Someone Like Me

By: M. R. Carey

Narrated by: Robin Miles

From the author of the million-copy best-selling The Girl with All the Gifts comes an extraordinary new psychological thriller with a twist you won't see coming....

There are two sides to every story....

Liz Kendall wouldn't hurt a fly. Even when times get tough, she's devoted to bringing up her kids in a loving home. But there's another side to Liz, one that's dark and malicious. An alter ego that will do anything to get her way - no matter how extreme. And when this other side of her takes control, the consequences are devastating.

Someone Like Me is the intoxicating new thriller from the phenomenal M. R. Carey. A modern take on the Jekyll and Hyde tale, think Gone Girl meets Stephen King - but you won't have heard anything quite like this before....

Critic reviews

"Spectacular!" (Martina Cole)

"An intense, haunting thriller with heart. You will not want to put this down." (Laini Taylor, New York Times best-selling author)

"As fresh as it is terrifying...a jewel." (Joss Whedon)

Just so awesome and clever

Just read it - its another brilliant approach to dysfunctionality in the area of domestic and emotional violence.

Slow but steady

I enjoyed this book very much. After reading all the comments I was a little bit skeptical, but I must admit that it was a good purchase. It is a slow story, but well written. Also the narrator is good. The only minus perhaps is that there is a lot of 'what', but 'why' is kind of missing.

Better than the girl with all the gifts.

M R Carey knocks it out of the park with this fantastic new work from the author of 'The girl with all the gifts', this one isbegging to be turned into a film, it really would be fantastic! the narration is excellent, the story well paced and gradually builds to a breathlessly thrilling conclusion. if I had one crtitism, I felt it dwelt a little too much on the anguish and feelings of helplessness of some of the characters, but this didn't spoil the book. I would say even for people who weren't the biggest fan of Carey's breakthrough novel (I wasn't) 'Someone like me' is definitely worth a credit.
