giveaway make sure to enter to win a copy!
Wow,
it wasn’t easy to find quotes that weren’t too spoilery, and then it was even
harder to narrow down the quotes to only ten. I hope I did a good job!
1. I coaxed the memory of a little girl I’d bumped in the mall. I
pictured her delicate features, her narrow shoulders, her slender limbs. I
imagined looking through her eyes, inhabiting her body. Immediately, the
familiar rippling sensation started in my toes and crept up my calves.
- I love
this because it’s the first time we get a glimpse at Tessa’s talent
2. “Morphing into a little girl—that’s quite a party trick, Tessa.”
- Just love the teasing quality of this!
3. Average human—only Major
was able to make it sound like an insult. He looked at me like I was precious,
his most prized possession. His trophy Variant.
- Well, it’s a good quote to
get a taste of Tessa’s relationship with her “boss” Major.
4. Major leaned back in his
chair, his face businesslike. “You’ll get a few minutes alone with the victim
so your body can gather her data.”
He made it sound all
clinical and easy, but it wasn’t.
- Another good example. (Sorry!
It’s so hard to say why I exactly I love certain quotes!)
5. And now I was supposed to
pose as someone else’s daughter, become a part of a normal family, which was
the last thing I knew how to pretend.
- This is a very important
quote, because it hints at Tessa’s past.
6. Soon, I’d be able to copy
her perfectly despite the fact that I didn’t yet know anything about her—not
about her worries, her fears, or her dreams. I’d be nothing but a hollow
imitation of the girl she used to be.
- Good example of Tessa’s
worries about the mission.
7.
“You always do that, you know,” Alec said.
I swallowed a gummy bear. “Do what?”
“Bite their heads off first.”
I shrugged. “It’s the nice thing to do. If you could
choose, would you rather be eaten alive starting at your feet or would you want
it to be over quickly?”
“Well, if it was up to me, I’d rather not be eaten at
all.”
- Okay, what can I say? Playful banter between Alec and Tessa? Enough
said.
8. Alec always said his
Variation helped him cheat death but the FEA helped him survive.
- In this scene we learn
more about Alec’s past!
9. A horrible thought crashed into my mind. Had I changed back to my own
body by accident? But no, it couldn’t be. Devon didn’t look freaked out enough
for that. If he’d seen his sister shape-shift into a stranger, his face would
have shown something much greater than puzzlement.
- Just love the scene surrounding this quote!
10. What had been a comfortable silence, now felt like the moment when
the birds go quiet in the forest and you know something terrible is stalking
you.
- I always liked this quote. Not sure why, I just do!
These are great thanks so much for stopping by Susanne!
Need more? Here’s some info about IMPOSTOR!
Can Tessa pose as Madison . . . and stop a killer before it’s too late?
Tessa is a Variant, able to absorb the DNA of anyone she touches and mimic their appearance. Shunned by her family, she’s spent the last two years training with the Forces with Extraordinary Abilities, a secret branch of the FBI. When a serial killer rocks a small town in Oregon, Tessa is given a mission: she must impersonate Madison, a local teen, to find the killer before he strikes again.
Tessa hates everything about being an impostor—the stress, the danger, the deceit—but loves playing the role of a normal girl. As Madison, she finds friends, romance, and the kind of loving family she’d do anything to keep. Amid action, suspense, and a ticking clock, this super-human comes to a very human conclusion: even a girl who can look like anyone struggles the most with being herself.

I don't think I'd like to imposter anyone. I am a horrible actress and would undoutably end up blowing my cover.
ReplyDeleteOoohhh I think I would be my boss or co-workers imposter! That way I can play tons of tricks and pranks on them! :D
