What if stepping into your twin’s life reveals secrets that could destroy yours?

When struggling Charlotte Kane discovers she has an identical twin, Acelynn Benedict—raised in comfort and affluence—she can’t resist peering into a world she’s always longed for. But a tragic twist forces Charlotte to assume her sister’s identity, and the glamorous existence she once envied quickly proves darker than she ever imagined.

Suddenly, no one in Acelynn’s circle is who they seem. Deceptions, betrayals, and brutal crimes lie just beneath the polished surface. As Charlotte scrambles to untangle the truth, every step drags her further into a lethal web. Yet the alternative—returning to her old life—promises a fate just as dire.

I was given this book by NetGalley for an honest review-
Charlotte discovers she has a twin and she has everything money could buy- each adopted but raised different,
They meet for the first time and realize how much they look alike but how different they are, when her sister is killed she pretends to be her but this life isn’t what she thought- friends become enemies, boyfriend or not? What will happen in this new life? Can she escape her past?

This was definitely an attention getter!
Lots of twists and turns that I never saw coming. Some of it even made the hairs stood up on the back of my neck.
It's sad and true that some people are never what they seem. That they're always hiding something.
People always end up showing their true colors.
This is what I love about this authors works. She's my go to for excellent thriller reads.
I loved every minute of it. It was so good I couldn't put the book down! Wow! I was literally kept on the edge of my seat.
Amazing characters that will leave you thinking about them long after this book is over.
5 stars from me for keeping me engaged. I definitely highly recommend.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

This psychological thriller was utterly show stopping! The "keep you up at night" suspense is absolutely riveting and I was completely hooked from the first page. The storyline was incredibly brilliant. The story was far from predictable and the conclusion unbelievably jaw dropping.

Warning: Despite the intriguing plot, this book crossed the line of dark and twisted that made me uncomfortable. If you are a sensitive reader, you may want to take this into consideration before reading. There were also numerous insinuations of sexual innuendo found throughout the book. Jessica R. Patch is a very gifted author, so if these types of things don't bother you, definitely give it a try!

*I received an ARC copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are completely my own.

I just finished reading The Other Sister by Jessica R. Patch and it did not disappoint!
I can only describe it as a mixture of revenge, love and murder. The characters in the book are all running away from someone or something and the suspense continues to build. The shocking twists are constantly surprising and never seem to end. A good mystery will have you guessing to the end and "The Other Sister"kept me second guessing myself right to the last page....I was totally not prepared! Great book and highly recommend to anyone who likes a good suspense/mystery.
Thank you for the opportunity to read The Other Sister,
G.M.

Wow! What a fantastic book! The writing is pure genius. There are so many twists and turns and surprises that popped up everywhere. My jaw literally dropped by the time I was at the epilogue. Mind blown.

The characters are written brilliantly! Charlotte is like yin and yang. She's almost constantly fighting the darkness. Tillie is one of my favorites. She is tender hearted, compassionate, and loyal. Detective Christian Patrick is kind and endearing. He has a keen sense of finding the truth, and he pursues it. Acelynn, Biance, Teddy, and Ford - well, I hope that I never meet people like these in real life.

There are some difficult issues brought up. Abandonment, rape, murder, betrayal, and deception. But, there's also hope, the realization of being loved and a promise of a better future.

I was provided a complimentary copy of the book from Harlequin via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Other Sister was a fascinating psychological thriller. Every time I thought I had it figured out, I found that I didn't have it all. And the ending. I totally wasn't ready for that!

Jessica R. Patch has hit it out of the park...clean psychological thriller! The Other Sister is a tale of unexpected twists and turns from the first page to the last! Buckle up and don't forget to put on a neck brace because it is a twisty, topsy-turvy, high-speed ride!

This book was outstanding!! Each book by this Author gets better and better! I couldn't wait to finish it, but I was also not wanting it to end!! Kept me on edge! Definitely make this a 2025 favorite book!

Thank you for the ARC!
This book was amazing , had my attention right from the beginning . There are so much twists and turns I didn’t know what to think lol. Definitely recommend this book and author . 5 stars !

**Thank you so much to Harlequin Publishing for giving me an ARC of this book via NetGalley! These thoughts are all my own.**

The Other Sister kept me up at night reading because I was hooked. The plot was really well done! I kept thinking I had everything figured out, and then another twist would come. I did find the first 30%-ish to be a little slow, but once it picked up, I couldn't put the book down!

The main character Charlotte was really well developed and interesting to read about. She was flawed but believable, and I enjoyed reading through her perspective a lot. There were a lot of side characters that were also pretty well-developed, but they can be a little hard to keep track of because of how they're all involved in each others' lives.

At first I was surprised that this was marketed as a Christian book, because it doesn't read like a stereotypical Christian book. There are almost no outright mentions of God or church. However, I really liked the subtlety of it. There were deep themes of mercy and other Christian values reflected throughout the story. It was really awesome! Just a warning, though, a lot of the subject matter is darker than you may expect from a Christian novel. It's all very clean, but it can be surprising.

One of my only issues with the book was that it was sometimes a little hard to catch the switches between time jump chapters. The whole book is in first person, which is really cool because from my experience most books in first person just don't flow very well. I don't usually like first person, but this book is definitely the exception because it was executed so well! It was really engaging. However, since even the time jumps and character jumps were written in first person, sometimes it was difficult to follow).

Overall, I really enjoyed this book! It was a really great Christian thriller.

