"Can two sisters ever find a happy medium or will guilt and jealousy break the bonds that tie?"

Suspense | Thriller

SISTER OF MINE is a tense and thrilling read about two sisters that share a secret. A secret that is safely tucked away until a handsome stranger comes to town and threatens to break their bond, set in a sleepy little town making it the perfect backdrop for what lays in wait.

SISTER OF MINE is a terrifying thriller unlike any other. This type of thriller does not come around every day. SISTER OF MINE has a dark, unnerving storyline that centers on a relationship between sisters, Penny and Hattie. Everything on the outside seems perfect but what is hidden beneath the surface is anything but a healthy sisterly bond.

SISTER OF MINE as an alluring undertone of an unspeakable secret that can destroy anyone who uncovers the truth. An extraordinarily compelling and compulsive read that you will not want to put down. A bone-chilling must read for anyone who loves a thriller that is sure to make you question every bump in the night.

This book expands on the sister relationship that is not like your typical sisterly bond. An emotional read full of tension, drama, and a breaking point. After all, in desperate times you need to take drastic measures, right? Penny is the victim of abuse, and when a plan to murder Penny's husband goes off without a hitch, they believe they got away with murder. Little do they know that the jealousy and resentment that they two shares will destroy them,

As time passes by, they think they got away. Then a private investigator tears everything apart. He causes tension to become a breaking point between the two. Soon the stress makes them both miserable, and it consumes them which creates an atmosphere like a pressure cooker.

Can the two ever find a happy medium or will guilt, and jealousy break the bonds that tie?

SUMMARY

For fans of Sarah Pinborough and Liane Moriarty comes a taut domestic suspense about the lies we tell to hold our lives together.

Sisters, like secrets, are best kept close.

Penny and Hattie, orphaned sisters in a small town, are best friends, bound together to the point of knots. But Penny, at the mercy of her brutal husband, is desperate for a fresh start. Willing to do anything for her older sister, Hattie agrees to help. A match is struck and a fire burns Penny’s marriage to the ground. With her husband gone, Penny is free, and the sisters, it seems, get away with murder. But freedom comes at a cost.

More than a year after the fire, a charming young man comes to town. Hattie and Penny quickly bring him into the fold and into their hearts but their love for him threatens the delicate balance. Soon long-held resentments, sibling rivalry, and debts unpaid boil over, and the bonds of sisterhood begin to snap. As one little lie grows into the next, the sisters’ secrets will unravel, eroding their lives until only a single, horrible truth remains: You owe me.

A compelling novel of suspense from a talented new voice, Sister of Mine asks us to consider the bonds of family, what it takes to commit the unthinkable, and how far you’ll go to protect the ones you love.
