Secrets Between Us by Valerie Keogh

3/5⭐⭐⭐ Genre: Mystery, Thriller

My Review: This was my first time reading a book by the author I recieved a copy via Net Galley. I did pick it up a few times and stopped while other books caught my attention more. This seemed like a predictable read one that wasn’t grabbing my attention, then one day it just really drew me in and I ended up finishing it in two days.

Ellie & Will are a happily married couple who are not able to have children. Ellie has a twin sister Tia who has been living in a assisted living home. The two sister’s are quite estranged until one day Ellie gets a call that Tia is no longer able to stay at the facility she calls home the only solution is for her to live with Ellie & Will.

As Ellie discusses her sister’s situation with Will explaining why she lives in a facility. Will finds it quite strange that he had no clue his wife even has a twin sister. Ellie has as strange need to have a separate her life far from Tia. Something is just not right about the twins relationship.

The the plot goes back and forth you think you know where it’s headed then you doubt your thoughts but it ends just as you think.

For me this book was like a lifetime movie. Every once in a while I just need a good lifetime movie my life. This book will definitely give you a lifetime movie fix. If you’re in the mood for that type of read I think this is one of those books you’ll devour quickly.

Blurb: How safe are your secrets?

One letter a week for fifteen years. 780 identical white envelopes brimming with my sister’s darkest secrets. All the intimate details of a life as different to mine as could possibly be.

I read each letter slowly to make sure I understand it perfectly, one day very soon it will be a matter of life and death…

At the end of each letter, after signing her name, there is always one final sentence:

Don’t forget to burn this letter.

I’ll let you decide if I do…

A jaw-dropping psychological thriller that you will read in one sitting. If you loved dark, twisty thrillers like The Girl on The Train, The Couple Next Door and Friend Request, this unputdownable novel will have your heart racing long after you’ve finished reading.
