REVIEW

RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If Sarah Bonner’s debut, Her Perfect Twin, is an indication of how 2022 is gonna go debuts wise, I can say without fear of being wrong that it’s gonna be awesome.

Megan and Leah are twins, stranged twins after Leah published a book airing all their family’s dirty laundry. When Megan finds a photo of her sister in her husband’s phone she goes to confront her but…oops, she ends up killing her! (just a sisterly little fight!). Can she get away with murder posing as her dead twin? It looks like she will until lockdown hits (yeah, COVID f*cking everyone’s plans once again!).

I was absolutely mesmerized with this story. Could it be cause I’m a twin myself? A not murderous twin, by the way. Yeah, Megan might have killed her sister but I found her character really sympathetic. I just wanted things to go her way. When you think you know what direction the story is going lockdown comes and all her carefully laid plans go to sh*t and that’s when the real fun began (well, not for her! Poor Megan!).

Her Perfect Twin had one of the most despicable characters I’ve read lately that awoke my killing instincts so bad!

The tension kept ratcheting up with several OMG!, WHAAATT??!!, HOLY SH*T! moments that led to a really satisfying scene during which I actually clapped my hands.

The last thirds made my anxiety go through the roof in a final battle of wits that wasn’t solved until the last page. 

Her Perfect Twin is a fantastic psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire story. After this amazing debut, I am truly excited to find out what the author has in store for us next. It may be only January, but Her Perfect Twin is already a strong contender to enter my 2022 top ten list. 

Thanks to NetGalley and Hodder & Stoughton for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

HELLO, IT’S ME!

  I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to read... MY BRAND NEW BLOG! (Look at me plagiarazing   drawing inspiration from Adele for my very first entry).                                                               She approves! So, if you're here reading this...THANK YOU for tuning in! For those who don't know me my name is Javier and after more than a year writing reviews on sites as Goodreads and NetGalley I decided to create my own blog to share my love of books with the world. When I first started writing reviews I was not able to put two sentences together, but as I kept writing I realized I had lots to say about the books I read. Rest assured my reviews will always be honest (no problems here telling when I don't like something) and spoiler free (I hate spoilers!). My personal preferences are:    - Mystery/Suspense/Thriller (medical, legal, cozy... if there's a dead body, I'm in. Not for nothing I'm a medical examiner myself)    - Conte
