Suspense Psychological
IF YOU KNEW MY SISTER by Michelle Adams is an addictive
suspenseful read that you will not want to put down with a plot
that keeps you on your toes never knowing what will happen
next. I read this is book in one night because I had to know
what was going to happen next and how it all was going to play
out in the end. IF YOU KNEW MY SISTER is a story of intriguing
family secrets that is shared between two sisters. While I was
reading this novel, I had an unsettling feeling that something
was going to happen or something dark is just around this
corner. Adams is a writer that knows what she is doing! She
writes with such a descriptive detail that makes everything
seem so vividly real that it is almost scary. Each setting is
described in a way that makes it easy for you to close your
eyes and picture exactly what she is telling you. The
characters all have detailed pasts that help to add depth to
the overall story line making you feel like they are about to
jump right off the page. The story is a slow and steady kind of
read with nothing being fast paced. IF YOU KNEW MY SISTER is the kind of story
that keeps you on the edge of your seat hoping that nothing
jumps out of the book and gets you. Each page you read will
pull you deeper into the story and into the minds of the main
characters. The ending was so shocking for me! I did not expect
the story to end the way it did. I highly recommend this book
for anyone who loves a good suspense novel that will make you
want to sleep with the lights on!
SUMMARY
In the vein of Ruth Ware's In a Dark, Dark Wood
comes a novel of psychological suspense form debut author
Michelle Adams, where a woman returns to her family's home
to learn the truth and escape her sister's influence If you knew my sister, you’d run too… First there was the Robert Kneel incident.
Then what happened to Margot Wolfe.
And now she’s found me again. Dr. Irini Harringford was given away by her parents just
before her fourth birthday. Although she has spent her whole
life trying to convince herself she doesn't need them, deep
down Irini longs to understand why she was abandoned, while
her parents kept her older sister, Elle. So when Elle gets in touch with news that their mother has
died, Irini reluctantly agrees to return to the family home.
But she is ill at ease. She and Elle are not close. Irini
knows only too well what Elle is capable of. Inexplicably
drawn to her enigmatic sister, yet terrified of the sway she
holds, Irini tries to protect herself even as she is sucked
back into her family's toxic web of secrets...and soon
realizes that the past is more complicated than she
imagined, and that her very future rests upon discovering
the truth about why she was really given away.
