One of Us Knows by Alyssa Cole

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Kenetria has been diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder and after being dormant for 6 years she wakes up to find one of her alters accepted a job at a castle on an isolated Hudson River Island. Not wanting to ruin anything she moves forward with the job but upon arrival to the island she quickly finds out the job isn’t what they were expecting.

I honestly had no idea what to expect from this book, I just knew I wanted to give a thriller a try but was low key scared at the same time because I hate thriller and horror movies especially with ghosts. But I then thought it won’t be that bad reading it. Well, I walked around jumpy for a few days and endured my husband making fun of me for it just to make it through this book, but it did not disappoint.

I listened to the audiobook while working and quickly determined this book needed my full attention because there was so much going on between Ken’s alters and the creepy remote castle on the island. When Celeste told Ken she needed to leave the island I found myself yelling at the book like I do any black person on a thriller movie…like get your black a** back on that boat sis. I would of swam off that Island if I had to. But anyway, I enjoyed how the story unfolded and could not seem to stop listening despite how scared I was the entire time.

I have been putting off reading When No One Is Watching but quickly went to request the audiobook when I finished this one because Alyssa Cole has me hooked now. If you are in the mood for something a little different, I highly recommend this book. You will have to allow yourself to get lost in this book because it can get a little confusing with all of Ken’s alters. I quickly got used to all the characters and found myself being entertained while on edge trying to wait for the story to unfold.
