YAHybrid Chronicles series.
In this first book of an anticipated series, humans are born with two souls (one dominant, one recessive) that are presumed to naturally merge in childhood. Eva and Addie, taken for experimentation and forced melding, get a glimpse into the motivations and dark secrets behind the souls each body contains. Awkward dialogue and underdeveloped world-building are balanced with sharp characters and a clever premise.
