This book is a poignant and hauntingly beautiful story that explores the deep bond between siblings and the heartache of losing a loved one. From the very first page, I was drawn into the unique connection that James shared with her twin brother, Johnny. The author masterfully captures the raw emotions of grief and loneliness that James experiences when Johnny is tragically taken from her. The supernatural element of their bond adds a fascinating layer to the story, making it both intriguing and deeply moving.

Facing the ghosts of her past and reconnecting with Micah, the man she once loved, James navigates a path of healing and self-discovery. The story is filled with suspense, nostalgia, and heartfelt moments that keep readers engaged until the very end.
