Two people sharing one body. What could possibly go wrong?

"My name is Josslyn and I'm a psychopath. Actually, that's not technically true ... let me explain."

Josslyn is a mild-mannered vet who prefers animals to people. Alicia is a ruthless and psychotic killer. But there’s a problem … They are the same person.

When Josslyn finds a clue as to who Alicia really is, she sets out on a mission to discover the truth and hopefully get rid of the psychopath in her head before she kills again.

However, Alicia has her own agenda and isn’t afraid to mess things up for Josslyn. She wants control of their body and won’t rest until she gets her way.

Someone is stalking them and clearly knows more about them than they do. Will Josslyn and Alicia ever be able to see eye to eye and work together to overcome adversity?

My Dark Self is the first book in the My ... Self series, a gripping thriller series with a massive twist ... the two main characters are one person. If you like fast-paced psychological thrillers with plenty of twists and turns and witty banter then you’ll love this dramatic series from Jessica Huntley.
