The Look-Alike

It wasn't hard at all to get into this novel, it was intriguing for me right off the bat actually. I was more on a kick for mystery and suspense and The Look-Alike delivered quite nicely.

Sienna has some harsh memories of her childhood town, especially of an incident involving a dead body. She fled to her grandmother's for ten years only to come back to face her mother's mental illness and see the dark pieces from her past still waiting for her.

Spindler already hooked me pretty well with that, but then I got immersed in the things that start happening with Sienna back in town. While Sienna has always known her mother's fears for her, she thought they were just because of her mental illness...but then some things start happening. And we start to see that maybe her mom has been right, and then from there...


My goodness, y'all it was plot-twisting around to where I couldn't predict! I love predicting who did it in these kinds of books (whether that's because I still want to believe I have actual intelligence is still up for debate), but I didn't get irritated at all. The characters didn't make me want to slap them silly, in fact I was biting my nails at some points because I was trying to figure things out.


The author's trail throughout the pages was wonderfully fast-paced and sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat. The clues to who did it and what was happening to Sienna and her mother were both misleading and perfect!

This author was quite the genius!
