Books like Linked by Imogen Howson

Elissa once had it all: a perfect appearance, widespread popularity, and a bright future. Suddenly, she is plagued by terrifying visions and mysterious bruises. Promised a cure and a scheduled surgery, she instead learns that the images she sees are the perspective of another girl—Lin—who looks exactly like her, down to the bruises. Lin is a battered, broken telepathic twin on the run from a ruthless government that hunts them. Elissa helps Lin evade capture, but the obstacles grow. Their only hope lies with Cadan, the arrogant best friend of Elissa’s brother and a new graduate of the SFI space flight academy. Cadan’s skills offer the only chance at safety, yet Lin’s value and the danger of Elissa’s knowledge make the government stop at nothing to reclaim them. Set in a near‑future world of advanced technology, strange machines, and government surveillance, the novel intertwines twin dynamics, telepathy, and a fight against authority.
