This is the second book I’ve read by this author. She has a way of drawing the reader into the suspenseful storylines. Halfway through this one the story began to get bogged down unnecessarily. I will say she follows a plot line of who is behind the evil in both books I have read. I would recommend this book, being a seasoned reader it still kept me engaged until the very end. Overall a good suspenseful easy read.

Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy of The Half Sister!

Sandie Jones, you’ve done it to me again!! I got approved for this book YESTERDAY and it was perfect timing because I had just finished another book (and I was so super excited!!!!!!!!!!) This is the third book I’ve read by Jones and while it wasn’t my favorite of the three, it was still really good and really fast-paced. Kate and Lauren are sisters, living completely opposite lives when Jess shows up and claims to be their half sister, sharing the same father. Kate and their mother Rose refuse to believe Jess but Lauren is more accepting, but why?? Obviously because Lauren has a secret... and Kate has a secret... and Jess has a secret... and Rose has a secret... Everyone has secrets and this book proves that if you are just honest with the people you love, a lot of chaos can be avoided!

I love this author and was thrilled to be given the opportunity to read her new book! This book was definitely different than her other books, although I still enjoyed it! It had more of a feel of a “family drama” instead of a thriller, as O had anticipated. That being said, I liked the intricacies of the relationships between sisters and their mother—there were also a few surprising twists in the story that made for an interesting read.

Kate and Lauren are incredibly close sisters and they lean on each other even more after the death of their father. Then they are approached by a woman who claims to be their half sister, and she has the paperwork to prove it. Who is the man Kate and Lauren called their father, and what secrets is their half sister about to reveal? A taut and intelligent domestic thriller
