I received a copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

What a ride this book is! Such a fantastic story I just couldnt put down! So many little twists and turns ut will keep you guessing until the end!
This book not only shows the darker sides of life, it grips you and won't let you go.
I really hope there will be a sequel to this book.

Well good Lord how much can one person take? Vicky Collins has just been recruited by the FBI and is excited to be working on her first case - which is finding the “piggy back” serial killer. However, her world is slowly falling apart around her. A routine background check by the FBI reveals some startling information about her family There seems to be trouble brewing in her relationship with her boyfriend of many years - that’s a bit of an understatement. And..as she gets closer to finding this killer, she realizes he just may be a little too close to home.
This was a good enjoyable book with so many interesting developments that I couldn’t put it down and finished it in a couple of days. Recommended.
I remember hearing on the news about a patient who had been raped and sexually assaulted in a nursing home and thinking how horribly devastating that would be for a parent to imagine his/her daughter going through that. You’d want the person who did that to suffer. But then another little voice is saying but now you have your daughter’s child....
Thanks to NetGalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review

This was such a thrilling and twisty read! The only bad part of this book was finishing it, as I enjoyed it so much! I am definitely going to be reading more from this author!

Vicky Collins, an FBI Agent specializing in cyber crimes has been placed with a new team who are searching for a serial killer. This killer is unique ... he piggybacks his crimes on the killings of other serial killers.

Everything goes well until DNA from a previous crime is entered into their system... with amazing results. The sample reveals there is a match .... a sibling match ... to Vicky. It shows it comes from her brother.

The problem is ... Vicky doesn't have a brother... does she?

What follows is a harrowing journey Vicky undertakes to find a brother she never knew existed through his life as a foster child and beyond. The secrets she unveils are more monstrous and terrifying than she ever imagined, and a new truth about her childhood threatens to consume her.

She finds herself facing depressing problems with her boyfriend, chasing a copy cat serial killer, family complications ... and she feels as though her life is in shambles.

Then the Piggyback Serial Killer strikes again, but this time, Agent Collins has multiple suspects—including members of her own family.

(FROM THE AUTHOR) This book was inspired by a young woman in a vegetative state who was sexually assaulted and impregnated by an employee of the care facility and delves into dark subject matter — murder, sexual violence, and childhood abuse. It is not for the faint of heart.

This is a well-written psychological thriller with twists and turns as a family disintegrates under the weight of many years of lies and secrets. The story premise is a good one, even though credibility was stretched a bit as FBI Agents are not usually free to hunt for serial killers on their own .. especially if they are related. The ending was totally surprising and unpredictable.

This is not the first of this author I have read ... nor will it be the last.

Many thanks to the author / Weapenry Co-Op - In Motion Capital / Netgalley for the digital copy of this psychological thriller. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

4.5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for allowing me to read an ARC of If I Had Two Lives.

This story grabbed me from the beginning and sucked me right in. It became a little predictable, with a little twist. I wish the ending would have answered more questions I had, but overall a good book.

3.5 rounded up to 4

I received this book for an honest review from NetGalley . Wow this book pulls you in from the beginning and holds you , as you get to about 80% you think you know what’s going on but you’re wrong . I was so excited and engrossed until I read the very last page . I didn’t give this book 5 stars because I wanted more questions answered in the end , the book just abruptly ended . This is a good story I’ll definitely be reading more of this authors work.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48335968-if-i-had-two-lives

Oh hello wild rollercoaster ride! If I Had Two Lives was sooo twisty. Packed full of secrets and shocking revelations this was my kind of thriller!! That ending. Did not see that coming at all. Wow.

I'm going to need to get my hands on A.B Whelan's other books... huge thank you to NetGalley and publisher for my review copy!

This was just an ok read for me. The storyline was interesting but the writing seemed a little stilted and I couldn't really get into it.

This was an absolutely engrossing book. Well thought out, well paced, with several twists I didn't see coming. I really enjoyed watching Vicky balance her job with her personal relationships. I really liked her character and spirit; she was an awesome lead character who didn't let anything stand in the way of getting what needed doing done. I will definitely be reading more by this author!

In general, I don't enjoy books with law enforcement/detectives as a main character. I don't know why, it's just a thing. Regardless, If I Had Two Lives, the story of a young FBI agent, is a fantastic thriller.

Vicky has a great life. She's a cybercrimes special agent and have a wonderful real estate star boyfriend. However....the walls around Vicky soon crumble as family secrets are uncovered.

Inspired by a true (and VERY disturbing) story, A.B. Whelan has written a page-turner of a book.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Well, the concept was good. But the story is in the U.S.A. and the writing and wording were the UK. It just bothered me about the book...very much. Finally, it just becomes a book that was so-so. If you are from the UK you may enjoy it.more.

Thank you to InMotion Capital and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I only have one life, and tbh I wish I had not spent it reading this book. The premise is great, and the main character is very likeable, I found myself engaged in spite of the things that bothered me about this book. About that: The writing is okay, but not more than that, and there were many things that I found jarring, and which made this book hard to read. Lots of weeds in the grammatical jungle, wooden dialogue and two-dimensional characters, a completely unbelievable mash-up of clichés about people from Britain and the English they speak, and a few too many plot twists to be truly credible. Toward the end it felt like a race to see whether the author could tie up all the loose ends. They did, but not in any satisfying way.

This one was pretty twisty- some more obvious than others but still an enjoyable ride. You really do you fall in love with the main female character. Solid four
