Reviews with content warning for Murder - My Sister, the Serial Killer

This was just a fun read. I love a horror book and was hoping this to be a bit darker but it was actually kind of funny at points and psychological (lightly). I love the plot and it was a really fun listen

A tense, quick thriller that will have you frustrated and engaged from page one. I loved that it was told in short vignettes; it kept the pacing up as well as gave you nuggets of information one at a time. I was frustrated by the characters, but it also all made sense. Definitely a must read!

Korede's sister (MC) Ayoola's view of life is that her beauty and ability to deceive should grant her everything she wants, no mater the cost to the others. Korede has been made to look after her in a servitude-kind of manner even if she has to compromise her own well being: this is the opinion of their mother, and Korede has internalized it so completely she is willing to

give up her crush and

hide the evidence of multiple murders for her sister.

Both the sisters don't seem too well mentally, but no outsider seems to pay attention to it

before it's too late

. The book is set in a strict patriarchal culture that I'm not very familiar with, combined with a hard drive towards settling in a marriage (and women maybe having worth only as a wife even if they had succesfull careers), but even in that frame I think Ayoola and Korede's mindsets are extreme.

So many characters in this book annoyed me. Points to Braithwaite for creating such full characters that are able to invoke such annoyance in me haha A page-turner, to say the least! And that ending 🙊🙈
