What an amazing read! I picked up this book by chance, drawn in by the captivating cover and an intriguing storyline. I needed a thriller that could keep me glued to the pages during the early days of summer, and I certainly couldn’t have made a better choice.

The story is quite simple, involving a family with a long history of twin births in their family tree. However, in the time of this story, one of the two twin sisters in the protagonist family has killed the other. It’s a terrible secret kept by the mother and aunt of the young girl, though the “culprit” is supposedly an imaginary friend that the two sisters shared.

I love family secrets, stories with great mysteries woven into the narrative, and especially well-developed characters who could step off the pages and come to life in the real world. I loved everything about this book. From the protagonists to the secrets, to the author’s style that builds suspense and keeps the reader hooked, eager to find out what happens as their eyes scan the pages. The original plot also has significant importance, as you never get the feeling that you can predict the story’s outcome or that it’s heading towards a predictable or, worse, incomprehensible conclusion. Lastly, a special mention goes to the ending. The final parts of the story are a succession of twists that surprise and shock the reader, making me love the book even more.

At this point, I can only thank NetGalley for allowing me to read this novel, and even more, I can’t help but recommend it to anyone looking for a story so well written that it’s impossible to put down until the very end.
(A detailed review of this novel will be online on my blog and Instagram profile (https://medium.com/@inabookhole and @inabookhole) starting next week.)

When her twin died, seven-year-old Abby claimed her friend—the one no one else could see—was responsible. Years later, haunting memories resurface. Suspecting that the real killer is still at large, Abby sets out to find the truth and protect her family from a looming threat.

This is a clever, multi-viewpoint domestic thriller. The pacing kept me on the edge of my seat, wondering what would happen next. I really enjoyed this book!

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

This book was phenomenal! I read it in one sitting. That seems to be the trend with this author and myself. The first book I read was the same way! She is a fantastic storyteller and she has what it takes to grab you and keep your attention until the end! I will be following her and will read anything that she puts out! I will highly recommend her books!

Oooohhhhhh what a read!!! Eerie, chilling, atmospheric and addictive. The style of writing was right up my street with chapters told from multiple pov giving us lots of different angles to the story. The perspectives of each of the main players really helps us feel engrossed in what is playing out in front of us as secrets are uncovered and past traumas are brought to execution.

In a nutshell twins Abby and Ally are born into a family from a long line of twin girls, one always dark haired and dark eyes, one blonde haired and blue eyes. One of the girls always claims to have “the gift” the ability to predict when something bad will happen, Only Abby killed her sister when she was 7 but the only people who know this are herself, her mum Rosemary and aunty Ruby. But Abby claims the real culprit was their imaginary friend Tina.

This is a haunting read, detailing back decades of the history of this tainted family, I loved it from beginning to end. Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the arc in exchange for my honest review.
