Someone Like Me

“A first-rate, superbly paced paranormal thriller” about a divorced mother who faces the darkest parts of herself (New York Times).

Liz Kendall wouldn't hurt a fly. Even when times get tough, she's devoted to bringing up her two kids in a loving home. 

But there's another side to Liz—one that's dark and malicious. She will do anything to get her way, no matter how extreme.

And when this other side of her takes control, the consequences are devastating.

Love her or hate her: there are two sides to every story . . .
