Publisher's summary

Ages 11+

Holly Ash is good actor. Just one downside: Most of the people she’s acting with have no idea they’re a part of her fiction. One that has been carefully constructed by the secretive company that Holly works for, known as D.O.P.L. Every assignment is a new role, a new name, a completely new self. Her newest role is “Margot” and her newest target: a boy her age named Will Aldrich.

Will Aldrich has it all. Money. Good looks. A powerful family name. He’s even met a beautiful girl named Margot. But his seemingly perfect life crumbles when he realizes that Margot isn’t who she says she is. She’s working for an organization that’s out to kidnap him. Black vans. Men with guns. But that’s just the beginning. Soon Will discovers something impossible: He has been replaced. Someone has taken over his life. Someone who looks and acts exactly like him. 

The mysterious organization behind this plot is doing everything possible to wipe Will out of existence. And the only person who can help him is the same person who led him into this situation: Holly Ash.

Told in chapters that alternate between narrators - Holly and Will - Replaced explores the subjects of technology and identity through a fast-paced futuristic thriller.

Wonderful

Great book. Great story, good rhythm and development. After the first few chapters really catches you to the point you can't stop!

Original and enjoyable

I am quite willing to suspend belief at the science, and thoroughly enjoyed the story and action. The plot moved briskly, the characters were interesting, and it kept me interested from the start to the end.

A little better than OK

Definitely for a younger audience, interesting premise and story but lacks … umph. Story is too casual and laughter and lightness is misplaced.

Not Just for Young Adults/Teens

Holly works for a company called D.O.P.L. Clients hire DOPL to rehabilitate friends, family, employees, etc. that have behavior problems. Holly (and others) work to apprehend the target who is then taken to DOPL headquarters for their rehabilitation. Holly only has knowledge of what goes on during her task...she doesn't know what the rehabilitation involves.

Her target for this mission is Will. She befriends Will with the goal of luring him to DOPL. But things go sideways and Holly learns that DOPL is not entirely what she thought, and that people are not being rehabilitated...they are being replaced.

This book is targeted towards teen/young adult, but I absolutely enjoyed it. It is action packed from start to finish without a lot of drama, angst, expletive language or any inappropriate activities for teens. It was just a good read. This is the second book I've listened to by Lee Bacon. When my grand-daughter gets a few years older, I will whole-heartedly recommend both books to her. I plan on reading more of his works and will likely recommend those as well.

Entertaining

So i listen to lee bacon for pure entertainment. If your looking for characters full of substance and personality and a plot that makes some sense, then this is not your book. But if you bored or miserable and need a fun and gripping story thats kinda cheesy which i like sometimes then definitely listen. Also the narration had more to be desired. Also, it was really fun yelling at my ipad the whole time. That was half the fun.

Something fun but different

This is a bit more romance than I care for, but the premise is quite different and it's well worked out. It's an enjoyable read with a mild sci fy premise.

Quite gripping

The characters were fleshed out and I really felt like I was seeing the story unfolding in front of me. It was captivating and the twists were exciting although a tad predictable. I highly recommend this and cannot express enough how much I enjoyed this.
