This was such a good book, I could not put it down! I felt like I was with the characters and was cheering them on! I would definitely recommend this book!

This one was really fast paced and full of surprises throughout just like this authors previous book. The ending was unpredictable and I couldnt put the book down until I had finished reading it.

I loved the authors writing style and the premise. The story is told from the POVs of three main characters. There are also two timelines. The book is fast paced and kept my attention. The characters are easy to connect to.

I felt like every element of The Bad Sister had a flip side to it; for every good thing, there was something disappointing. Let’s start with the characters. None of the sisters were particularly likeable. Contrary to how that may sound, this was a good thing. I enjoy a good love-to-hate character; they really spice a story up. Each of the sisters were their own unique character, yet it was easy to see how they fit together as a family. What let me down with the characters is that they didn’t evolve over time; how they were as teenagers were mostly how they were as adults. Besides, perhaps, Jessica, who did have a minor development curve.

The storyline was interesting and had some good twists. Some of the twists I didn’t see coming but, when they did, I wasn’t excited. This is what I can’t put my finger on regarding The Bad Sister: why didn’t any of the big reveals get my heart racing. A few weeks after finishing the book, I still don’t know if it was the writing style or maybe I just wasn’t pumped about this book.

The book touches on a variety of deep topics: mental health, abuse, eating disorders, addiction. I would have liked them to go deeper into the topics, maybe sacrificing one or two to give room for more depth.

One thing I really liked without question: the final chapter.

The Keane sisters all have secrets to hide. So they keep distance from one another. Until a graduation brings them together.

This was a fair read for me. I felt the story was good, but with a poor execution.

Many thanks to Net Galley and the publisher door a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Unfortunately I have not been able to connect with this book and so after multiple attempts I have had to mark as dnf.

A good read, and one that kept me gripped. Good characters and some nice tension throughout. Looking forward to reading more from the author.

Wowsers, this was a ride!!! Very fast paced and full of surprises this is the kinda book I like ❤️ didn’t take me long to gobble this one up and was shocked at the twist, defo can’t wait for more from the author, read a few now and they are ALWAYS bang on the money

With its gripping plot and complex characters, this psychological thriller will have you on the edge of your seat. Don't miss out on this thrilling read!

This book was emotional, suspenseful and mind blowing! I can't recommend it enough. I couldn't put it down and felt sad when it ended, knowing their stories were over. 5 big stars!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for approving me for this book.

I felt the writing was done well in this book but there was just something missing for me and I couldn't get into it and enjoy it as much as I hoped I would.

Is there a second book? I feel like the story could produce a sequel! Rigghhht?

Cheers to Netgalley for the copy!

As with most novels that jump backwards and forwards in time this novel took a bit of getting used to but once I got my head around all of the characters and really got into the book I was engrossed. Full of twists and turns I couldn’t work out for the life of me what the ending was going to be.

There is a past and present theme in this storyline. It is fast paced with plenty of twists and turns. Full of secrets. I would never have guessed this ending.

Another fab read from this author. This story is told both in the past and present, and from the view point of three sisters.

Following the death of her daughter, Hope, Eve finds it very difficult to interact with her 3 remains daughters and prefers instead to drown out her life through heavy drug.

Hope died after falling out of a tree on raven Island, a very short boat ride from the family home. She was found by youngest sister Jess who since that time will now only speak monosyllabic.

In later years, during a large family party, Juno best friend to sister Natalue is also found dead on the island. Is there a connection between these deaths and are the right people being held to justice.

This is a fast paced book with plenty of twists and red herrings. It tells of family betrayals, misunderstandings, destructive lies but the pulling together of a group of sisters.

Highly recommend a read.

Too many characters with too many points of view. I got lost trying to keep up and couldn’t totally focus on the plot line

This is just the type of book that I like. It has a great plot that keeps you guessing till the end. Perfect to keep you entertained on a long road trip!

Read this on the recommendation that fans of Shari Lapena would like it. An enjoyable story that I looked forward to picking up to read. Starts off slow but does build. Lots of tension and questioning things in the book.

Thank you NetGalley for providing this book for an honest review. There was a tradegy that turns the Keane sisters against one another. This book is full of suspense and twists. It is a family drama that is captivating as you reach the thrilling moments. I was invested in each of the sisters lives and loved the story.

This is a good book. It does take a while and can be confusing at times.. I enjoyed and would recommend it
