From
Identical twins who have never met, a mean-girl crowd with more money than morals, a stoic foster kid, and a beyond-the-grave narrator all propel readers into a roller-coaster ride of physical and emotional challenges in this first book in a new series. Foster kid Emma, two weeks shy of her eighteenth birthday, discovers she has a twin named Sutton and runs away from Las Vegas to meet her in Tucson. Sutton, however, seems to have been killed during the making of a snuff film. Narrating from the afterlife, Sutton cannot remember exactly who killed her, or much else about her life, as she watches her living twin try to solve the mystery. Shepard does a fast and thorough job of getting readers to suspend disbelief and go along for an adventure through a nasty underbelly of adolescent peer pressure and rebellion. Only toward the end does it become apparent that the platform is being prepared for the launch of a forthcoming second volume. Grades 9-12. --Francisca Goldsmith
Product Description
I had a life anyone would kill for.
Then someone did.
The worst part of being dead is that thereโs nothing left to live for. No more kisses. No more secrets. No more gossip. Itโs enough to kill a girl all over again. But Iโm about to get something no one else doesโan encore performance, thanks to Emma, the long-lost twin sister I never even got to meet.
Now Emmaโs desperate to know what happened to me. And the only way to figure it out is to be meโto slip into my old life and piece it all together. But can she laugh at inside jokes with my best friends? Convince my boyfriend sheโs the girl he fell in love with? Pretend to be a happy, carefree daughter when she hugs my parents good night? And can she keep up the charade, even after she realizes my murderer is watching her every move?
From Sara Shepard, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Pretty Little Liars books, comes a riveting new series about secrets, lies, and killer consequences.
