The Spare - Part One
(The Kings & Queens of St Augustus #1)
by
Blurb:
A will. The last wishes of a dead man shouldn’t have had the power to change all of our lives.
But a family fortune can test even the bonds of identical twins.
Now there’s him, the perfect bad boy who hates us all.
My sister wants him, but he wants me.
With billions of dollars at stake, no one is going to come out unscathed.

Review:
Money can buy everything except love, but love doesn’t always come for free.
Tallulah is the younger twin. Identical to Carrigan in everyday except her eyes. Unfortunately her life doesn’t match. Carrigan is popular and has a perfect image. Tallulah is the spare. The one to help her keep her perfect image.
In a world where being rich is everything, the Archibald family have to live by the terms of a will to inherit their money. Carrigan must be the perfect model of society. Her schoolwork must be maintained. Her place in society must be maintained. The only thing she doesn’t need is a good relationship with Tallulah.
Arlo is rich and privileged. He doesn’t want to marry for status. His dad wants a connection to the Archibald family but that doesn’t mean Arlo is going to play by the rules. He sees a ghost, a person who isn’t supposed to be seen and he see his way out of a life he doesn’t want.
This has a dystopian world feel to it. Money is everything and power comes from connections. To survive sacrifices need to be made. This does end on a cliffhanger but I loved every minute.
