Books On Our Radar: This Darkness Mine
by Mindy McGinnis
This Darkness Mine by Mindy McGinnis is officially a must read for me. It sounds like a brilliantly, dark mystery about when one thinks they are on the perfect path in life. But then suddenly runs into a road block. Seemingly, to knock us down a peg and make us question why the choices we make and how they affect our futures. Throw in a very mysterious situation of losing time and gaining memories that aren’t exactly hers, all surrounding the gorgeous bad boy in school. SIGN ME UP! Plus, I still can’t stop thinking about her previous contemporary The Female of the Species, so it is no surprise that I am definitely adding it to my TBR and counting down the days till This Darkness Mine releases on October 10th, 2017!

Sasha Stone knows her place—first-chair clarinet, top of her class, and at the side of her oxford-wearing boyfriend. She’s worked her entire life to ensure that her path to Oberlin Conservatory as a star musician is perfectly paved.
But suddenly there’s a fork in the road, in the shape of Isaac Harver. Her body shifts toward him when he walks by, her skin misses his touch even though she’s never known it, and she relishes the smell of him—smoke, beer, and trouble—all the things she’s avoided to get where she is. Even worse, every time he’s near Sasha, her heart stops, literally. Why does he know her so well—too well—and she doesn’t know him at all?
Sasha discovers that her by-the-book life began by ending another’s: the twin sister she absorbed in the womb. But that doesn’t explain the gaps of missing time in her practice schedule or the memories she has of things she certainly never did with Isaac. As Sasha loses her much-cherished control, her life—and heart—become more entangled with Isaac. Armed with the knowledge that her heart might not be hers alone, Sasha must decide what she’s willing to do—and who she’s willing to hurt—to take it back.
Edgar Award–winning author Mindy McGinnis delivers a dark and gripping psychological thriller about a girl at war with herself, and what it really means to be good or bad.
I LOVE that cover, and I am so interested in reading basically anything that Mindy writes. Great feature!
