review

The Girl With Two Shadows is an emotional, gripping story about identity, trauma, and survival. I felt so much for Grace while reading. I honestly just wanted to hug her for everything she’s been through. Her pain felt real, and so did her strength. The plot twist surprised me and made everything feel more intense. Powerful, heavy, and unforgettable. Definitely one of those reads that really stays with you. Thank you so much to the author for the ARC

ladyintrovert21 emotional, gripping story

A Girl with Two Shadows was an impressive debut from indie author Sushma Magwin. This book dives deep into the lasting effects of lifelong trauma and carries a strong emotional weight throughout the story. While I wouldn’t necessarily call it a typical thriller, the mystery elements and unexpected twist genuinely caught me off guard. What stood out most to me was the pacing and character development. The story unfolds steadily, giving the characters room to feel layered and believable, which made the emotional moments hit even harder. Overall, this was a thoughtful, emotionally driven read with a twist I didn’t see coming, and I’m excited to see what this author writes next. Thank you so much to Sushma Magwin for the Arc . All thoughts are my own . The paperback officially releases June 9

Marilena EchoHawk impressive debut from indie author

ARC copy from Author The Girl With Two Shadows was a 4.75 ⭐️ read for me! This book is unlike anything ive ever read before, I found myself unable to put it down. Its a story told of trauma and survival, I really felt for grace as a survivor myself, her trauma felt real and was really impactful. This book was so unlike any other thrillers ive read, I had no idea where it was going (in the best way) and the plot twist only added to that. Thank you so much to the author Sushma Magwin for writing such a gripping book and letting me read it 😊🩷

Mili Its a 4.75 Star from me

I absolutely flew through this book. The combination of psychological trauma, missing memories, and the murder mystery had me hooked from the very beginning. Every time I thought I was starting to understand what was happening, another piece of the puzzle appeared and made me question everything again. Grace was a character I genuinely felt for. Her past was heartbreaking, and while some scenes were difficult to read, they added so much depth to her story. I found myself rooting for her and wanting answers just as much as she did. The story touches on some very heavy topics, so definitely check trigger warnings before reading. That said, if you enjoy psychological thrillers with unreliable narrators, dark secrets, and plenty of twists, this one is worth picking up. Thank you to the author for the ARC copy. ❤️

This book definitely kept me on my toes as the plot kept twisting but in a good way! From start to finish I was hooked and needed to know more!

I absolutely loved this book. I felt like it was a fast read, and I connected with the "main" character. I love the psychology matter that not too many people know about. D.I.D. also known as Multiple Personality Disorder. I studied this kind of mental illness in my high school, and I found it so interesting. What one event of trauma can do to the mind. I found myself knowing pretty early on that it was for sure a woman that has D.I.D. only because the brain and psychology is one of my favorite subjects to read and talk about. In the end, I felt so bad for the man character "Grace" and also felt for "Mia" as well. She finally found someone who could look all past the trauma and the multiple personalities that "Grace" was dealing with, and I loved that for her. I rated this a 4stars because the material and storyline were really written well, but I wish there was more. I wish that it was more descriptive (that might just be a personal choice). I would have loved more background and more diving in than the book went..maybe add a few triggers. All in all a SOLID storyline and so real and raw. Thank you again for the chance to read this before release. I asked on a whim on tik tok and so happy you took the chance with me! I absolutely love this.
