WOW what a fabulous psychological thriller. The author Jessica Patch has really outdone herself. The many twists and turns will keep you guessing. I definitely recommend this book.

Wow, this was a wild read, one that had me reading longer than I intended. The serpentine prose weaves in and out, making you wonder what's real and what's not. Jessica does a masterful job with character development and she packs a wallop with the secrets spilling out on the page. Plus she does a superb job handling of some pretty heavy topics and scenes with authenticity and taste. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys a suspenseful mystery wrapped up with a dose of southern comfort.

Wow. What a rush!

I’ll be transparent: I struggled with the book at first. This is probably the darkest a Patch novel has ever gone. And a few of the scenes early on gave me the willies.

But I’ve been reading books by Jessica R. Patch for close to a decade, and I know I can trust her. I know that the darker the tale, the brighter the light of hope and faith will shine.

Some readers don’t care for psychological dramas. And that’s okay. Every book is not for every person. But if you love thrillers and need the adrenaline rush without the ‘ick’, you have found a fabulous book here!

Charlotte felt like an unreliable narrator. Turns out she didn’t have all of the facts. There’s a thread that runs through the book that continually feels loose. But when that puppy connects and ties everything up—wow!

Oh, and it was nice to see Asa Kodiak very, very briefly (IYKYK).

So many twists and turns left me dizzy but longing to know what came next. And by the end I couldn’t read fast enough. Now I’m going to read it again because, now that I know everything, I can read without the knots in my stomach and the white knuckled grip on my Kindle!

I received an advance copy from the publisher. My review has not been solicited and can be trusted.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
INSANE! Oh my gosh Jessica R. Patch what have you done to my brain🫣 this novel was packed with so many twists and turns that each time you think you solved a mystery 2 more popped up. It had me on the edge of my seat freaking out, so many lines gave me goosebumps because I was that shocked by the plot twists. A powerful lesson for sure reminds me how it says in the Bible Matthew 7:15.( "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves".) There is deception, betrayal, manipulation, and dark secrets in this book, this needs to be a read for people who like psychological thrillers I was hooked I couldn’t put it down! As always thank you to Netgalley and Harlequin Love for an ARC of this book. Stay blessed everyone 😊🙏

Oh my goodness! This book! I have read many of Patch’s books and have loved them all. But this was a step behind the ready in creepy level and suspense. It was so thrilling I was worried I’d have nightmares. I didn’t, thankfully. But that’s how real the story felt.
The way we see into Charlotte’s inner thoughts and motivations really gives the reader insight that we don’t often have. I couldn’t stop reading because I had to know what would happen next.
Highly recommend!

I had enjoyed other thrillers from Jessica R. Patch and this book was no different. It worked in this genre perfectly and enjoyed the twists of this storyline, the characters were everything that I was expecting and was glad everything flowed to tell the story.

Wow! What a ride! So many twists and turns in this book!
In full disclosure it took me a couple chapters to get into this book but once I did I was hooked. The author writes about some very deep and somewhat dark topics but does it well.
What would it be like to be in someone else’s shoes. Is their life better than yours? What if those shoes have more problems and are even darker than yours?
So many questions , but a great story to find out the answers. Highly recommended

The Other Sister has more twists and turns than a bucking bronco! Jessica R. Patch has penned a thriller that stands out in the genre!

I love how drawn in to Charlotte's life I became - and yet I knew that something was off. I couldn't figure out what, exactly, and the further I got into the story, the deeper the web of deception became, and not just about Charlotte, but about her sister, too. The crime, lies, and unknowns make this a very dark story, and yet it's never overwhelming - Tillie's light, the detective's work, and the clear, hopeful truths that litter the pages keep that from happening.

The ending is awesome. While I never figured it all out exactly, it's the perfect ending for this story - and Patch makes it even better by turning that spotlight of truth up by dozens of megawatts at the end. I highlighted many of these and love how these quoteable truths bring the whole point home.

There is always light, no matter how dark it seems, and we always have the choice to turn to it, no matter how we feel. The Other Sister proves that clean, Christian stories have power. If you enjoy suspenseful thrillers, you need to read The Other Sister - just don't turn off the lights.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

The Other Sister is a chilling story about a woman’s struggle to make the right choices, even as everything around her spirals out of control.

Charlotte Kane is trying to rebuild her life when her estranged mother overdoses. While sorting through her mom’s meager belongings, Charlotte discovers a shocking secret—she has a twin sister who was adopted as a baby. After some digging through social media and the internet, Charlotte learns her sister has the life she has always dreamed of: wealth, security, and everything Charlotte has never had. Reaching out, she is thrilled when her sister welcomes her with open arms.

But things take a dark turn, plunging Charlotte into a series of tragic events that derail her plans and push her into a life-altering decision. Charlotte, to save herself, leaps into her sister‘s life and assumes her identity. Only when she gets to Savannah, things are not as they appear. Secrets abound in the wealthy population, secrets that might get Charlotte killed.

Jessica R. Patch’s The Other Sister is gripping, twisted, and impossible to put down. I was sucked into Charlotte‘s story, silently begging her to make better choices as I watched her already broken life spiral further into chaos. She wanted so badly to do the right thing, to move forward, but her decisions only pulled her deeper into the darkness.

