Summary
My Sister， the Serial Killer is a blackly comic novel about how blood is thicker - and more difficult to get out of the carpet - than water。。。
When Korede's dinner is interrupted one night by a distress call from her sister， Ayoola， she knows what's expected of her: bleach， rubber gloves， nerves of steel and a strong stomach。 This'll be the third boyfriend Ayoola's dispatched in， quote， self-defence and the third mess that her lethal little sibling has left Korede to clear away。 She should probably go to the police for the good of the menfolk of Nigeria， but she loves her sister and， as they say， family always comes first。 Until， that is， Ayoola starts dating the doctor where Korede works as a nurse。 Korede's long been in love with him， and isn't prepared to see him wind up with a knife in his back: but to save one would mean sacrificing the other。。。

This book was very good until I got to the ending。 It read so well and the characters were interesting。 I loved the plot until I got to the very last chapter。 I wanted her to be happy but she got cold。 I would want someone to read this book just so I can talk to them about it。 Overall I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the thriller genre。

I really did not like Ayoola！ But Korede is the star of this book for various reasons。 It kept me on the edge of my seat and eager to read more。

one of my favorite books。 i love the feel it has to it and the atmosphere it creates。 both of the main characters are well developed and unique and their trauma， the misogyny of the world around them and societal norms and expectations are masterfully illustrated。

Incredibil de dezamăgită de cartea asta。。。 Ce m-a enervat cel mai tare a fost potențialul ei neîmplinit de a fi o carte cu adevărat bună și memorabilă！ Dar în schimb nu e decât o caricatură a unei intrigi realmente interesante și noi în peisajul literar。 Singurul lucru care mi-a plăcut a fost scriitura。 Și rarele referințe culturale aruncate pe ici pe colo。 Însă personajele au fost inconsecvente （deci superficial gândite）， și limitate de niște tipologii care nu știu în ce măsură există în realit Incredibil de dezamăgită de cartea asta。。。 Ce m-a enervat cel mai tare a fost potențialul ei neîmplinit de a fi o carte cu adevărat bună și memorabilă！ Dar în schimb nu e decât o caricatură a unei intrigi realmente interesante și noi în peisajul literar。 Singurul lucru care mi-a plăcut a fost scriitura。 Și rarele referințe culturale aruncate pe ici pe colo。 Însă personajele au fost inconsecvente （deci superficial gândite）， și limitate de niște tipologii care nu știu în ce măsură există în realitate， poveștii i-a lipsit punctul culminant， iar sfârșitul a fost practic ăla pe care mi-l închipuisem de la începutul cărții。 Am tot citit sperând că nu va fi așa， dar nope。 Oricum， scriitoarea are potențial， numai că i-a fost parcă frică （sau lene） să sondeze psihicul uman mai în profunzime și să ofere o poveste cu adevărat tulburătoare。 。。。more

It was quite good this book， quick and easy read to pull you out of a reading slump。 The only reason it is 4 stars and not 5 is because I predicted everything that happened it wasn’t a very unique plot line。

Kind of the book equivalent of those disposable made-for-Hulu shows where you watch three episodes and you’re like “I guess that was legally television。” There’s a mildly clever premise， the characters all have two to three personality traits， there’s a theme （patriarchy）， you get some perfunctory flashbacks to cheaply echo the main story line。 There’s not one stylish or memorable moment but it goes down easily enough。 Good reminder that lit world praisegiving and prizegiving is completely fake Kind of the book equivalent of those disposable made-for-Hulu shows where you watch three episodes and you’re like “I guess that was legally television。” There’s a mildly clever premise， the characters all have two to three personality traits， there’s a theme （patriarchy）， you get some perfunctory flashbacks to cheaply echo the main story line。 There’s not one stylish or memorable moment but it goes down easily enough。 Good reminder that lit world praisegiving and prizegiving is completely fake and responsive to nothing except marketing budgets。 。。。more

I was intrigued in the beginning but towards the end I just became incredibly bored。

I really wanted to love this book。 The plot of the book is so intriguing， and it’s what made me want to read it in the first place。However， I feel like it fell short。 The writing is amazing， it’s very engaging and easy to digest。 Again， the plot and story line is perfect。 The characters have so much potential too。 I just needed more！！ More depth into the plot and especially more character building。 Again， the writing is beautiful。 I just felt like Braithwaite needed to dive deeper into the plot I really wanted to love this book。 The plot of the book is so intriguing， and it’s what made me want to read it in the first place。However， I feel like it fell short。 The writing is amazing， it’s very engaging and easy to digest。 Again， the plot and story line is perfect。 The characters have so much potential too。 I just needed more！！ More depth into the plot and especially more character building。 Again， the writing is beautiful。 I just felt like Braithwaite needed to dive deeper into the plot and really unfold the story behind Ayoola’s character in order for this to actually feel like a thriller。Also， the best way to describe the ending of this book is that feeling when you reach for your bar of chocolate expecting to take a bite， but dismally realise you took your last bite already… 。。。more

Such a page turner！ Love the satirical takes on society concerning family dynamics， worth found through beauty （beauty of course comes with goodness， right？ riiiiight）， and troglodytes—oops—straight men’s foolishness。Satisfying ending as well。

Laugh-out-loud hilarious。 Braithwaite has herself a page-turner here。 Not too deep， which I appreciated。 Finished in 24 hours。

This book is easy to read while also having an engaging plot。 My only problem with it was the really short chapters that left a lot of blank space on pages。 If you can get it at the library， do it。

As this book went on， I was enjoying it more than I thought I would。 This is one of the few books I can say I have read set in Africa in a modern era。 The few glimpses into a life abroad in Nigeria were by far my favorite parts。The characters are tough to love。 I think it goes without saying that the serial killer character is not one I was ever really rooting for。 I was intrigued by Korede's character since she was caught in the middle of her sociopath sister and this man she has a crush on。 Th As this book went on， I was enjoying it more than I thought I would。 This is one of the few books I can say I have read set in Africa in a modern era。 The few glimpses into a life abroad in Nigeria were by far my favorite parts。The characters are tough to love。 I think it goes without saying that the serial killer character is not one I was ever really rooting for。 I was intrigued by Korede's character since she was caught in the middle of her sociopath sister and this man she has a crush on。 The way it wraps up though。。。I'm not sure I was really sold。 I thought it was a cheap and easy way out of the dilemma。 I ended up liking Korede only slightly more than her sister the murderess。There is an underlying， parallel story involving the sisters' father。 Around the halfway mark， the similarities started to show and I got very excited about the direction the story was heading。 However， the ending was another let down that really did not do anything for me。 Most of this book was a three star experience。 But， the last 25% of the book just killed it for me。 。。。more

The ending though！！！ I loved the way it ended， probably my favorite thing about this book。 I felt so frustrated about the characters， which I think is a good thing because it meant that I actually cared。 Really like， and recommend this book。

Proof that a powerful plot attached to a minimalistic writing style is the formula for commercial success。 The premise was great， the setting was vivid， although the ending was lacking and ultimately dissatisfying。 Still glad I read this and would recommend， definitely a good book to have on hand。

Compelling story。 Great characters。 The ending is depressing。 No justice is served and no happiness is found。 It seems that's the trend in fiction now。 I don't think I've read one novel lately where people end up where you want them to。 Compelling story。 Great characters。 The ending is depressing。 No justice is served and no happiness is found。 It seems that's the trend in fiction now。 I don't think I've read one novel lately where people end up where you want them to。 。。。more

LOVED this book about sisterly loyalty。 despite the divide between the main character and her sister， while reading I was reminded and reaffirmed that I would do ANYTHING for mine。。。
