Can you drop the link for that audiobooks t-shirt? I am obsessed! Also, I read The Mother and I had a hard time with it. The MC was challenging for me & I didn't like how rushed the ending was. However, I was PROPERLY creeped out about the obsessive emphasis on making women's entire lives about becoming mothers.

I haven’t read Hide but I did read The dark descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein from the same author. It was fine, however it did feel a bit juvenile for me and given the subject matter (emotionally abusive relationship) it could’ve been handled much better. Maybe she’s just better at writing YA? I don’t know but wouldn’t recommend TDDOEF.

Sorry Will Dean didn’t work out for you. I have not read twin trope books before so not as familiar. He has written a series of mysteries that feature a deaf journalist Tuva Moodyson set in Sweden. Been four so far Uncertain if they are as well known in USA but Scandinavian Noir is very popular in U.K. and even though he is a Brit he captures the essence of the sub genre