The Other Sister kept me captivated until the last chapter. Well done, Jessica! What an unforgettable read!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Harlequin - Romance | Love Inspired Trade and Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I'm leaving a review because I think it's important that other readers know what to expect. At least as much as I read (which was about 20% of the way through). This book is marketed as Christian, but it's really really demonic. When talking about the child that's psychopathic, it's very dark and evil. For example, the demonic daughter is mean, and she not only hurts her younger sister (a baby) but when she gets close as if to kiss her sister's cheek, she actually bites her (and the book highlights the way the demonic child's teeth were red with blood). I closed the book right at that point because it was so shocking and unthinkable that I couldn't even imagine how this book could ever be considered Christian. There was no mention of God or Jesus, and even if there was, I'm concerned as to what context it would be presented by the author. I will definitely not be picking up another book from this author.

The Other Sister by Jessica R. Patch is a unique story. What if you could trade your life with a twin that you never knew existed? What would your life look like? What issues or joys would you find? Patch does a wonderful job at answering the questions. The suspense is pretty interesting and kept my attention. The Then chapters gave me the chills. What a horrible little girl. I kept trying to guess who she was in the regular chapters. Patch had me guessing to the very end. When she showed who it was, I was surprised, which takes a lot to do for me. She did a good job at keeping the actual villain a secret. Even at the end of the novel, there is another twist that I kind of figured out, but I needed Patch to show me. I really like her stories, and I hope she keeps writing them. Overall, The Other Sister by Jessica R. Patch thrilled this reader who LOVES to be surprised in a suspense book. This story definitely kept me engrossed the entire time. I can't wait to read her next book.

I received a complimentary copy of The Other Sister by Jessica R. Patch, but the opinions stated are all my own.

If you love thrillers that are dark, twisty, and with a bright light of hope at the end, "The Other Sister" by Jessica R. Patch is for you.

All I can really say about this book is WOW. Ms. Patch has definitely found her niche writing in this genre.

Wow. This was a mind trip of deceit, lies and truly chilling moments that left me guessing at every turn of the page. Jessica Patch has once again proven that she can expertly craft a sinister plot that twists and turns until literally the last page. This story kept me hooked! I truly didn’t know who to trust, what was real and what was a crafted illusion. Each flawed character fits like a puzzle piece into this dark and unpredictable plot and all comes together in the end for a shocking conclusion!

Y’all there are twists in this book that made my jaw drop! Everything you could want from a thriller while keeping it clean and adding a thread of hope. I loved every minute.

I received an advance reader copy from the publisher. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Dark and twisty, this book had me pulled in from the very beginning. Families with dark secrets and mysteries to be solved. Very good!

This book is extraordinary. It has quite literally blown my mind, and I am still thinking on it to this day. That doesn't happen very often. Especially when you're like me and read a ton of books. So, when I say that this book sticks with you, it sticks with you.

When you start to read this book just go ahead and clear your schedule. You're going to need to. I had to know what was going to happen next. It was almost like a complex. I could feel myself holding my breath at certain points and wanting to scream in the next. I loved it. There are so many angles and wrong turns that it becomes like this giant maze in your head, and you just keep trying to figure things out. Did I mention that I LOVED this book? I still cannot get over that ending.

I honestly do not want to say too much about it because I do not want to accidentally let the cat out of the bag and ruin all of the surprises in this book. Just pay attention to EVERYTHING and I do mean everything. Even if it seems like the smallest detail. Trust me on this.

This was a roller coaster ride, and I want to get back on lol.

Thanks to Net Galley, the publishers, and to Jessica R. Patch for the ability to read and review this book. All opinions are my own and are completely honest.

A dark, twisty psychological thriller that will have you reading long into the night! Complex characters with storylines of multiple forms of abuse, trauma, and mental illness keep the reader engaged and always trying to guess what is coming next. This story went directions I never saw coming and just when I thought I might have it figured out, another twist would catch me off guard demolishing my theory.

Jessica R. Patch absolutely outdid herself with this book! Her books never disappoint and I throughly enjoyed reading this one.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book by the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are completely my own.

This was by far the darkest book I’ve ever read. It’s the combination of a horror and an awful family full of secrets. To be honest, I hated it. From a demon child to a stalker to the very nasty, dreadful mess. I only continued reading to know what happened in the end. The only good thing I can say about this book is that it's unpredictable. But there were also certain things that didn’t seem wrapped up to me. One character just vanished at one point for no real reason. All the characters were difficult to keep up with and the amount of evil things that the Christian author piled into this book is honestly concerning. I’ve read books about fighting and death and evil, but this one to me hardly classifies as a Christian novel. God was mentioned 8 times in this horrible novel. With the content, He should have been mentioned a hundred times. I most certainly will not be reading this book again. And I may never read another book by this author. I probably should give this book one star, but I know how difficult it is to write a book so I added another just for her effort.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Harlequin Love for an ARC of this book. A real psychological thriller that was hard to put down. When I thought I might have something figured out there would be more twists and turns. Very suspenseful to the very end. I highly recommend reading this one. The opinion expressed is my own.

This is one of the rare books that grabbed me in the first few pages! Jessica Patch writes some really good thrillers and this was no exception. Lots of mystery and intrigue and complicated people. Will keep you turning the pages and staying up past your bedtime reading!
