The Other Sister: A Dark and Suspenseful Thriller of Sisters, Secrets and a Deadly Switched Identity by Jessica R. PatchMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
Rating 4.5
Truth hidden in darkness always comes to light, and secrets with it. Sins always find you out.
The first person POV created a dark, thrilling atmosphere throughout the story and linked in to the third person POV in a way that made this reader think she had it all figured out, until the author revealed she had some few unexpected revelations up her writing sleeve.
Charlotte’s longing for a family was easy to understand and I found that I was rooting for her to fit into her sister’s life and use this opportunity to make better choices. The darkness and secrets involved in this life made me hope that she will just survive!
I really thought I had the ending figured out, but was glad to be proven totally wrong. Not a lot of authors manage to blindside me mainly because I read so many mystery/suspense stories.
There was an open-ended twist, so not sure yet if I want a sequel to get closure, or am happy being left to make up my own ending.

About the book:
She thought she was the only one lying about her identity. Until she stepped into her sister’s life.
Charlotte Kane has always dreamed of a different life, one where she isn’t living paycheck to paycheck. An existence worlds away from the chaos of her own. Then her estranged mother dies, and Charlotte makes a stunning discovery—she has an identical twin who was given up for adoption.
Acelynn Benedict is polished, successful and seems to have everything Charlotte yearns for—a wealthy, doting family in Savannah, a handsome boyfriend, a great career. She’s just as surprised as Charlotte to learn she has a sister. But when tragedy hits and Charlotte is forced to assume Acelynn’s identity in a desperate moment, she uncovers something altogether darker…
No one in her sister’s life is quite who they seem to be. And every discovery leads Charlotte deeper into a web of deadly secrets. Charlotte may have wanted Acelynn’s life, yet now that she’s living it, she wants out. But if she reveals the truth about herself, it will mean returning to her old life—and she’s already a dead woman there.
