My Sister, the Serial Killer By Oyinkan Braithwaite, How to Kill Your Family By Bella Mackie 2 Books Collection
My Sister, the Serial
Korede’s sister Ayoola is many the favorite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoola’s third boyfriend in a row is dead, stabbed through the heart with Ayoola’s knife. Korede’s practicality is the sisters’ saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood (bleach, bleach, and more bleach), the best way to move a body (wrap it in sheets like a mummy), and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures to Instagram when she should be mourning her “missing” boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit.
How to Kill Your
‘Funny and furious and strangely uplifting. Grace is a bitter and beguiling anti-hero with a keen eye for social analysis – even in her most grisly deeds, you never stop rooting for her’ PANDORA SYKES ‘Deliciously addictive…brilliantly executed’ i PAPER ‘Addictive… Grace Bernard is one of the most intriguing and bewitching protagonists I've read in years’ EMMA GANNON.

The absolute brass balls of whoever put the dark majesty that is My Sister The Serial Killer with the pile of disdainful, hate-filled nausea that is How To Kill Your Family. The disrespect.

As a character study, My Sister, the Serial Killer is captivating. Korede is being squeezed in a vise of uncertainty as her loyalty and morality are put to the ultimate test. However, with so much focus on the narrator, the secondary characters are barely sketched in. This lack of development is particularly discernible with regard to Ayoola. Given no access to her mind or details about her personality, one wonders what makes her tick, and how she feels about the things she has done. Guilty? Justified? Who knows. The sisters' backstory includes a hint at motive, but it would have been nice to know more. Nevertheless, Braithewaite has constructed a taut narrative, rich in psychological intrigue with just enough dark humor to break the tension.

Fun? Quick read. Definitely left me judging the main character and finding myself likely guilty of the same behavior.

*This review is only for My sister the serial killer*
Disappointing.
While the writing has pace and is well constructed, the characters have no growth so for me, the book becomes repetitive and a bit boring.
I didn't care about any of them more than to be mildly annoyed at the narrator.
It will be interesting to see what the writer does next, though I am not sure if I would invest my time with them again.
