The book starts out with 2 different stories and then they meet each other and they figure out that Claire was missing for a year and Luke mom went missing the same day in the same town. They never found his mom and Claire missing for a year. They soon figure out that his mom was killed. But there question was how did Claire get out?

The Claire that didn’t die was really named Rachel. Her father and mom got a divorce and so he took one of the twins and called her Claire. At the end she finds her twin and gets the truth out of her dad. One of the themes in this book is lies will always come back to hurt you.  

One place this theme is apparent is when Claire figured out she wasn’t Claire. IN the book Claire started to Figure out that she wasn’t gone for a year. Her dad started to say that she was gone for a year and then all of a sudden appeared. But Claire was so smart and didn’t believe it and then he said she ran away and they were leaving and so they grabbed a girl that looked a lot like you and called her Claire. Claire didn’t believe that either. The truth was that Claire died and then they took one of the twins and called her Claire.

Another place this theme is apparent is when the police lied to Luke’s family that the bones weren’t his mom and they figured out they were. The police took one of the bones from 25 years ago and said that they weren’t her bones but they were. About a week later they figured out that they were hers and then they had a big funeral.

Another one is when Uncle Paul said he wasn’t the killer and he was. In the book he had secretly killed 3 people and almost 4. He killed Claire, Luke’s mom, and his girlfriend. He secretly took Claire away and was going to kill her but Luke and the police saved her. Luke saw Paul take her and then called the police. All along Paul was Claire’s step uncle he hated their  family he wanted to kill them all but he got caught.

The themes lies will always come back to hurt you. Has happened in my life to. I loved this book. My mom loved the book so she said I should read it and I’m glad I did. It was full of action and super intense.
