Young Adult Suspense
Alice and Rachel are twins and no one can tell them apart.
When they were 9, their parents were killed and they came to
live with their aunt and uncle. Alice was always the twin
that caused trouble while Rachel was the smart and
reasonable one. This was sometimes a problem until they
decided to switch places off and on. Pretending to be each
other while fooling everyone was a kick.
Now that they're 18 and in their senior year in high school,
they're closer than ever. At least that's what one of the
twins believes. Everything comes crashing down, though, on
the night that one of the girls disappears.
They're meeting with some of their friends at the local fair.
This is where one of the twins vanishes without a trace. Not
only does she disappear, but the remaining twin can't seem
to get anyone to take her seriously. She knows that
something is seriously wrong because she and her twin share
a psychic bond. They know when each other is in trouble.
The remaining twin suddenly can't feel or sense her sister,
but she starts to exhibit a terrible head wound as well as
black eyes and other injuries that just appear. She knows
that her sister is suffering the injuries and that's why she
is showing the symptoms of them. It is clear to her that her
twin has been kidnapped and is being horribly hurt and
mistreated.
Even as she looks for her sister, she can feel that time is
running out. As she searches for her twin, she finds out
many things that were being hidden from her. So many secrets
start to crop up seeming to block her progress.
Will she find her twin in time to save her?
The answers to all the questions come out in the end along
with spooky twists and turns along the way.
BEAUTIFUL LIES is a book that grabs you from the very first
page and takes you on one of the most thrilling rides of
your life. You'll find the perfect blend of suspense and the
supernatural that will stay with you long after the book
ends. For those that love a great mystery, you can't miss
with BEAUTIFUL LIES.
SUMMARY
Rachel and Alice are an extremely rare kind of identical
twins—so identical that even their aunt and uncle, whom
they’ve lived with since their parents passed away, can’t
tell them apart. But the sisters are connected in a way that
goes well beyond their surfaces: when one experiences pain,
the other exhibits the exact same signs of distress. So when
one twin mysteriously disappears, the other immediately
knows something is wrong—especially when she starts
experiencing serious physical traumas, despite the fact that
nobody has touched her. As the search commences to find her
sister, the twin left behind must rely on their intense bond
to uncover the truth. But is there anyone around her she can
trust, when everyone could be a suspect? And ultimately, can
she even trust herself? Master storyteller Jessica Warman
will keep readers guessing when everything they see—and
everything they are told—suddenly becomes unreliable in this
page-turning literary thriller.
