A great fast past page turner of a book. Get to see the POV's of the Twins in the psychological thriller, with multiple timelines being revealed alongside the present day story. Dark secrets are revealed as the characters develop, giving the book some great twists and turns in the plot.
Brilliant thriller what a thrilling fast paced edge of your seat read it kept guessing right until the end this is definitely worth a read
This book was full of twists and turns, and keeps the reader guessing until the very end. Recommended for anyone who loves a read that keeps on surprising you.
Ooh this was a clever novel! The author was able to change how I felt about the characters regularly and I just thought it was exceptional!
This is a good story, that is cleverly written.
The author was very good at keeping the momentum of the story moving and building up the tension.
If you enjoy family suspense thrillers, you will like this.
I’m on a roll with superb books this holiday and this was another to add to the list.
Easy to read, fast paced and with twists that I couldn’t predict.
I’ve been struggling to keep attention with thrillers but this one has me gripped throughout.
A definite auto buy author for me now.
Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book
Oof this book is good. I love the difference between the two twins Cora and Margo and the story was fast paced and had me guessing thought what next twist or turn came...it was fantastic.
I enjoyed the unpredictably of this title, with a storyline which I kept trying to work out where it was heading - without success! It was a fast paced, quick read and one that I'd highly recommend. The twist at the end was one of the best I've read.
Many thanks to Welbeck Publishing UK and NetGalley UK for the review copy.
Loved this book I really enjoyed the Prank so was really thrilled to get this one . It did not disappoint it was an enjoyable refreshing read definitely a page turner so a quick read as you want to know what’s next . A great read
I thought I had reviewed this as I read the ARC a while ago but it appears that I didn't.
This plot is twisty and full of surprises. The twins who are chalk and cheese. Margo the live in nanny and Cora the wild dancer. And a dark secret from the past that threatens to explode.
Its hard to review without giving to much of the plot but if you love twisty thrillers then this is for you.
With a guessable plot this book was an ok read, a fast paced one.
This was a read now on NG - thanks to the publisher and NG!
This is such a clever book! I absolutely loved the storyline of the twins. Wasn’t a predictable thriller and the twist at the end was amazing! I will be reading all of this authors work now
I really struggled with this one , I just couldn’t get into it. It was so slow, the storyline just didn’t grip me at all.

This book would have gotten a higher rating if it weren't for the fact that I read another book which had the exact plot of this, that book also had twins and the 'twist' was the exact same as this. From abt 1/2 way into the book I knew that the thing which happened in the other book was gonna happen here and it did. Im not saying the author copied the other book coz the two books were pub at the same time. But I was pissed off coz I knew what was gonna happen. But I feel like this book was done better! And the ending almost made me cry.
I got late to post the review for this because there was a problem with the netgalley copy and it wasn't getting sent to the kindle, and I had no way of downloading the netgalley app so I had to wait until the book was published to get a copy and review it.
I adore Liv, I was so excited to get my hands on this one and squealed when this one dropped. Instantly I knew, I needed to drop everything and get stuck in.
I have been completely unwilling to put this one down. It is dark and filled with twists that you don’t expect. Matthews hasn’t disappointed with this gem.
This has been unpredictable and I can safely say I’ve been captivated. I found myself unwilling to put this down, to the point I’ve given a Death Stare to anyone that has attempted to interrupt. Matthews has a superb writing style and this compulsive read has been one that I have been kept guessing by throughout.
Margo has been an interesting character, one I’ve felt needs to deal with her trauma in order to understand the truth. I have loved everything about this book! Matthews is high on the list of favourite female authors and I cannot wait for the next book already. I know it will be fantastic.
I cannot say anything negative about this one. It’s definitely one for the TBR.
WHAT A TWIST! I loved this dark thriller that perfectly sums up obsession, family secrets and sibling rivalry. I will certainly be reading this author's other novels. She is a real talent to watch. The ending still gives me chills!
Absolutely amazing! Fantastic story, beautifully written..Not that I'd expect anything less from the fantastic LV Matthew's.
This is such a gripping read! My interest was hel throughout
I didn’t trust any of the characters, whilst I throughly enjoyed ‘hating’ them, I loved finding out why I did
A dark and twisted read, you need to add this to your tbr
Oh. My. Gosh!! This book has left me speechless and being a big crime/thriller lover, it takes a lot for a book to do that.
I absolutely loved @lvmatthews debut, The Prank, so I was super excited to be asked to take part in the book tour for The Twins. This book is unputdownable and it literally consumed me until I had finished it; I just could not stop reading it!
The Twins are Margo and Cora and despite being identical, they are world’s apart! Margo; a quiet, well mannered, nurturing nanny. Cora; a wild, spontaneous, party girl dancer. Both have locked their past away but the secrets slowly start to unravel, it becomes clear that only one twin can survive!
Liv writes the twins brilliantly, switching between the two through out the book. She is a master at character writing, creating these brilliant, deep and dynamic girls who are just so utterly different! Whilst part of me connected with Margo more, I loved the wild side of Cora and so looked forward to her chapters. How she created this complex and intense relationships between the sisters was spot on and really made for great reading.
As for the plot, well it completely blew me away!! I won’t say much for fear of spoilers but this took some brilliant masterminding from Liv herself and it certainly packed a punch. I did not expect the ending at all and loved the originality and ingenious shown!
I can’t sing this books praises enough and certainly will be recommending it to everyone. Amazing work @lvmatthews - you totally smashed it out of the park!
The Prank was one of my favourite thrillers of last year so I was so excited to read The Twins. This book is even more dark, intense and has even more twists! You will not be disappointed!
Twin sisters Margo a nanny and Cora a dancer are not your stereotypical twins. Margo nannies in Kensington and lives a more than comfortable life. She adores the twins in her care, her life is orderly and controlled which is helped by the pills that she takes.
Meanwhile Cora is a struggling dancer, down on her luck, finding it difficult to make ends meet and shares a flat with her friend Nav. Her luck changes when she lands the lead in Mirror, Mirror, a role she was born to play. The only constant connection Cora and Margo now share is their sister Annie.
What happened to her? What secrets are in their past? Why are they haunted by their childhood?
This book is character driven and is filled with obsession, dark secrets, family relationships and trauma. It’s fast paced and fantastically twisty! A story that will stay with you long after the last page!
