Copied from my book Instagram


A set of twins with a bunch of secrets. One goes missing, and the other does everything in her power to find her twin. I really enjoyed this book. The ending was SOO unexpected and lol plot twist. I ended up listening to this book twice in 48 hours because I was SOO shocked. This book will most definitely keep you guessing. This is a great mystery/thriller book. Check this book out! Super fun read or listen to it as an audiobook. This is my second book by this author and I've enjoyed it so much.

Thank you, @hopeedavisauthor for giving me the opportunity to read this one.

It's just one of those books that keeps you wondering what's going to happen next?!
A great and satisfying mystery/thriller novel. I honestly couldn't put the book down because I just NEEDED to know what happens next.
I didn't typically read mystery/thriller novels prior to this book so this was a great introduction to the genre.

This was a fun read. It’s not too short, but not too long. I liked how the story was unfolded while changing between different characters points of view and also between past and present. I was constantly trying to guess what would happen next and enjoyed the ending. Can’t wait to read the next book!

I always find twins interesting and they run in my family. There were times in the story that i had to remember who was who, but this story was great and had me on my toes! The ending had me shocked!

Skillfully weaves together suspense, family dynamics, and unexpected twists. The bond between the twins is portrayed vividly, and the suspense builds steadily throughout the book. The pacing is well-balanced, and the character development is commendable.

I enjoyed the pace of this suspenseful story. The back and forth was navigated nicely, and the author kept you guessing and on the edge of your seat at times. I really enjoyed the inside look into the lives of both sisters, and the narration was great! The progression from start to finish was very informative and believable in the unfolding of this thriller.

I really enjoyed this story and loved the way the story was told and how it unfolded. There are so many layers to this.....so good!

I received an audio copy of the book from the author.

I really enjoyed this story and devoured it as fast as I could. The narrator wasn’t my favourite but the story made up for it!

The narration was amazing

The twins and their story is jaw dropping

The fact that they endured so much trauma but still fought for freedom

This was a wild ride

Highly recommend

I really enjoyed this story! I liked how the characters were so different yet so alike. It kept my attention and although I figured out who did what- the way it all went down was not expected.

[Erin Andrews · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lots of crazy twists and turns! Although the timeline was hard to follow sometimes with all the POVs I genuinely didn’t see the twists and turns coming!

Action packed page turner. Identical mirror twins you’d think you know everything about your sister but do you ? This book had me flipping through the pages to get to the ending. I really enjoyed the buildup and suspense throughout it. I think this is a must read and you’re supporting an indie author what’s not to love. This book does have some tough subjects so check your mental health and take care of it.
