Aoife Carmichael is just a regular girl. Shy and a bit of an
introvert, but she’s just met the man of her dreams. All this changes when she
takes a hallucinogenic drug at a party. The cup of spiked herbal tea ensures
that her life will never be the same again.
This story is all about Aoife and finding her inner self, her
dark side or her evil self, whichever way this experience can be described. Her
dark side takes complete control over her life after she persuaded Aoife to swap
places with her. Aoife is locked inside of her own head with no way out. She can
only watch helplessly while her dark side completely destroys everyone she cares
for and loves.
Aoife’s best friend and roommate Sarah, senses something is
wrong with Aoife. But Aoife seduces her and Sarah falls in love with her.
Unfortunately, Aoife’s dark side has plans for Sarah.
Will Aoife be able to get rid of her other self? Will she be
able to get her life back before it’s been totally destroyed by her evil side.
Or is Aoife trapped, locked inside herself forever?
On the whole, this is an exciting and emotionally charged
psychological thriller. A book along the lines of Jekyll and Hyde. The main
characters are multi-faceted and fully formed. They are bolstered by a cast of
well written secondary characters that enhanced the story and progressed it
along. There are lots of ups and downs throughout, making this book a roller
coaster ride.
There was one thing that spoilt this book for me quite early
on. What I thought was totally a lesbian fiction book, has graphic hetero sex in
it. Although I skipped over it, I spent the rest of the book dreading more such
scenes cropping up.
For anyone liking a good psychological thriller with a twist,
this is a good book to read. Angela Peach has really got into the mind of Aoife
and her evil side.
