What if the person sharing your home didn’t just want your life, but wanted to become you?
Emily Hart thought finding a roommate would make life easier. A modest Boston apartment, a demanding career at the hospital, and a stranger named Allison Grant seemed like an ordinary arrangement. Allison was charming, attentive, and strangely eager to become Emily’s friend.
Then the imitation begins.
First, it’s harmless. Emily’s clothes. Her favorite music. Her habits. Her expressions.
Then Allison starts copying Emily’s handwriting, repeating private stories she was never told, wearing her jewelry, using her phone, and inserting herself into Emily’s relationships. Soon, messages Emily never sent begin appearing on her phone. Calls she never made damage her reputation at the hospital. Even her signature is being forged.
And Allison is getting better at being Emily.
As Emily’s friends and colleagues begin questioning her behavior, she finds herself trapped inside a nightmare where the truth is almost impossible to prove. The more she insists that Allison is impersonating her, the more unstable Emily appears.
Because Allison has discovered something terrifying:
If she can make everyone believe she is Emily, then Emily becomes the impostor.
Now Emily must uncover the truth before her roommate erases her identity completely. But when the boundaries between imitation and reality begin to collapse, Emily faces a horrifying question:
How do you defeat someone who doesn’t want to kill you, but wants to replace you?
Roommate’s Shadow is a gripping psychological thriller filled with obsession, identity theft, manipulation, deception, stolen memories, dangerous secrets, paranoia, and a chilling battle for identity.
Some roommates share an apartment. Allison wants to share Emily’s entire life.
