She thought she was the only one lying about her identity. Until she stepped into her sister’s life.

Charlotte Kane has always dreamed of a different life, one where she isn’t living paycheck to paycheck. An existence worlds away from the chaos of her own. Then her estranged mother dies, and Charlotte makes a stunning discovery—she has an identical twin who was given up for adoption.

Acelynn Benedict is polished, successful and seems to have everything Charlotte yearns for—a wealthy, doting family in Savannah, a handsome boyfriend, a great career. She’s just as surprised as Charlotte to learn she has a sister. But when tragedy hits and Charlotte is forced to assume Acelynn’s identity in a desperate moment, she uncovers something altogether darker…

No one in her sister’s life is quite who they seem to be. And every discovery leads Charlotte deeper into a web of deadly secrets. Charlotte may have wanted Acelynn’s life, yet now that she’s living it, she wants out. But if she reveals the truth about herself, it will mean returning to her old life—and she’s already a dead woman there.

The Other Sister by Jessica R. Patch is aphychological thriller full of twists. There are a lot of characters within this story, and you can’t trust most of them. They have something they’re hiding or alterior motives. Even the main character. You find out some surprising stuff as the story progresses. The only thing I really expected was the epilogue. I just knew it from the start. It ends in a way that leaves room for a sequel. I’m not sure there’d be enough for a sequel though, and I’m happy with how it ends. I kind of hope it’s left as a stand alone with its little bit of mystery left to keep you wondering.

The ARC of  The Other Sister by Jessica R. Patch was kindly provided to me by the publisher through NetGalley for review. The opinions are my own.

I’m Jess Patch, a wife of over thirty years to my real-life hero, a mom of two grown adults with my first grand on the way! I’m a dog-lover and have a super spoiled Shetland Sheepdog (sheltie). Now that my kids are grown, when I’m not writing inspirational romantic suspense and dark twisty thrillers that explore the darker parts of human hearts yet offer a hope-filled ending, you can find me binging audiobooks at my pool during the summer or on my daily walks. If I’m not doing that I’m avoiding household chores with lunch dates over tacos and copious amounts of cheese dip and tortilla chips and the discussion usually surrounds true crime and how we could solve cold cases so easily if given the chance (we do love our delusional state)!
