Guilt
By amandarobson
Very well written and read audio book, story kept me interested from start to finish, plot was excellent.
Loved it. Had to keep reading. Not one boring moment
Zara and Miranda are twin sisters who are as close as close, until Sebastian comes on the scene and begins dating Zara. News flash…he is an asshole of highest order.
From page one we know that one of the sisters dies at the hand of the other but which one? And why??
This is the author’s second published book. I have read her debut novel Obsession and although this book has a very different feel to it both are the same, you just can’t put it down.
Non-identical twins Zara and Miranda have a very close relationship as expected with twins. Miranda is the smarter one and aced her way through school and is now working as an accountant. Zara is the more sociable and likeable one and couldn’t care less about academics but more inclined to art. Zara moved in with Miranda when she decided to change her life’s direction and went to art school. Miranda is the stronger one and Zara is more vulnerable, sensitive and has psychological issues. Everything changed when Zara met Sebastian, the man who will affect their lives forever.
This dark read grips you right from the start. Although this author’s writing style is a bit different than the others I’ve read, her storyline is always riveting. She has a knack for creating main characters that you love to hate, heroines that are tenacious and resilient, antagonists you would love to get your hands on and do some serious harm. Every chapter is like peeling an onion, each layer reveals the character’s vulnerability, darkness and motives. During the courtroom drama we get to meet Theo, another character in this tragic tale. Is he a good guy or a bad guy?
Written in alternating points of view of the three main characters switching from past to present, their inner thoughts draw you in and make you turn the page, dying to find out what happens next. I expected/wanted this book to be darker though and I must say that the epilogue was a bit anti-climactic for me. I wanted a wicked and twisted ending but maybe that’s just me. A great read for those who want something different from the usual romance novels.
Guilt is an interesting read, with a couple of details that also made it a difficult read.
The writing style Robson uses was hard to fall into. It’s a book of short and choppy chapters. 160 of them. Bouncing between three characters, past and present. Some chapters are not more than a sentence or two. Making it a difficult flow, but perhaps a quicker read.
The characters were all horrible, in my opinion. I wasn’t connected to any of them. Perhaps the short chapters hampered that. Perhaps it was the way they spoke, almost too formal to feel real.
Add in the situations that are quite intense…rape, suicide, self harm, murder…it was a rough read, all in all.
I found myself wanting to skim past way too much.

3 stars
I enjoyed this book. It had a lot of twists and turns throughout but the ending was a little of a let down for me.
Yeah!! Couldn’t put this down. Read it in two days.
This book has my attention immediately. I couldn’t put it down.
