I enjoyed this in some ways, but there was always another secret, another quick twist and it all got a bit much. The concepts around brain injury were interesting, but no idea of they are realistic at all.

Overall, I felt that the narration was a bit flat - some books when told in the third person can still take you into the plot, whereas I felt that this was more of a ‘written report’ of what was going on, hence I didn’t overly connect with the lead characters.

Enjoyable decently paced thriller, kept me on my toes and wanting to turn the pages. Decent 4 star book

Oh wow. What a ride, what a brain ache. This had me in circles, flicking pages faster than I could read them, and that ending…..yes that ending.

Chills up my spine.

This was an enjoyable psychological thriller. I only rated it 3 stars due to the fact that I felt it could have been condensed a bit to make it a little pacier. I will read more from this author.

Not one of my favourite books by this author and I’m sorry to say that I struggled, through it. Just an ok read for me . 2.5 stars

Has all the aspects of the perfect physiological thriller.

Full of twists, secrets and lies, you get drawn into the story and invested in the characters early on.

I would definitely recommend with a solid 4 stars.

A thoroughly riveting read. I love premises like this, where secrets and mysteries from the past come to light through twists and turns. This one doesn’t disappoint!

BLOOD SISTERS by JANE CORRY is a gripping, surprising, complex, and a suspenseful psychological thriller novel that had me totally engaged, entertained, and interested throughout the whole book.

From the bestselling author of My Husband's Wife, a new thriller featuring three girls, one accident, and a lifetime of lies. Blood Sisters is full of twists and turns and is an impressive 2nd novel.

Blood sister's by Jane Corry.
 Three little girls set off to school one sunny morning. Within an hour, one of them is dead.

Fifteen years later, Kitty can't speak and has no memory of the accident that's to blame. She lives in an institution, unlikely ever to leave. But that doesn't keep her from being frightened when she encounters an eerily familiar face.

Art teacher Alison looks fine on the surface. But the surface is a lie. She's struggling to make ends meet and to forget the past. When a teaching job at a prison opens up, she takes it, despite her fears. Maybe this is her chance to set things right. Then she starts to receive alarming notes; next, her classroom erupts in violence.

Meanwhile, someone is watching both Kitty and Alison. Someone who never forgot what happened that day. Someone who wants revenge. And only another life will do. . .

This was a fantastic read with brilliant characters.  It had shocks with surprises and more shocks. Brilliant. 5*.

This is the second book I've read by Jane Corry.

I liked the first one, My Husband’s Wife, and I liked this one just as much.

The story is told between two timelines, 2001 and 2016 which can be confusing sometimes but it worked really well in this case.

Fantastic characters, including Kitty and Alison, two sisters with very different personalities; Fascinating plot with unpredictable twists. Very engrossing story!

I am looking forward to Jane Corry’s next release.

Thanks NetGalley and Penguin UK – Michael Joseph for the opportunity to read and review this fantastic novel.

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

Three girls set off for school but one dies. Alison and Kitty are coping in their own ways years later but something is happening that means someone remembers that day.

Tense and unique this is an enjoyable read.

Twists and turns galore! A really enjoyable read and for teh last several chapters I could not put it down as I needed all to be revealed. This book ticked all the boxes for me, great characters who came alive. The plot was a rollercoaster and kept me guessing til the end. While some of the scenes were over the top I appreciated how the story was thrown together at the end and all twists revealed. an enjyoyable read.

Blood Sisters is a psychological thriller that kept me on my toes (and awake at night) and guessing right to the end, and what an ending.

Sibling rivalry and lies is what is behind this storyline which is told fifteen years apart. Three girls walking to school and only two will ever return home again.

A good, suspenseful read that I really enjoyed and look forward to more from Jane Corry.

A totally absorbing book, quite different from the norm. I loved the parallel stories and how they come together. A worthy read.

WoW. I was looking forward to reading Blood Sisters by Jane Corry. The first few chapters were good, dramatic and shocking. and I thought it would be a good book. However, I then became very slow, boring and it so Long. I felt it lacked something or did I miss it? I did not enjoy this book . If the book was condensed down it would of been a good book to read, it just went on and on and on!
Sorry 2 🌟🌟

Really enjoyed the beginning part of this book, but it seemed to lose its way, part way through. Was a bit disappointed in this book

Blood Sisters is Corry’s second novel and although I’ve had her debut on my TBR for awhile, I’ve never quite managed to squeeze it in. Now I’m kicking myself because I liked this one so much that I’m quite sure that I’ll end up loving her other book as well!

This is told via two viewpoints, sisters Kitty and Alison, it starts in 2016 then goes back to 2001 when they were children before some sort of accident that isn’t clearly outlined until much later. Corry did an admirable job at giving each sister a strong, clear voice and I especially enjoyed Kitty’s chapters. Kitty can’t speak but getting a glimpse inside her mind was engrossing and her frustration at being able to understand what people were saying and not being able to converse was portrayed brilliantly.

This was a read full of startling surprises, SO many and this was the rare time where they all made sense instead of the dreaded twists just for the sake of shock value. I wouldn’t necessarily describe this as fast paced, though it wasn’t exactly a slow burn either. It was somewhere in the middle I suppose with sedate moments and others where the intensity was ratcheted up several notches, a nice balance. By the time I got to the end I was desperate to know the truth about the day the accident happened and Corry even threw a few extra curveballs in that caught me off guard. Overall, a very well written and well executed psychological thriller.

Blood Sisters in three words: Skillful, Absorbing and Unexpected
