Under My Skin by Jo-Anne Joseph Release Review

Title: Under My Skin

Many know me, yet non have seen my face. I’m the topic of conversation, but nobody knows my name. I’m a life thief. A soul destroyer. An invisible plague. And still, you want to know me. Because my darkness reminds you of the desires that lurk within you.

Oh wow, I am going to go ahead and warn you that this book is dark and twisty. This might hold some triggers for some readers so I thought you needed to be aware of this. This is the story of sister’s Miranda and Maureen and Flynn and his brother Trevor. These are some really complex characters as you have Flynn who is a priest. Miranda is younger than Maureen and Flynn but she also is a girl who does not talk at all. She has taken a vow not to and really tries her best to live her life sinless. Maureen is Flynn’s wife or she tries to be, but she never wants to have babies and she certainly didn’t want to be a preacher’s wife but I must say she tries her best to play the part really well when she is around other people. Miranda is the one that is really good and she just always ever wanted to be in her own apartment and have a job she loves and that happens at the community service but she also dedicates a lot of her time to the church too. Anything to be around Flynn. You see she met Flynn as a little girl and over time fell in love with him and so did Maureen. This is maybe the crux of it all. These poor girls had a terrible mother and while Maureen knew her dad Miranda never did. Their mom though is a drug addict and drunk and really isn’t a mother to either one of them. I couldn’t stand anytime she opened her mouth. I just really wanted to smack her. I’m going to let you figure out who Treavor is all on your own. I also feel like I have said enough about the book. I don’t want to give anything away about the rest of it. I will say that this is a twisted love triangle for sure and it even maybe expands beyond that. You will fall in love with some characters and some you want but about the entire time you’re going to be trying to figure out just exactly who is the serial killer running around. I loved it, devoured it and could have kept reading this messed up story for a long time.
