The narrative and the thoughts of Violet while behaving as Erica are articulate and easy to contemplate thus made me feel closer to Violet as a person.
The pacing is also quite fast given the fact that instead of thrilling me, it entertained me most of the time. From the very first page, the author pulls us into the deep web of mystery behind two lives played the same person. The writing style of this first time author is something beyond perfection. But on the other hand, Violet has her own life with school, projects, boys and friends, will she be able to completely embody herself into Erica's demeanor? And will she be able to come out of Erica's life after stealing the paining? And right now Violet is 16 year old and she has to step into her father's quest to steal the famous Silverman painting by van Gogh. To play Erica's role, Sal has provided both medical and psychological training to Violet, so that not only even her looks and DNA matches with the dead princess but also she talks and walks like her. Violet was seven years when she was adopted from the foster home by Sal, a very notorious and famous con-man in Vegas, and all her life she has been groomed like the dead and kidnapped princess named, Erica Silverman belonging from a very wealthy family. Walking a razor’s edge, calculating every decision, not sure sometimes who she is or what she is doing it for, Violet is an unforgettable heroine, and Pretending to be Erica is a killer debut. But she is also Violet, and she has a job: Stay long enough to steal the Silverman Painting, an Old Master legendary in the Vegas crime world. And then, when the time is right, she “reappears”-Erica Silverman, brought home by some kind of miracle. She knows every detail of the Silvermans’ lives, as well as the PTSD she will have to fake around them. Violet shares a blood type with Erica soon, thanks to surgery and blackmail, she has the same face, body, and DNA. Violet’s father, the best con man in Las Vegas, has a plan, chilling in its very specific precision. Seventeen-year-old Violet’s entire life has revolved around one thing: becoming Erica Silverman, an heiress kidnapped at age five and never seen again.
