Even though I anticipated the twists it didn't deter from my experience, well paced and kept me hooked throughout, great cast of characters that felt well rounded and authentic

Thank you so much to NetGalley for a copy of this book it was really good and I would rate it 3/5 stars!

3⭐️ for an average thriller. Started off strong and lagged in the middle…then the ending felt rushed. Lots of family secrets but the way they were woven into the narrative made them obvious as to how they would impact the story. Overall, it was just ok for me!
Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC!

The writing kept me interested throughout the book. The only reason I couldn’t give it a fifth star is because I ultimately guessed both of the big twists. I’d still recommend this to those who like thrillers.

The Wrong Sister is a wonderfully written slow-burn thriller. There are plenty of twists and turns that kept me interested and allowed me to read it in a day. However, unless there is a sequel, the ending was disappointing. I can’t elaborate without spoiling it. I would read it again, even with the ending the way it is!

•That ending?! What did I just read??

•Tasha is married with children living a quiet life in her hometown. Her sister, Alice, lives a life of luxury with her husband. As Tasha’s wedding anniversary approaches, Alice suggests “swapping” lives for a week so Tasha and her husband can have a romantic getaway.

•While away, Tasha and her husband receive a devastating phone call— Alice and her husband have been attacked. He’s been murdered and Alice is in critical condition. The couple rush home, only to uncover some dark family secrets…

•Thank you to NetGalley, Harper Perennial and Paperbacks, and Claire Douglas for this ARC. It will become available on August 5, 2025.

This was a perplexing one to solve, and was generally surprised at the ending. Enjoying Claire Douglas books lately but she's written 10 do I have some catching up to do!

Suspense filled with unexpected twists and turns revealed throughout entirety of the book (not just the end)! Easily a 5 star read for me!

This is a thriller murder mystery. It involves family secrets, a kidnapping from several years prior and some family drama. It is so so good!!! The ending really shocked me. I didn't see it coming.

That left me speechless. That was a crazy twisty thriller. That ending. Wow. Did not see that coming. This book is full of hidden family secrets and deception. If you’re looking for a thriller that will blow your mind this is it.

I received an ARC copy of this book through NetGalley.

This was a little bit of a slow burn, but twisty none-the-less. A solid 4 stars, I liked it and it was easy enough to follow. I thought I had it figured out a few times, but I didn't.

This was my first Claire Douglas novel & probably my last. The writing was so perfunctory. The characters lacked depth. I was not invested in the story at all. There were too many red herrings and not enough payoff. Some threads were never resolved.

I read this book for free through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. I wish I had better things to say about it.

Sisters and their spouses switch lives, and then the worst thing happens. Tragedy occurs for one family that affects the other.

Holy Wow! What an intoxicating read, choked full of twists and turns you will never see coming. I hadn’t read Claire Douglas before, and thrillers aren’t usually my genre, but this book pleasantly surprised me when I started reading it one cold weekend. The plot twists will keep you guessing, and the two sisters and mother are not exactly what they seem.

The tale started slowly, but I am glad I gave it a chance. The family drama will get you down, but don’t let it; you will miss all the significant moments this author put into her tale.

The continual switching of viewpoints was the book's most confusing part. It really kept me on my toes so I wouldn’t get lost and put it down. But have a notepad ready to keep track of a few things as you read. There are no spoilers here, but you will understand what I mean when you read.

If you can overlook the family drama and consider how the dynamics in this family could lead to all the plot twists, you will love this book. It is not a cozy thriller, so take your time and get lost in the magic Claire Douglas weaves in her tale.

I gave it four stars because the story kept me reading from start to finish. However, I couldn’t give it a five-star rating because too many details detract from the plot and twists.

But give it a whirl. It will amaze you.

I want to thank Net Galley, the author, and the publisher, for the opportunity to read this book as a free ARC. This review is voluntary and is mine alone.

This book took me a bit to get into and then it was off and rolling. Lots of twists in the story to keep you guessing and it has a nice build up to the end. Good read.

The was a very meh read for me. The twist wasn't super exciting, and the book kind of dragged on for me. I've enjoyed some of Claure Douglas' other books more.

This book had so many twists and turns I could not put it down. A surprise ending I did not see coming left me feeling stunned!

This book follows Tasha and Alice, two sisters who live very different lives, and their mother, Jeanette who is still grieving the disappearance of her youngest daughter Holly 30 years later. You learn so much about this family dynamic and uncover family secrets that will leave your jaw on the floor. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to more from author Claire Douglas!

Thank you NetGalley and Harper Perennial and Paperbacks for this ARC.

3.5/5 stars

The Wrong Sister is fast paced and twisting - exactly what I want in a thriller! I couldn’t put it down, but I feel like there were some loose ends left at the end. I would have liked some clearer answers on some of the plot lines.

The Wrong Sister by Claire Douglas is an intense, gripping thriller that kept me hooked from start to finish. The story follows Tasha and Alice, two sisters living vastly different lives, who decide to swap their routines for a week. What starts as an exciting adventure quickly spirals into a nightmare when a tragic incident leaves one sister's husband dead and the other fighting for her life. The chilling message, “It was supposed to be you,” sets off a series of twists that kept me guessing until the very end.

The intricate family dynamics and underlying secrets add layers of suspense, making this more than just a typical thriller. The pacing was mostly steady, though a few slower moments didn’t detract from the overall tension. The shocking ending left me reeling, a testament to Claire Douglas’s skillful storytelling.

This is a must-read for thriller fans looking for a story that blends emotional depth with edge-of-your-seat suspense. Highly recommend adding this to your summer reading list!

My first from Claire Douglas and it won't be the last! Tasha and her husband, Aaron are on a rekindle-our-marriage type trip to France. Tasha leaves their house in the care of her sister, Alice and her husband Kyle. Someone attacks Alice and Kyle and Kyle dies. Turns out each sister has her secrets. Now, this is a slow burn. That's not usually my thing, but the author does a fantastic job of still keeping the tension going. The story is told from several POV's and has more than just one mystery going all at once. It is well written and nothing gets too confusing. Super-easy to tell what's going on. I liked the character development and nice twist! I look forward to more!
