“We’d do anything for the ones we love. I’m beginnning to understand that now more than ever.”

Wow, this was my first Claire Douglas book and it did not disappoint!

This book follows two different stories, one about a missing child and one about a murder, and as the book goes on, you learn about how the two stories are interconnected.

In addition to the thriller aspect of the novel (trying to figure out who the killer was), there was a lot of family dynamics described in the novel that I think a lot of people can relate to. This books talks about what it is like to lose a family member, to have a sibling who you always feel like you have to compete with, having a tough relationship with a spouse, and so much more. I was dying to finish the book to see all the changes in the family dynamics!

If you are someone who enjoys family dramas and suspenseful thrillers, this is definitely a book you should try! I will be picking up more Claire Douglas books after this one!

I also DID NOT see that ending coming!🫣

The only thing keeping me from giving this 5 stars was the slow start along with some parts being dragged out longer than necessary. It took me a while to kind of figure out where the author was going with the book, but once I did, I was hooked!

Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for my unbiased review.

The Wrong Sister comes out of the gate strong as a thriller. I was invested in the events that transpired in the first few chapters. After that, the book was a slow burn. The story is told in alternating points of view and timelines. That can sometimes make things confusing, but it was not an issue for this book. The multiple point of views kept things from getting stale.

After the slow burn, I feel the ending was a little rushed. I feel like everything was tied up a little too quickly. Although it didn’t have me on the edge of my seat, it is a solid book that will keep you invested. Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Perennial and Paperbacks for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

this story follows a family, specifically two sisters : tasha & alice. they could not live more different lives, so one day they decide to swap their lives for a few days. while they do this swap, alice ends up staying at tasha's house with her husband kyle. whereas, tasha and her husband aaron stay in alice's home. during this stay, both alice and her husband kyle are attacked leaving kyle for dead. the mystery starts from here.

this is my first novel from this author and i am pleasantly surprised. the twists in this book were very obvious, so i would not pick this up if you are looking for an outlandish ending. i guessed the twist pretty quickly but that does not take away from the book. i thought this was a fast and easy thriller, with a great atmosphere. the reason why i can't rate this higher is because the stakes are REALLY low and there was a lot of romantic/marriage drama that seemed to drive a portion of the narrative. aside from this, i would recommend it if you need a quick read. i appreciate that claire did not drag certain plot devices & that all the questions are not answered. for once, the "twist" makes sense, and the fact that it leaves on a grey note, also works in this case.

thank you netgalley for the arc! this book is out on august 5th!

A strong, creepy thriller that kept me guessing to the very end. I couldn't put down the book and raced through to find out why these sisters were being attacked.

The Wrong Sister is the perfect book for those who love twists and turns, mystery, and the length people would go for their families! I highly recommend this book!

When Tasha and Aaron need a break from their girls and to rekindle their relationship, Tashas sister Alice offers her place. Everything is going well when Tasha suddenly receives a call that her sister Alice and husband have been attacked and her husband has been killed. Tasha and Aaron rush home to make sure their girls are okay and to take care of Alice. But then a note shows up at Tashas house saying "it was supposed to be you". From this point on there are many questions as to what is going on, who is doing this and why. Things start happening that are weird and secrets are exposed. But will everyone make it out alive?

This was an incredible book! It kept me on my toes from start to finish and I read it within one day. The beginning was a little slow to start but once it started up it didn't stop. The character of Alice was interesting and the stuff you find out about her is definitely unique to this book. This was a true thrill ride and I would read again!!

3.5 stars and thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy.
I liked this book - lots of stuff going on!
There was a good twist to wrap things up!
This was my first book by this author and I would read her again.

The novel offers an intriguing premise and a fast-paced narrative but ultimately falls short. Despite its twists, the plot becomes predictable, and the characters lack depth, making it hard to form a strong connection with them. The resolution feels rushed, leaving some threads unresolved.

Two sisters discover that the secrets they keep from each other prove to be deadly! Good book! This book had suspense, intriguing, murder, mystery, juicy secrets, a sort of who done it and a few crazy twists and turns! The story was interesting, it wasn't one of my top favorites, I just couldn’t get into it for some reason but still worth reading! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

Really enjoyed this book! It hooked me right from the start and I finished it in 24 hours!

