4.5 rounded up.

I thoroughly enjoyed this short novel. I had no idea what to expect and had a near constant knot in my stomach waiting for the tale to unfold. I can absolutely see myself reading it again. So good.

Very easy read, a few unexplored plots or threads that left me wishing more out of the story, but overall I enjoyed my time with it. I can see the writer's potential in this book and I am interested to see more.

Fast-paced and darkly funny, My Sister, the Serial Killer has a killer premise and sharp writing, but doesn’t quite live up to its full potential. The sibling dynamic is compelling, but the story feels a bit thin and repetitive by the end. It’s entertaining, for sure—but not especially memorable. A stylish read that could’ve used a bit more substance.

This was a great vacation read on the internal struggle of sisterly love and the guilt of being an accomplice in their murderous habits. From the family ties to the constant inner battle, the reader sees how far one could go and the excuses they make to dismiss their morals. I thought it was a well written plot and a very dark enjoyable read.
