3.0

Twice Lived by Joma West is a really interesting story focused on two main characters–Canna and Lily. Who are actually the same person as they are a shifter but they, unlike many other shifters in this AU, feel like two different people shifting between two different worlds. I did feel like it took a little while to get into the story, you get some of the background through the mothers attending support groups for parents of shifters. It's a really interesting idea once you get the gist of it but it does take some time. I also found the ending reaaally compelling and worth the slow start. Highly recommend! 

Thank you to NetGalley and Tor Publishing for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!