I'm sitting here thinking about the book I just read The Other Sister and my mind is blown. It was excellent!! I'm trying to find the words but just Wow!! This is Jessica R Patches best Psychological thriller to date her other books are very good but this one was different it was more about people and their dark secrets. This was a twisty tale packed with very juicy surprises and was full of shock and awe. Charlotte Kane was the daughter of an addict and was abused by the foster care system. She has come out the other side a little broken and with a self made family that include herself ,Tommy and Tillie. They keep each other sane and watch out for each other. Tommy is the gambler but an awesome guy. Tillie is the mother figure she tries to take care for all 3 of them. Charlotte finds out her mother has overdosed and while going thru a box she finds in her mothers closet she discovers she has an identical twin sister.She becomes fixated on finding her.AceLynn comes to visit her for a weekend. She discovers her sister steals, says very odd things And gives her odd looks. While they are having fun Tommy call and says he's in big trouble he needs money again but this time its bad,he owes money to a big crime boss and he needs Charlotte to come right away. Of course she takes her sister back to the hotel and she goes to find Tommy. She gets there just in time to see Tommy murdered and she finds herself on the run. She calls her sister for help and suddenly Ace Lynn is shot and thrown in the trunk of a car because she is mistaken for Charlotte. Before she can think straight she has taken over Acelynns life.She thought Ace Lynn had a great life but she is faced with secrets she can't figure out and evil throughout everyone in Acelynns life from liars and mental illness to sadists and murderes. She confronts it all in this book. It is definitely an edge of your seat page turning thriller that will keep you up at night.Charlotte learns many lessons about herself and her life and love. I want to thank Netgalley and Harlequin Love Inspired Trade for this early copy for my honest opinion.

Be careful what you wish for. In this story we find twin sisters. One, raised by her mom, is jealous of the other who seems to have it made. The second wonders why her mom would give her up. When the wealthy sister dies, the other assumes her identity and makes discoveries that keep the book moving and the reader reading..

She thought she was the only one lying about her identity. Until she stepped into her sister’s life!! Great read!!! Wow lots of chilling suspense! It also had intrigue, murder, mystery, gaslighting, identity swap, juicy family secrets, and some wild twists and turns! The story was very interesting! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

I had no idea what was going to happen! The story was captivating and suspenseful. I enjoyed it. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

All I can say is WOW! This book was a page turner from the very first page! Charlotte finds out she has a twin sister Acelynn and from the moment she meets her nothing is as it seems. Charlotte takes over Acelynn's life after she is killed. Who really was Acelynn? So much mystery and twists! The end is perfection! This author definitely kept me reading into the night! Highly recommend!! SO good!!

Jessica R. Patch has quickly become my favorite author of the year. The Other Sister was a twisty thriller that had me guessing with each turn. She's made me a fan for life!

Wow this suspense novel is twisted. There is so much packed into the storyline. Every chapter seems to move into something else. I honestly couldn’t put the book down.
Charlotte has two best friends who keep her sane. They are their own self made family. She’s always been a little off abused her whole life by an addict mom. With her mom’s recent death and her struggling with big shadows and tempted to do the wrong she needs her friends in her life .
She finds out she had an identical twin at birth and suddenly she is fixated on meeting her twin . Acelynn comes to meet her and everything seems like roses except Acelynn steals , says weird things , gives her weird looks but it’s her long lost sister .
Her friend Tommy calls and needs help immediately due to gambling over his head. She gets there only to see him murdered and soon after acelynn is murdered because they think she’s Charlotte .
Soon she is taking over acelynns life, but all is not what it seems at all.
Mental illnesses , sadists , evil , murderer and more confront you in this book.
This is not a light easy going read it is a suspenseful, chair turning twisting ride .


I received a free download from
NetGalley in exchange for an unbiased review.

Riveting, gripping, and twisting. The Other Sister taunts any reasonable resolutions Charlotte Kane contrives. Caught in a vicious web of deceit and lies, Charlotte sees no way out. How does she not know about her other sister? This riveting novel will suck you in and hold you hostage as the story unfolds and the shocking truth emerges.
Charlotte’s life is filled with chaos. In addition, she receives word that her estranged mother died. Charlotte searches her mom’s apartment and discovers she has an identical twin sister, Acelynn Benedict, who was given up for adoption. Why didn’t they want her?
Acelynn has it all. Everything Charlotte longed for but never achieved. She connects with Acelynn, and things worsen, forcing Charlotte to assume her sister’s identity. But the life of the wealthy isn’t as glamorous as she dreamed. Something sinister was stirring in Acelynn’s adoptive family, and she was caught in the middle. Determined to find the truth, Charlotte presses forward, even though it could cost her life.

I’m almost at a loss for words as I’m trying to review this book. I’m giving it 5 stars. This book is a very intense psychological thriller. The characters feel real and have depth to them. This book is full of dark topics but there is a thread of light and truth running through it. This book has more twists and turns than a West Virginia mountain road!! Every time I thought I knew where we were going, the road took another turn and we went somewhere else. I never saw the ending coming!! This story is an allegory of an unsaved person in search of truth and meaning to life. The MC is a woman who has experienced severe trauma and she makes decisions based on that. Most of those decisions drag her further down the wrong road. Yet there are people that try to help her along the way and stand by her. She is constantly questioning herself and her motives, as well as the motives of others. She wonders if anyone is actually good. Fair warning, this book is quite dark at times and there are times when you know exactly what is going on behind closed doors (and opened ones!) even though it isn’t explicitly described. To me, that’s portraying life as it for unbelievers. Some Christians might find it a little “too much”. I would recommend this book for adults and more mature teenagers.
