Reviewer’s Thoughts

The Double Twin Murders is a terrifying thriller that is sure to keep you up late at night. The author has created a fantastic story that keeps the reader engaged from the first page to the last with heart-pounding action and abject horror. The fear that the characters feel jumps off the pages, and the hunt of a psychopathic killer becomes so real, it feels as though you’re in the story itself. The characters that the author has created are genuinely well thought out. I particularly love the strength and courage of the main character, Annie, as she has to face a past that has haunted her for years.

I am a huge fan of mystery/thrillers. They are so exciting and usually fast paced, and this book is both of those things and then some. It’s incredibly intense and not for the faint of heart or those easily frightened. But it is brilliantly written and for those who enjoy a great thriller, this book should be the first that you pick up off the shelf.
