Welcome, everyone! Today, I am hosting a blog tour for Rachel’s Random Resources. Thanks to Rachel Gilbey and Boldwood Books for the gifted ebook to write my honest review.
‘Please, I need your help. You’re the only person I can turn to. The only person who can pretend to be me…’
When Alice gets a desperate message from her estranged identical twin sister Cecily, she can’t help herself. She has to say yes. Pushing down the memories of the terrible childhood that ultimately tore them apart, she arrives at her sister’s house.
Cecily has left instructions: how to work the oven, what to cook for supper, what to say to her husband.
She says she’ll only be gone a week. She just needs to contact a lawyer, sort her head out, and work out how to get away from her marriage safely.
Alice barely knows why she’s agreed. But as she puts the key in the door, she wonders if – in coming to help her sister – she might be putting herself in the most terrible danger.
Because when Cecily stops replying to messages, and the words ‘die, die, die’ appear scrawled in lipstick on the bathroom mirror, Alice realizes – someone is out to get Cecily.
And now they think Alice is her…
An absolutely pulse-pounding psychological thriller – with a twist that literally nobody will see coming – from bestselling author Saskia Sarginson. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Shari Lapena and Gone Girl.
My Review
Another new author for me, Identical sounded so good I just couldn’t help wanting to read it. I am a big psychological thriller fan and was dying to settle down with this.
Cecily and Alice are identical twins but estranged, so when Alice receives a desperate message from her twin, it leaves Alice in a quandary. Their past has scarred them both and fractured their twin sibling bond. Alice decides to go to Cecily’s aid, leaving Alice in a precarious position. One which seems to feel like a nightmare that has her trapped.
What a chilling and tense thriller! Saskia Sarginson has skilfully written this book in a way that had me captivated. Narrated from the past and present day by both of the twins. I thought this worked so well, I always prefer to have multiple points of view. I find I get a more fuller picture of everything. This time, I have to say the twists and the plotting kept me glued to the pages and in suspense constantly.
As the story unfolded and the pages flew by, I was dying to get to the bottom of everything, and on the other hand, I didn’t want the book to actually end. The pacing was perfect for me, and the conclusion was truly unexpected. Everything made this a psychological thriller I would recommend for anyone who, like me, loves a great psychological thriller!
