rusticreadingal's review against another edition
4.0
Dead Ringer was great! It pulled me right in with a heart-pounding and intense beginning and kept me invested till the very last word. There was a lot of suspense and a good dose of romance. Exactly what I look for in this kind of book.
I really admired Emory's spunk and tenacity. She's just found out that she has a twin sister. Talk about a shock! Add to that the fact that her newly discovered sister has been abducted and is in serious danger, and you could say she's stressed to the max! But Emory doesn't let it get her down. She's got a sister to find and will do anything to make that happen.
There were a lot of characters from a previous series that I haven't read yet that popped up quite frequently here, so there were times where I definitely felt like I was missing something. And I found myself having a little trouble keeping all the characters straight, especially in the first half of the book. But other than that, I really enjoyed this romantic suspense and am eager to check out the rest of the series.

I can't say that I really enjoyed Dead Ringer, but I didn't hate it either. The ending was terrible and quite messy. The dialogue wasn't great or particularly realistic. I almost DNFed it several times, honestly the only thing that kept reading was that the plot seemed semi-interesting.
Basically, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone, but if you are in the mood for a cheesy, clean and semi-suspenseful read, don't let me hold you back.
