Murder, Suspense, and Undying Love

Love. The love of a sister that was taken away. The love of a good friend that keeps you together. The love of a surrogate mother, that loves you more than your own. The love that carries on after death. This is a tragic story of twin sisters. One who was murdered and endured a horrible life. One that survives, but blames herself for the loss of her sister.
This maybe a hard story to read. It deals with difficult subject matter. I for one liked the story very much. It was extremely suspenseful, and kept me unsure of the outcome until almost the end. The plot was good, but contains difficult subject matter, including mental illness, alcoholism, child abuse and child molestation/rape. There is strong chemistry between the characters of this book. This book reads fast, but it also had some unanswered questions. Maddie faces difficult realizations of events that occurred in her life. With the help of people that truly love her, both living and dead, she shows strong character development. This book has a heart stopping, dramatic ending.
