The Stranger in the Mirror by Liv Constantine

Hello everyone.  I hope you're having the best day!

Years ago we were watching some program about people being abducted by aliens.  One man, with some crazy Spock like eyebrows (if that isn't ironic) said he was taken to an alien ship and when he came back he remembered nothing.  He told the interviewer he was not suffering from amnesia but "double amnesia".  This sweet man gave us quite a chuckle and we've remembered his unusual statement.  In fact, it drives my family bonkers when playing Taboo, hubby just says the word "double" and I will respond with "amnesia".

I recently read The Stanger in the Mirror by Liv Constantine.  The author is actually a pen name for two writer sisters, Lynne and Valerie.  I applaud their patience working together. My sisters and I would be in jail as someone wouldn't come out alive. Apparently, the Constantine sisters have a great system going. The Stranger in the Mirror is about Addison, who is about to marry Gabriel.  While both are happy and in love, Addison is worried as she has amnesia.  She has been Addison for just two years and cannot remember her life before that time.  She is afraid she has done something bad, or could have another family and is desperate to not hurt Gabriel.  While he is concerned about what caused Addison to forget her whole life, he is willing to put it behind them and concentrate just on their future.  Hours away, Julian is trying to figure out what happened to his wife, Cassandra.  Naturally, these lives come together like some awkwardly fitting jigsaw puzzle, where you trying to pound pieces to make them fit.  The writing is clean and easy to read. The story moves quickly and confidently.  The twists come often, some you can guess, others are a complete surprise.  This book will make you pay attention to details, have you proclaiming "I knew it" one minute then "Oh my gosh" the next.  It is a wild ride and every bit a thriller. 

Sometime, remind me to tell you about the agreement my siblings have about a late night call and the phrase "bring the shovel."  It's probably best if hubby isn't around.
