Definitely not a "twisty psychological thriller" as stated on the cover.It was generic and not well written. Characters were all one dimensional and the ending was very unsatisfying and rushed.

Look at this dark, haunted and sooo beautiful cover! It whispers to your ear slowly: “Pleaseeee read me!” And I did what I was told. Good twin and evil twin, dark one wants to take place of the white one. This kind of mind bending, nail biting, nightmare summoning, evil soul conjuring stories are my all-time favorites and they never make me disappointed as like this book which gave me enough entertainment and irritating satisfaction.You know classic “Single White Female” theme. They’re not twins...

2,5/5I hated the ending so much, I am ANGRY

Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || PinterestWhen I was a kid, I was a big fan of the Scholastic Point Horror imprint-- if you're old enough to remember pulp fiction, these were basically the middle grade version of that: cheaply printed novellas, each under 200 pages, about trashy horror ranging from killer vampires, to serial killers, to dysfunctional family members. What would you get? You'd have to read to find out.Natasha Preston is a new author to me. I knew she wrote thrille

I recieved this early as part of a book tour, all my opinions arw my own and given voluntarily. This review contains spoilers! I really disliked this book. It started off alright but it was all right in there... There was no build up and as much as I felt tension and the need to finish it I didn't really believe it... Absolutely no one believes her? They've known her for a long time and suddenly they don't believe her... This makes no sense to me at all... The ending! This ending killed me! I ha...

The Twin by Natasha Preston is a young adult thriller that reminded me a lot of the old movie Single White Female but with teen twins. Iris and Ivy are the twins in this story with Ivy being the protagonist of the book.When Iris and Ivy were young their parents filed for divorce and at that time Ivy stayed with her father while Iris moved with her mother. Now though after an accident takes the girls mother’s life Ivy finds herself forced to make room for Iris back in her life. It doesn’t take lo...

Ivy and Iris are twins. They are separated when their parents divorce. Ivy stays with their dad, Iris goes with their mother. When their mom is killed in what seems to be a freak accident, Iris comes to live with Ivy and their dad. Iris slowly seems to take over Iris's life. She makes it seem as if Ivy is mentally unstable and jealous. As she starts creating drifts between Ivy and her friends, she also causes a rift between Ivy and their father. Looking into Iris, her old friends, and certain si...

I'm so mad at the author. Why was there no justice for Ivy? It was like the author had turned against her own main character. What was the actual point in reading this book, allowing the events to unfold when nothing was resolved or concluded well. Nothing. This book was a waste of time.

Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest reviewDNF @ 30% but skimmed to about 51%. You know those posts where someone says, "I made a bot watch 1,000 hours of _______ and this is what it came up with." Well, I think a bot watched 1,000 hours of Lifetime movies and spat this out. Nothing feels natural. Our narrator, Ivy the good twin, is not written very well. Her narration of the story is honestly so uncomfortably bad that I was cring...

I mean, it could have been great. But it was just meh, and that’s all I have to say about it.

I received a free e-copy of The Twin by Natasha Preston from NetGalley for my honest review.A story about identical twin girls who are not your usual twins. Years ago, their parents divorced. One sister stayed with their father, and the other with their mother. Their mom ends up dying and Iris moves in with her twin sister Ivy. Things start to go terribly wrong when one of the sisters has bad intentions.

I really wanted to like this one...I like the concept of the evil twin and had high hopes for this book, but it just wasn't grabbing my attention and felt like a never ending string of bland high school drama. I held out hope that the ending would be worth it and at least leave me satisfied, but I could not have been more wrong. The ending irritated me even more than the rest of the book. Anyways, this book was not for me. Nevertheless, if it sounds interesting give it a try, or another book I w...

Disclaimer: My review for this book is based on an ARC sent to my workplace by Delacorte Press; all the following opinions I express are wholly my own. The Twin by Natasha Preston is a lot like a Sara Shepard book; it has an interesting premise, but there's not a lot of meat to it's bones.I think it'll be perfect for the 12-16 year old age group; it seems scandalous, but in reality most of the material is very tame (and majorly unrealistic). It's not really a true thriller- it's a cotton cand

When their parents divorced, identical twins Ivy and Iris are split apart. Iris chooses to live with their mother, while Ivy stays with their father. But when their mother dies, the twins’ worlds are turned upside down as they’re forced to live under the same roof, and try to come to terms with their mother’s death.The story is told from Ivy’s point of view, and after only a few pages, I’ve already come to the conclusion that I don’t much care for her. She’s a bit self-centered, somewhat neuroti...

01/23/2020 Pretty Little Liars vibes?? The book not the series—if you know you know !!

So, this book had so much potential. It had the good twin bad twin thing that could have been written in such an interesting way, where the twins were both morally grey and could have avoided typical sibling tropes. But no it instead went for the basic good v bad twin. Now the middle of this book wasn't bad, in fact, I had a lot of hope for this book. BUT THEN THE ENDING. That ending ruined the book for me, it could have been so good. If this book turns out to be the first in a duology or someth...

The Twin by Natasha Preston is a young adult psychological thriller about two twins, Ivy and Iris who are separated at the age of ten when their parents divorce. Ivy lives with her dad and Iris lives with her mom. They don’t have the twin bond that I so often hear about but because of the twins each visiting the other parent on off weekends and holidays/breaks, their sisterly bond isn’t strong. "Somewhere over time and our parents' separation, our silly dreams died, and we stopped sharing any ne...

Whoa what. This book had me on my toes. It's so many twists and turns. Okay so this book is about two twin sisters whose mom passed away. And so the other twin goes to live with her dad. And she starts taking over the other twin life. It's crazy Im telling you. It's a very good read.

I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.OMG THIS BOOK WAS FREAKING AMAZING! So dark and I loved all of it.The Twin, was again, freaking amazing. I loved the whole evil vs good twin because this entire thing had me on the edge of my seat. Ivy and Iris were definitely interesting when it came to siblings. They were separated once their parents got divorced and then reunited years later. No, this is not like the parent trap because.. it just isn't. It's the complete...

I had high expectations for The Twin. When I read the synopsis I thought oh parent trap meets single white female. And it was a little like that, but it was a little like that, but it also wasn’t at all. First, this book is young adult, and I mean very young adult. The characters were all very immature and I had trouble connecting. Which lead me to my other issue, I just didn’t care about the characters. I think Ivy’s immediate dislike and suspicion of Iris is what really caused this book to not...
