Thank you to Minotaur Books and Netgalley for the advance reader copy of The Half Sister in exchange for my honest review! This book is slated to be released TOMORROW and I am here to tell you to get this one ASAP!
This is Sandie Jones’ third book and does not disappoint. In this tale we have two sisters, Kate and Lauren who meet at their mother’s house every Sunday for lunch. Their relationship is best described as strained, but they keep up appearances for their mother, especially since their father has recently passed.
One Sunday a woman, Jess, shows up at the door and claims to be a love child of their fathers and is the half sister of Kate and Lauren. Kate cannot fathom the idea of her father straying from her mother and is out to prove this woman is a fraud. Lauren on the other hand believes Jess and thinks that Kate just needs to accept it.
At first I thought Jones spilled the beans and ruined the entire book. I was convinced I knew what was happening…what I didn’t see happening was everything that did. Whoops. That’s what made this book a good one for me…there are twists and turns and family secrets that just seep out from everywhere.
I started to think Jess was crazy. Maybe it was Lauren that was crazy. With Kate, I had no idea…she is a little crazy and over the top, but I liked her the most. I felt the most connected to Kate and was really pulling for her. In the end, this story satisfied everything.
4 stars. This is a marvelous domestic suspense novel that will have your wheels turning trying to figure the family out. The ending may shock you…which makes this one all the better!
