The Divided Mind (The Divided Series Book ) by M. Billiter – Review by Angela Shirley

A Divided Mind by M. Billiter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When you trust and confide in on the only person you believe you can truly trust to find out they may not even be real!

This book revolves around Brandon who is struggling with life, he has pressures and needs some sort of normal in life but when he reveals that he has been hearing voices in his head will his life be the same ever again.

I enjoyed the story and thought the author tackled the strong subject of the mental health aspect of the story really well. I loved the insight with in Brandon’s chapters on his struggles and how he truly understood himself and what he was dealing with. The sister character Carson was a refreshing extra as her straight talking and humour broke up the intense story.

I do have to say I loved the interaction between Aaron and Brandon and the twin bond really came through within the writing of this story but I do have to add that I did not warm to the mother character, Tara. I appreciate that this must be difficult for a parent but I couldn’t get over the woah am I drama she presents through the book.

All in all the book is well researched and brilliantly written I would say it is more of a competemary book so if you’re looking for a really gritty thriller this may not be the book for you, but I suggest if you are looking to open your mind and learn about the hard issues of mental health this is a great insight into that world.
