Erica Silverman was abducted when she was four. She was snatched outside her kindergarten and never seen again. Over the past thirteen years, her multimillionaire parents have spared no expense trying to find her.

Then, one day, the miracle happens. Erica frees herself from her kidnappers and finds her way home.

She is seventeen. Years of her life are lost. She is battered. She has PTSD. She has to relearn everything about who she is and where she's from.

And there's one more thing- She is not Erica Silverman.

Violet is the daughter of the best con man in Las Vegas. She has spent her whole life preparing to step into the shoes of a girl she has never met.

But she is also Violet, and she has a job- stay long enough to steal the legendary Silverman Painting. Walking a razor's edge, calculating every decision, not sure sometimes who she is or what she is doing it all for, Violet is getting lost in her own lies. . . .

Reviews for Pretending to Be Erica

Praise for Pretending to Be Erica The realistic, well thought-out plot with its unique cast of characters make this YA crime novel impossible to put down. School Library Journal A thriller premise with a satisfying shades-of-gray resolution. Kirkus Reviews This unique, dual first-person novel is a fascinating read. The good/bad protagonist is deep, different, and wonderful. The story is imaginative and engrossing. Readers both want to sympathize with and hate Violet. Her torment and angst about her duel lives are intriguing. She is a different kind of main character, an antihero with a heart and conscience. This book craves reading in one sitting. This excellent book is a must-have purchase for all libraries. VOYA
