Nothing Can Hurt You Now by Simone Campos
4.0
Lucinda and Vivianna are sisters but could not be more different, Vivianna is a model and one day whilst at work Lucinda gets a call from one of Vivianna’s friends to say she did not meet her as arranged and that she is not answering her phone.
Lucinda contacts Graziane who she discovers is more than a friend of Vivianna, and that is not the only thing that she discovers about her sister. This is a really interesting read not something that I would pick up usually but I really enjoy translated fiction and the author Simone Campos is Brazilian and the book was translated from Portuguese and I was drawn to the blurb.
Lucinda is horrified by what she discovers about her sister, the book is spilt into three parts, the first sets the scene of Vivianna’s disappearance and the second is much faster paced and dramatic and the third is the gripping conclusion. It is a dark read and in places it is a graphic and brutal, it was a thriller that kept me reading until right until the end.
