A very interesting concept about an angsty surviving twin who suspects the twin everyone thinks is dead might be alive, and the struggles one goes through to find a (presumed dead) loved one. The concept alone is gripping, and the relationship the two brothers have also gets more an more interesting as the series would go on. It's a fine read, but it's also trying REALLLLLY hard not to be ERASED, as the mystery our protagonist tries to solved is handled with fists slightly more than careful planning and strategy. Definitely feels like it's trying to be darker and edgier than ERASED considering that the protagonist is in high school instead of elementary school, but in trying to be darker and edgier, it's really what they do with the concept and how they handle the main character's trauma reading, rather than the events that actually occur in the story...

Dark mystery, curious to see what the next volume holds. ( )

I picked this up because I enjoyed the author's Erased. Like that series, there is a splash of the supernatural, a lot of crime thriller, and some real predictable but still interesting twists. Unfortunately, the protagonist this time is a bit less likeable as traumatic events in his past have left him a dark and morally compromised figure. It's good enough to give the next couple volumes a go at least. ( )
