First Born by Will Dean
4.0
This is a hard book to review. I loved it, but I also didn't like it, so it really could be anywhere from 2-4 stars for me.
One of my favourite childhood books was "Twins" by Caroline B. Cooney, and the description of this book sounded similar, so I was eager to read it! Especially because I loved Will Dean's last book "The Last Thing to Burn"!
There are some twists that I definitely did NOT see coming (not even close!)!! The main two things that bothered me was that the motive and reasoning for what was going on was kind of weak, and not explained all that well. Also, the plot is just a step over the line of believability.
That being said, if you can suspend your belief a little bit and just go with the story, it's a great read! I will definitely be reading more of Will Dean's work!
Sidenote: The Katie/KT thing got on my nerves - just use her normal name!
