on the release today of
The Twin!
The Twin by Steena Holmes
Psychological Fiction, 313 pages
Published August 29, 2024 by Joffe Books
My twin brother is the person I’m closest to. But now he frightens me.
We both have the same white-blond hair and clear blue eyes. All our lives people have stared at us. So we had to be there for each other.
Bryce tried to protect me from our dad. But when he died, I thought I was finally safe.
After the funeral, Bryce takes me aside: “Since Dad’s passing . . . well, it’s been going on for a few years now. I’ve been keeping a huge secret from you.”
Now I’m lying bruised
and broken on a cold floor in a dark room. How I got here is the question. And what they want from me is insane . . .
My thoughts about The Twin ~~
(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)
First lines—"Death is a permanent fixture in my life, but I'm not ready to shake hands with that Angel and be welcomed into its embrace. Sometimes those decisions aren't ours to make."
I'm a huge fan of Steena Holmes and her stories and was so excited to read this one—another one of her fabulous thrillers. And this one did not disappoint.
There were so many unexpected twists to this story, things I couldn't even imagine, that sometimes I was sitting in shock at the direction the storyline was going. I'm sure if I went back and read it again, I would look at some plot points in a whole different light. Twenty-twenty hindsight, right? I may just do that, now that I know the whole story.
The climax to this story was pretty intense and I wasn't sure that it was going to end well. What an exciting ride this was. I loved The Twin and thoroughly enjoyed the intriguing characters and all the twists, turns, and secrets. I highly recommend it!
I received an ARC of The Twin and this is my honest opinion.
