Orphan Black meets Inception: Two formerly conjoined sisters are ensnared in a murderous plot involving psychoactive drugs, shared dreaming, organized crime, and a sinister cult.
One night Tila stumbles home, terrified and covered in blood.
She’s arrested for murder, the first by a civilian in decades. The San Francisco police suspect involvement with Verve, a powerful drug, and offer her twin sister Taema a chilling deal. Taema must assume Tila’s identity and gather information – then if she brings down the drug syndicate, the police may let her sister live. But Taema’s investigation raises ghosts from the twins’ past.
The sisters were raised by a cult, which banned modern medicine. But as conjoined twins, they needed surgery to divide their shared heart – and escaped. Taema now finds Tila discovered links between the cult and the city’s underground. Once unable to keep secrets, the sisters will discover the true cost of lies.

| This book really throws everything into the mix, but instead of that being really confusing, it's just awesome. Formerly conjoined twins keeping secrets, a criminal organisation, a woman going undercover as her twin in said criminal organisation. Add to that technology that downloads information straight into your HEAD, a drug that is seriously dangerous, and a super sweet romance, and this book has everything you could possibly want. It even has a cult for Christ's sake. Plus it's so well written, packed with tension and thrills and threats, and its underlying drive is the love of one sister for another. There's nothing I didn't love. Gimme the sequel! |