Loved the multiple POVs of the different characters and all the twists and turns. Very well paced and kept me guessing until the end!

Would reccomend to others if they're looking for a great thriller!

The Wrong Sister is a mystery thriller with lots of twists and turns. The story is based around Natasha (Tasha) and Alice. This is a fast paced novel with an incredible ending that will leave you shocked.

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for allowing to me to read and review “The Wrong Sister.”

This was a novel centered around the death of Tasha's brother-in-law while he is at her house with her sister Alice, watching the twins while Tasha and her hubby are enjoying Venice, compliments of Alice. Alice had been knocked out and it appears to have been a burglary gone wrong except for............................ many things.

I eventually decided I knew who was responsible and I was right, but dang, that story did not end how I thought it would. Interesting characters and just enough intrigue to keep you turning the pages. I enjoyed it.

Thank you Harper and NetGalley for this ARC.

I consider myself fairly good at predicting character arcs and answers to mysteries, but was stumped as to what the ending would be and was hooked from the first chapter. The suspense I felt is what makes me give this book 4 out of 5 stars. Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins Publishers for the ARC.

I was super pleasantly surprised by this book!

I had never read anything by this author before but this definitely won’t be my last.

From start to finish, I was intrigued. I actually really liked the characters, the plot line was interesting, I even said “what!” a few times because I was so surprised.

I tried to guess the ending but it never occurred to me. This was just all around a great book.

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins Publishers for the ARC of this book!

Wow! What a book!
This is my first book by Claire Douglas and I am impressed.
It kept me guessing until the end!

Thanks Net Galley!

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me to read and review "The Wrong Sister". Claire Douglas gave me everything I am looking for in a Thriller with an ending I could have never predicted. I devoured this book in one sitting. We follow sisters, Tasha and Alice. Tasha has always felt like she lived in the shadows of Alice. Alice is married to a wealthy entrepreneur named Kyle. Tasha is married to her childhood sweetheart, Harry. Tasha and Harry live in the suburbs with their four-year old twins. Alice realizes that Tasha is struggling with many aspects of her life she decides to do a life swap for a week. This is where things go completely wrong. Highly recommend!

5 stars over and over again!!

I adore this author and Claire Douglas has written another 5 star thriller.

Tasha and her husband, Aaron, are on vacation while her sister and brother-in-law watch their children. A couple of nights later, her brother-in-law is murdered and Tasha's sister injured by an intruder. Tasha and Aaron race back home to try and help her sister put her life back in order and to help the cops figure out who would have targeted them. Did the intruder make a mistake and go after the wrong sister?

This is twisty and full of turns, told from different points of view.

*chef's kiss*

Go read this!

Thank you to NetGalley for the copy to review!

I devoured his book. I loved the fast pace. I was so excited when I received the email from NetGalley that I had been chosen for the ARC. This book kept me guessing till the very end. I’d give 5 stars, but I wanted a tad more at the end. It’s an awesome book though!!

The book kicks off with a lot of promise, offering a compelling plot and intriguing twists that draw you in. However, as the story progresses, it starts to lose some of its steam. Midway through, it begins to flatten out, with important plot points being introduced but not fully explored. There’s also a significant twist toward the end that I didn’t see coming, but it felt oddly underplayed, as if it were treated like a minor detail rather than a game-changer.

The ending, while somewhat satisfying, falls short of the book's earlier energy. It feels rushed, leaving a few loose ends that raise more questions than they answer. Despite a conclusion that provides some closure, it didn’t offer the level of resolution I was hoping for, which left me switching from a 4 to a 3-star rating. Overall, it was a quick, enjoyable read, but the lack of deeper explanations and a more fulfilling finale kept it from reaching its full potential.

Thank you NetGalley for an ARC of The Wrong Sister.

The story starts out great with a lot going on and a lot of potential for where this book could go. About halfway through the book, the story flattens out. There are multiple parts of the story that seem to be relevant but are only touched upon and not fully given their due relating to the overall story.

The reveal was a twist I didn't see coming! But it is treated like it is "no big deal." There were things that happened in the beginning of the book that would typically have been explained and wrapped up by the end of the book and they seemed to have been forgotten, never mentioned again. I was left with questions about why they were even mentioned.

Overall the book was fine, it’s not the greatest nor the worst. It was a plus that it was a quick read!
