After surviving a cult, rebuilding her life and finding a small amount of success Jessica Williams's life falls apart. As a way to get some distance and some perspective she decides to take a vacation to Puerta Vallarta. While at the airport bar she meets a second Jessica Williams and start chatting a bit playing "Jessica Williams 20 questions." After enjoying the coincidence and each other's company for a bit our heroine, Jessica one, goes on her way to enjoy a much needed vacation totally unplugged. When she arrives home she discovers that she has been robbed, all of her bank accounts have been cleared out. Realizing what happened Jessica decides that since the police won't help she will have to track down this criminal and get her money back herself. So begins this suspenseful tale.

I liked a lot of this book the cover, the title, the story idea captured me right away! I thought that this cult, suspense novel sounded absolutely fascinating and I couldn't wait to see how things unfolded. I loved the aspect of many people with the same name. I thought that was such a unique idea for the jumping off point for a story, something I haven't seen before and I really appreciated that uniqueness. It terrified me in a great way cause I have one of the most common names for women so it made me think what if? And I love when a book can get under my skin like that!

In general the book wasn't for me, I felt that there was too much story in both areas, the cult aspect and the present day part. I wanted more from each and not in a way of it was so good I need more but more like I got pulled out of the story by the switching back and forth because there were too many questions and not enough answers for me. I also felt that the book was a strangely over descriptive in awkward areas and left me questioning things in others. By the time all the reveals started happening I was a little bored because things had been going on for so long that I honestly wasn't surprised when certain things came to light.

All in all this just didn't work for me but I think that the author has a truly fascinating mind and am looking forward to reading more from her to see if I can find a groove with her writing. The book gets three stars from me mainly because of the uniqueness of the idea behind the story.

When I first started reading this book I wasn't exactly sure what to expect because I had never read a book about cults or the type of living environment of a cult. Of course, I had watched many TV shows alluding to people living in cults and sometime in the news cults were mentioned but reading this book really helped open my eyes to the plight of the children in these cults. From start to finish this book had me in its grasp because I couldn't wait to find out whether or not Jessica was going to be triumphant in her quest to find Justice for herself and for the other Jessicas that she met along the way. The expert riding and the plot West throughout the book were so well devised that it took me awhile to figure out exactly who the bad person was in this book. The best type of book I must add. The ending is to die for! Literally! I did not see that coming at all! And what I am even more grateful for is that the ending was explained in such a perfect way that I had no questions left to wonder about when I was done reading this fantastic book. I am totally recommending this book to all my friends and it will be our next book featured in our book club!

Catherine McKenzie never fails her books draw me in from the first pages keep me up late into the night reading This book had so any twists and turns kept me guessing till the last pageHighly reckoned thisadall her books #netgalley#lakeunionpublishing,

So excited for my 10th book to be out there in the world!! Imagine if you met another woman with the exact same name and birthday as you. What would you do? How would you feel? Would you open up to her? She's you after all. And then, if it turned out it was all a scam - would you try to solve the mystery? Let the games begin...

Catherine McKenzie did it again! Definitely a 5+ star read. I couldnt put this down, and the ending?!?! What? I am tempted to re-read this right away to see if I missed any clues. I think this may be her best book yet....even though I say that about all of her books. They just keep getting better and better.

Thanks to netgalley for the ARC.

It’s been over a decade since Jessica Williams was rescued from a cult. After intensive counseling and a lot of press coverage, she was able to move on. Then one day she meets a woman who not only bears her name, but also her birth date. Strange, but Jessica things nothing more about it until her identity is stolen along with all her money. Not willing to sit back and hope that law enforcement might catch the crook, Jessica begins to look for others like herself, each robbed of their identity and finances. But she’s playing games with a highly experienced criminal, someone with links to Jessica’s own past, and it turns out there are worse things to lose than your bank account
