A Fantastic Twisted Read

Such a fantastic twisted read. Just from the start of the story I was captivated. The characters were wonderfully crafted. I was so intrigued with this story that I devoured it in one sitting determined to see where it went. The pacing was fantastic and had me on the edge of my seat. The banter between Josslyn and Alicia was entertaining. There was never a dull moment within this story. The narrators did a great job. As I listened I was able to picture their every word as if it were a show. I'm looking forward to what part 2 has in story.

Amazing!

This was such an amazing, twisty thriller! The narrator did a fantastic job with all of the characters. I would absolutely listen to the next books if they get narrated!

Very interesting concept

This book was awesome! Josslyn and Alicia are twins that were adopted at birth by two different families. Josslyn has always had Alicia's voice in her head. Her parents never told her she was adopted until she found out when helping clean out the attic. She then goes on a mission to locate Alicia and what follows is insane! I would recommend reading the prequel Bad Seed to get a better understanding of Josslyn and Alicia. I loved this.

My Dark Self

“My Dark Self” is a psychological thriller about 2 people in 1 body…a case of split personality. Both Josslyn & Alicia want to be the dominant personality & the twists & turns in the novel will keep you guessing as to which personality will win out in the end. Jessica Huntley portrays this mental health issue with sensitivity & grace. I listened to this book via Audible & the narrator really portrays the differences in their personalities as well as that of the other characters in this novel. She really makes the wonderful characters come to life. The jaw dropping surprise ending is a cliffhanger & while some readers are a fan of these types of endings, I prefer reading a novel that has some sort of closure at the end of it.
