​ Title: Where You End Author: Abbott Kahler Expected Publication: January 16,2024  Publisher: Macmillan Audio Genre: Thriller, Mystery, Horror  Pages: 336 pages  Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review:  I went into this book blind and I am glad that I did. Kat had an accident and when she finally wakes up from her accident she sees her mirror image Jude (Her twin). Kat does not remember anything and relies on Jude to tell her about her past and who she was. However, Kat begins to believe that Jude is not quite as truthful as she originally thought.  Kat begins spiraling to discover her past and goes into a cult society to discover what happened to her and try to regain her memories. Jude must save Kat from the past and save herself from all the threats of the past.  This story was increasingly creepy and good however, this book did take a bit of time to become invested in and then also it was kind of confusing with the jumping timeline but towards the end, it all came in...
