My Bad Self

The prequel novella to the hugely popular psychological thriller "My ... Self Series"

Good or bad. Right or wrong. The choice is yours ...

Josslyn has a problem. A big problem. Not only is she fed up with her loser boyfriend hitting her, but she also has Alicia to deal with … and Alicia wants to kill the said boyfriend.

Alicia is the psychotic voice in her head who seems to have her own personality and can take over her body at will, resulting in blackouts and memory loss.

Josslyn has never told anyone about Alicia and isn’t about to start now. But can she deal with her abusive boyfriend on her own … or will Alicia need to step in and save the day? And what about the creepy phone calls she keeps getting?

My Bad Self is the prequel novella you've all been waiting for, set four years before the events of My Dark Self, the first book in the hugely popular psychological thriller "My ... Self Series" about two people inhabiting one body. If you loved this series then you’ll be jumping at the chance to read more about the dynamic duo or, if you’ve never read the series, it’s the perfect place to start your journey and find out more about Josslyn and Alicia before diving into the full series of books.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Domestic abuse and swearing.

Inside Story

My Bad Self by Jessica Huntley is a prequel to the My Bad Self trilogy, and it's so much needed!
I loved it so much! Love the way it's written, kind of gives the friend vibe :)
It feels like the story is told specifically to me!

We are introduced to Josslyn and her abusive boyfriend Daniel. We are introduced to Alicia... Josslyn's other personality. Seriously, the dynamics between them are so delicious! They are so opposite and so the same!
I seriously literally swallow this in without breathing!

Diving in the next one :)
p.s. I am happy to start with this because it gives such a good understanding of the character in the first book :)
