The Divided Twin by M. Billiter Release Announcement!

I gotta call out one of my personal favorites, M. Billiter who just released the second installment in her Divided Series, The Divided Twin on Saturday!

Take a look today! The Kindle copies are $.99 and $2.99, so really not a budget breaker. I love these books and I hope you will too!

Seriously, if you have the time, work this in as well as the first installment, A Divided Mind. It's a heartfelt story that follows a family afflicted by strong psychosis issues and it's beautifully written because it's based on her own son's experience.

The Divided Twin

A BookBud Review

By M. Billiter and Kyle Thomas

Finished 04-01-2020

Genre: Contemporary/Mental Health

Basic Plot: Branson has been doing better, Trevor’s voice has seemed to dissipate and he’s really doing alright now, as far as we know. Aaron and Branson are in college now, seniors actually, and both are dealing with some very dark times in there own rights. The divides are growing harsher and these twins need to come together to overpower all the demons, whatever they may be. 

Notable Quote(s): 

“Everyone has a voice in their head. Mine was just a little louder.” 

“I knew it didn’t help me or anyone if I bullshitted my way through this and gave the expected answer. But there were still some truths I just wasn’t ready to face, let alone voice.”

“Home. I didn’t even know where that was anymore.”

Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Readability: 5/5

Plot Interest: 5/5

Creativity: 4/5

I just want to start off by thanking M. Billiter for sending me an advanced, autographed copy of The Divided Twin and for her and her sons ability to invest in this series and provide a very meaningful story. Also for their generosity in allowing me to read this long before it comes out on June 27th this year (Amazon is taking pre-orders now though, get a copy today!) Thanks again! 

I’m in awe. Let’s start with the plot itself. I found a nice balance here, some twists I expected but the results were highly unexpected. Overall, it was a very intriguing plot that never seemed to dull. With that, I have to give credit to the raw emotions portrayed in this work. It was devastating to say the least. It has so many components involved; fear, anxiety, anger, love, betrayal, devastation, you name the emotion, I’ll find a spot it was present in this book. Then there’s the relatable characters and issues. Mental health, family bonds, family divides. abuse, romance, it has literally everything and it all comes down to these twins. These amazing twin brothers and everything that’s given to us as readers in their relationship. I honestly can’t believe how amazing this book was still. 

I gave it an obvious 5 out of 5 and have literally nothing negative to say about it. The writing feels real, like someone sitting down and telling you about themselves. It’s so raw but stays so composed, I really don’t know how someone writes like this. Then there’s the additive of Kyle Thomas’s perspective that just really throws you into the trenches with him. It was immaculate. I loved every second of reading this and it literally made me cry.
