When identical twins tell each other lies, the result could be deadly.Piper has led a posh life in Winchester, England, with loving parents, popularity in school, and boyfriend Zak (the only character of color) at her beck and call. Her identical twin, Quinn, was raised by their eccentric, fortuneteller grandmother in remote Dartmoor, never attended school, and only saw their mother, Isobel, sparingly. Because Isobel kept them separated, the 17-year-olds first meet at her funeral. Quinn wants to know all about the father she never had; Piper wants to know Quinn's mysterious background. The twins' mutual curiosity and suspicion instantly set a mood of intrigue in this thriller, which alternates their perspectives in short, first-person chapters. Reluctantly agreeing to work together to piece together their pasts, Piper and Quinn discover a bond forged through shared dreams of darkness, an inheritance, and a family curse. Readers must constantly guess who is manipulating whom as secrets and lies mount in an effort to claim the inheritanceby any means necessary. Murky bogs, stormy moors, haunted woods, and supernatural beings add to the intensity and sinister atmosphere. With elements of gothic literature (and a few references to Wuthering Heights), this story could serve as a bridge to gothic classics. Thriller readers may simply enjoy the creepy mystery.

Gr 7-10-A thriller fantasy novel complete with ferocious hounds, a chilling moor landscape, and mysterious twin sisters separated at birth. Told in alternating chapters, readers learn that Quinn Blackwood lives a harsh life on the moors under the watchful and disapproving eye of her grandmother. She is often punished and warned of her darker element, but has no grasp of its meaning. Piper lives a lavish life filled with many friends, a doting father, and a present mother. When the twins' mother is mysteriously attacked and killed by a pack of dogs, Piper and Quinn are secretly reunited at her funeral. Piper's boyfriend, Zak, is the only other person to know about the discovery and assists them in uncovering their family history. As the twins trade places to learn about each other's lives, Piper discovers vulnerabilities in Quinn and Quinn becomes aware of Piper's uncanny ability to lie and manipulate others. Quinn is increasingly drawn to Zak but committed to exploring a loving relationship with a sibling. When Quinn returns to Dartmoor, she dreams of a frantic chase by hounds while Piper dreams more frequently of the hunt and the taste for blood. One twin is drawn to the kill, and Quinn's darkness may have been misread. Several flashbacks draw readers to the origins of the Blackwood curse. Terry weaves elements of time travel, witches, cursed hounds, and betrayal in a style that is heavier on mystery and relatable characters. VERDICT A great addition for those who enjoy thrillers or fantasy -fiction.-Monica Cabarcas, Albemarle High School, Charlottesville, VA © Copyright 2017.

Quinn, raised by her grandmother to believe she is evil, and Piper, spoiled and beloved by her parents, are twin sisters who meet for the first time at their mother's funeral. As they begin to piece together their vastly different lives, a web of lies and secrets begins to unravel, threatening Zak, the boy both girls desire. Terry's modern gothic is narrated by Quinn and Piper in alternating chapters, which helps readers settle into the characters' minds. Neither girl is wholly blameless for the troubles in which they find themselves, though they are sympathetic characters, even in their untrustworthy states. Terry skirts the edge of a typical love triangle in the first half of the book but moves away from it as her setting shifts from the suburbs to bleak Dartmoor. Zak remains a solid supporting character, swept up blindly in the twins' schemes. Compelling female leads, an atmospheric setting, and short, quick chapters make this a good choice for reluctant readers looking for horror lite.--Wildsmith, Snow Copyright 2017 Booklist
