{Review} Origin by @jkbibliophile @RazorbillBooks

Pia has grown up in a secret laboratory hidden deep in the Amazon rain forest. She was raised by a team of scientists who have created her to be the start of a new immortal race. But on the night of her seventeenth birthday, Pia discovers a hole in the electric fence that surrounds her sterile home―and sneaks outside the compound for the first time in her life.

Free in the jungle, Pia meets Eio, a boy from a nearby village. Together, they embark on a race against time to discover the truth about Pia's origin―a truth with deadly consequences that will change their lives forever.

Origin is a beautifully told, shocking new way to look at an age-old desire: to live forever, no matter the cost.

Origin as a stand alone was amazing! The only issue was the convenient Love interest. But all in all it was a fresh new take on what it is to be immortal and what you are willing to live with. It's also a great coming of age book. Full of twist turns and revelations. As pia deals with her immortality and living inside glass walls. 

Now this as a companion book with Vitro is another thing. I think that if the ending of origin would have gone a different way. That author Jessica Khoury could have made a series unlike any other. And I also think it would have blown a lot of minds out of the water.

A death-defying tropical adventure delivers a frightening message about dabbling with creation from the talented author of Origin.
On a remote island in the Pacific, Corpus scientists have taken test tube embryos and given them life. These beings—the Vitros—have knowledge and abilities most humans can only dream of. But they also have one enormous flaw.

But once on the island, Sophie and Jim encounter more than they bargained for, including a charming, brilliant Vitro named Nicholas and an innocent, newly awoken one named Lux.

In a race for their lives, Sophie and Jim are about to discover what happens when science
