It took entirely too long to get to the “incident,” and I’m left with no resolution or answers to the questions raised by the “evidence” presented in the book.
I liked the premise of the book: Carly/Kaitlyn - dissociative identity disorder or twin souls inhabiting one body. The set up of the book was interesting and quite clever. However, the delivery of the story was repetitive and annoyingly so. I kept shouting out loud to just “spit it out, already!” during many of the scenes. That same convoluted and deliberately confusing story could have been told in half the pages and still left all the questions unanswered.
Frustrating!

This is one of my favorite horror books I’ve ever read. As a psychology student it was really intriguing to read about about a character with DID but with a twist. The only reason this is not a five is because I got increasingly frustrated with the detectives on the case and her crackpot of a therapist.
