Summary from Goodreads:
Experiment 318: Gone Rogue
Shay is scientific experiment #318. Science may have created her, but she refuses to allow it to blind her to the difference between right and wrong…
Synthetic Hominid Assumed Youth (S.H.A.Y.) is eighteen years old, which means she has completed Phase One: Developmental. Shay no longer requires the assistance of her Optional Human Parent, Darla, who has guided her in the process of discovering her morality. Shay loves her easy, charming life aboard the marine research facility and doesn’t want it to change.
Phase Two: Experimental. All S.H.A.Y. ages 18-20 will experience loss…
Darla shouldn’t have to die because of an experiment. The thought of losing the only parent she’s ever known is too much. Determined to make sure the scientists at the facility don’t get their way, Shay entraps Darla in a transport device to escape across the Miami Border. There, on the mainland, law enforcement will keep her human parent safe.
Escape Mission: Failed…
Shay crashes into one of the Lone Keys off the coast of Florida, abandoned to all humanity, except for the stranger who drags her ashore. Shay must get Darla to safety or she will die of radiation poisoning trapped inside the Freeze Portal, but Shay can’t do it alone.
The boy who found her, an Ersatz Reproduction Intelligence Clone (E.R.I.C.), is her only hope. He has adaptation skills she needs to complete her mission. Eric was created by the same scientists who want to kill Darla, though. She tries to keep their interaction strictly business, but it’s hard to hate him. He’s flirty, charming and not to mention devastatingly handsome.
Shay must put her trust in Eric’s hands if she wants to save Darla from her fate. It may be worth her heart, but will it be worth her life?

Review:
S.H.A.Y.
A Synthetic Hominid Assumed Youth who was created by scientists in a lab. She
has a P.O.P, an O.H.P – Mom and she has A.M.I.E. S.H.A.Y. grew up with P.O.P
and Mom taken care of her. S.H.A.Y. loves them very much and when she learns
that her Mom is to be destroyed she makes a vow that it will never happen.
S.H.A.Y.
makes plans to take Mom away so that she cannot be destroyed. So she takes Mom
and A.M.I.E. hoping to reach Miami where the law there will keep Mom safe from
the scientists but alas they do not reach the boarders of Miami. Instead they
land on an island where they run into a boy E.R.I.C. who was also created by
the scientists like S.H.A.Y.
A.M.I.E.
warns S.H.A.Y. that she can’t trust E.R.I.C. and to run but S.H.A.Y. doesn’t believe
her so A.M.I.E. sets off alarms in her head which leaves her no choice but to
run. So she runs but then later realizes she has lost Mom and must go back no matter
what A.M.I.E. says to get Mom back so she can save her.
S.H.A.Y.
wants to believe A.M.I.E. when she tells her not to trust E.R.I.C. but she just
can’t seem too especially when he is so nice to her and has done nothing but
help her since she landed on the island. He flirts with her and when he touches
her it feels like electricity flowing through her. So what is a girl to do? Can
she trust E.R.I.C. long enough to help her save Mom? Can she trust him at all?
Will he betray her in the end? Or will he save her? I need the next book
E.R.I.C. now!
I
can’t wait for the next book to find out more about S.H.A.Y., Mom, A.M.I.E.,
E.R.I.C. and all the other S.H.A.Y.s. Where will S.H.A.Y. and E.R.I.C. take us
next? What do the scientists have in store for S.H.A.Y. and E.R.I.C.? I would
like to recommend S.H.A.Y. to anyone one who loves a good book and his looking
for short read to give S.H.A.Y. a try.
