Doppelganger: an apparition or double of a living person.

Citrus Leahy is having a really bad day. She's late to school, but that's not the really bad part of her day. When she goes to class she looks in and sees that she is already there! And she's not the only one who has a body double - her crush, Aedan, also has one. What's going on? That's what Citrus intends to find out.

I loved the premise of this book, and the book lived up to my expectations for the most part. Citrus's mental monologues are a bit annoying, but if you can get past that, you will really enjoy this book. It does end with a cliffhanger, but it is a good introduction to the series. I look forward to reading book #2.

I recommend this book to my fellow fantasy lovers out there.

4/5 stars.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review, thank you!

Citrus is already having a bad day, but things take a turn for the worst when she see's herself, already in class, making her History test. She's got a doppelganger...

I think this book would work better for teens a bit younger than YA, as the writing and story seem a bit too childish for YA. There's a lot of repetition, mostly at the beginning of the story. Citrus repeats over and over who her crush is and what nickname she dislikes. (and this while the world may come to an end!) Also, the main characters make some very illogical decisions. Like, it's so important I tell you this now, but I can't speak while we're driving. But as the characters are sixteen, I guess it's meant as a YA after all.

My biggest problem with this book however is that we don't get to know anything really. It's very short, on my eReader it was only 130 pages, but there's going to be a sequel! Why not just make it a bigger book. The ending was quite abrupt, and not a single question as to why the Doppelgangers are here is answered... I'm always a bit disappointed if I'll have to buy another book to find out, especially as I don't really care for the characters and their childish/stupid decisions while faced with Doppelgangers.

Ms. Harris pens "Doppelgangers" a total page turner that keeps you reading right from the beginning. I loved the way the book had all elements of humor, adventure, suspense and mystery and had a really hard time putting it down. Beware the ending is a real cliff hanger that you wish wouldn't end. Highly recommended for all paranormal fans! ( )
