Summary: 

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Girl at the Border comes a haunting thriller about one woman’s journey into the painful truths threatening to destroy her.

When
Tara Peary’s twin sister Sophie goes missing, Tara dives into New
York’s underbelly to find her. Sophie is the one person who’s ever truly
understood her, and Tara knows her sister isn’t the only one who needs
help.

Tara is also on the run emotionally from her complicated
childhood. Her memories are threatening to overwhelm her emotions and
derail the hunt for Sophie. A psychotherapist keeps her afloat, but when
Tara begins dating her therapist’s young tech-millionaire neighbor, she
risks losing the only lifelines she has left.

The more Tara
uncovers about her sister’s disappearance and the dark side of the rich
elite, the less certain of the truth she becomes. As Tara reaches the
center of the mystery, spanning from her childhood home in Georgia to a
Southern California beach, she has to decide whether the truth is a
price she’s willing to pay.

My thoughts: This is the first time I’ve read anything by Leslie Archer but it definitely won’t be the last. This book is exactly why I love reading psychological thrillers – they are twisty and crazy and keep me flipping the pages.

This is a dark, and at times disturbing, book – let me just say that now. It goes places that you won’t expect and may not work for everyone but within the framework of the story, it works. It’s also the kind of book that really needs to be read in big chunks of time so as not to lose the momentum of the story. I tried reading little bits here and there and was lost and ended up having to start over when I had time to really devote myself to the book. 

There are quite a few twists in this book and while you may think you know where it is heading once one or two are revealed, think again. This book kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time, desperately trying to work out just how all the pieces were going to come together. 

I love a good twin story – they just seem to grab me and this one is like none you have read before. I was completely captivated and even with the darker, disturbing parts, I still found it to be a thrilling read that is complex and full of suspense. I definitely recommend!
