Prototype (Archetype #2) by M.D. Waters



Publication: July 24, 2014

Publisher: Dutton Adult

Source: Publisher

The stunning debut that began with Archetype— and has readers buzzing—concludes in Prototype, when a woman’s dual pasts lock onto a collision course, threatening her present and future.
Emma looks forward to the day when she can let go of her past—both of them. After more than a year on the run, with clues to her parents’ whereabouts within her grasp, she may finally find a place to settle down. Start a new life. Maybe even create new memories with a new family.
But the past rises to haunt her and to make sure there’s nowhere on the planet she can hide. Declan Burke wants his wife back, and with a little manipulation and a lot of reward money, he’s got the entire world on his side. Except for the one man she dreads confronting the most: Noah Tucker.
Emma returns to face what she’s done but finds that the past isn’t the problem. It’s the present—and the future it represents. Noah has moved on and another woman is raising their daughter.
In the shocking conclusion to M.D. Waters’s spectacular debut, Emma battles for her life and her freedom, tearing down walls and ripping off masks to reveal the truth. She’s decided to play their game and prove she isn’t the woman they thought she was. Even if it means she winds up dead. Or worse, reborn.
Prototype takes place a year and 4 months after Archetype ends. Emma finds herself now in Mexico searching for her parents who, several years ago disappeared after they escaped prison?  Her search is thwarted when Declan (Yes Declan is back and more determined than ever) sends a mass hologram message to every country with a story that Emma was kidnapped by the resistance and puts a huge price on her head. A price that would be hard for any man to resist. Which is what Declan is counting on.
Where does that lead? Well to Noah of course. But things are different know. Sonya has a bigger part in the story this time especially since she is helping Noah raise his and Emma’s daughter. I was never a big fan of Sonya, even from the beginning. There was more than one occasion were I wanted someone to slap her and put her in her place (That person being Emma of course).
I have to admit, that before things got crazy with Declan in the first book, I was hoping just a little bit that Declan would be the guy for Emma and he would turn out not to be so bad. But then came Noah. And he stole my heart and I pretty much fell in love with him just like Emma did. And I loved that we get more Emma and Noah time.
After surprisingly falling in love with Archetype, I couldn't want to get my hands on Prototype. It turned out to be every bit as good as I hoped it would be, if not better.  I was anxious to see what would unfold next for Emma, Noah, and yes even Declan. The story never really lets up. There was plenty of action, twists and turns, to keep me hooked. I devoured the book in no time. The only thing I am sad about is that the series isn’t a trilogy.
If you’re a fan of futuristic sci-fi action stories with a tough female heroine, then I would definitely recommend this book to you.
RATING: 5 out of 5.

Introducing a breathtakingly inventive futuristic suspense novel about one woman who rebels against everything she is told to believe.

Emma wakes in a hospital, with no memory of what came before. Her husband, Declan, a powerful, seductive man, provides her with new memories, but her dreams contradict his stories, showing her a past life she can’t believe possible: memories of war, of a camp where girls are trained to be wives, of love for another man. Something inside her tells her not to speak of this, but she does not know why. She only knows she is at war with herself.

Suppressing those dreams during daylight hours, Emma lets Declan mold her into a happily married woman and begins to fall in love with him. But the day Noah stands before her, the line between her reality and dreams shatters.

In a future where women are a rare commodity, Emma fights for freedom but is held captive by the love of two men—one her husband, the other her worst enemy. If only she could remember which is which. . . .

The first novel in a two-part series, 
Archetype heralds the arrival of a truly memorable character—and the talented author who created her.   Look for Prototype, the second novel from M.D. Waters, coming July 2014.

Considering the fact that I read and loved Archetype, it comes as no surprise that now I am super anxious to get my hands on the sequel Prototype! 

All I can think about is where will Emma go, what is going to happen to her next, and where does that leave Noah…and Declan???



This is what I am anticipating right now. What book are you looking forward to this week??

What can I say about Archetype? The premise sounded interesting when I first read it. I mean I thought that I would like it, but I was unprepared for how much I ended up enjoying it. Even when I put the book down to go about my day, I was still thinking about the story and its characters. I loved it.

Emma is a 26 year old woman who lives in a world were roughly a hundred years ago a war erupted. Women in the west are free to live their life whereas women who live in the east like Emma are few and far between. Women are only considered worth marrying if they are fertile and men are desperate to claim and manipulate them.

Emma is such a fighter. I loved that about her. She goes along with some things, but she does ask questions and she is relentless when it comes to finding out about her past and who she is.

Just when I thought I knew what was going on or what was about to happen, turned out I was wrong. I think that is the re-occurring theme in this book. Expect the unexpected. There were plenty of twists and turns to keep me on my toes. I don’t want to reveal too much, because this is a book where you will want to discover things for yourself.


Archetype is the very first futuristic science fiction suspense/thriller story-line that I have ever read. I am glad I decided to try something a little new and different. Everything flowed at a great pace. The flashbacks of Emma’s past and the goings-on of her present didn’t confuse me even a little bit and I enjoyed getting to know Emma’s life. Pieces were sprinkled in, little by little until I began to see the bigger picture.  And that ending? Left me wanting more…like now. Thankfully the second and last book in this series, Prototype releases July 24, 2014. Not too long of a wait.

Readers who enjoy Futuristic Sci-Fi Thrillers will like this one.



RATING: 5 out of 5.

**I received this book on behalf of the Publisher in exchange for nothing but my honest opinion. Thank you**
