compound. When the heart they share begins to fail, the twins escape to San Francisco, where they are surgically separated and given new artificial hearts. From then on they pursue lives beyond anything they could have previously imagined.

Ten years later, Tila returns one night to the twins’ home in the city, terrified and covered in blood, just before the police arrive and arrest her for murder—the first homicide by a civilian in decades. Tila is suspected of involvement with the Ratel, a powerful crime syndicate that deals in the flow of Zeal, a drug that allows violent minds to enact their darkest desires in a terrifying dreamscape. Taema is given a proposition: go undercover as her sister and perhaps save her twin’s life. But during her investigation Taema discovers disturbing links between the twins’ past and their present. Once unable to keep anything from each other, the sisters now discover the true cost of secrets.
I love Laura Lam. After having read Pantomime and Shadowplay, I fell in love with her world building and with her writing and I've been desperate for more ever since (especially more Micah Grey! It sucked when Strange Chemistry stopped publishing books). So of course, the moment I saw this pop up on Goodreads, I had to add it to my wishlist, even though it's not going to be published until June next year!
And this book sounds just as thrilling as Pantomime and Shadowplay, and although it's set in a totally different kind of world, I have no doubt that this one will draw me in just as much. I'm so excited about this, I might burst!
