Krista Reviews: David Bernstein’s – “Surrogate”

Rebecca Hardwick wants nothing more than to start a family with her husband. But when a series of tragedies occur, she is left unable to have children by natural means.

Jane Nurelle is in an abusive relationship filled with beatings, drinking and drugs. But when she learns of her pregnancy, she is determined to turn her life around, even if it means resorting to violence.

Through an unlikely series of events, these two women come face-to-face with a notable scientist who has perfected a way for couples to have biologically matched children through the process of human cloning. But his service comes at a price…and the women share more in common than they ever thought possible.

Surrogate is an unforgettable tale of life, love, revenge and maternal instinct.

This is another title from DarkFuse horror novella releases. It includes the story of two very different women and a suspicious husband. With a touch of science fiction, it makes for an entertaining and quick read.

After being the victim of a random shooting while gardening, Rebecca is left unable to have children. When her therapist mentions surrogacy through cloning, she begins to feel hopeful. Her husband is critical as Rebecca is vulnerable and it’s an expensive procedure, yet they decide to proceed.

When Jane runs away from an abusive relationship, she gets into an accident and wakes up years later in an unusual room. She will do anything to find out what happened to her and how she ended up there.

Their lives end up crossing and the cloning company has some questions to answer. What I enjoyed about this story is the perspective on cloning. It’s always been an interesting topic to me and I enjoyed this take on it. Jane was a very pleasant surprise for me as she is strong, a bit crazy, and I loved her!
