Description

Seven-year-old Abby didn’t kill her own sister, her imaginary friend did. Why would no one believe her?

Abby starts to remember the truth behind her sister’s death when she hears her daughter talking to her dead twin sister, Ally. These haunting memories escalate when she makes a disturbing discovery. She believes that the real killer is still out there, and to clear her name and let her sister rest in peace, she must find proof that her memories are real.

There's a good reason why no one believes her innocence as a child. Born into every generation of their family is a 'good' twin and a 'bad' twin.

Guess which one Abby is?

Fighting generations of jealousy and bitterness, Abby confronts the past, enlisting the help of estranged family members and her devoted, yet frustrating ex-husband, whom she can’t seem to free herself from. When eerie threats rear their horrifying heads, the only way that Abby can keep her daughter safe is to break the family curse.

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.

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!
