Description
In this suspenseful, gripping novel, teen twin girls raised separately meet for the first time at their mother’s funeral. Quinn has been trained to never tell a lie. Piper is a practiced liar. Narrated in both voices, the story of their quest to learn truths that have been concealed from them is shadowed by a dark spell that beckons them to run at night with a pack of murdering ghost hounds. Suspense, menace, mystery, witchcraft, family secrets, mistaken identity, and romance are interwoven in a brilliantly written page-turner that will grab and thrill teen readers.
As the sisters untangle a web of secrets, they must confront a terrifying question: what happens when the only person who shares your face is the one you can least trust?
- Secret Twin Sister: Raised apart, one in a world of truth and the other in a web of lies, Quinn and Piper meet over their mother’s coffin and are thrown into a life neither of them was prepared for.
- Atmospheric English Setting: From the rainy streets of Winchester to the misty, haunted landscape of Dartmoor, the mystery of their family is tied to the ancient, brooding moors.
- Witchcraft and Curses: A dark family legacy of witchcraft surfaces, binding the sisters to a curse that neither of them understands but both of them fear.
- Supernatural Thriller: A terrifying pack of ghost hounds hunts them in the night, forcing the twins to run together even as they are pulled apart by suspicion and deceit.
