My Sister, the Serial Killer: A Novel

My Sister, the Serial Killer is a sharp, engaging novel that explores the complicated bond between two sisters. Korede is practical and dependable, while Ayoola is charismatic and impulsive, creating a tense and compelling dynamic. Braithwaite balances dark humor with unsettling moments, keeping the story fast-paced and absorbing. The book also raises thoughtful questions about loyalty and the lengths we go to for family, even when those choices are morally unclear. I think the author could have done a bit more with this, but all in all I found this to be an enjoyable read.

Chilling.

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.
