My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite
3.0

This was an interesting read. I didn’t really know what to expect going into it but I kind of enjoyed it. Not sure what I found crazier the sister Ayoola actually being a serial killer or the fact Korede kept running to her rescue and feeling obligated to protect her.

In my opinion Korede was a bit gullible when it came to her sister. Ayoola was careless, wreckless, and definitely a user. She showed no remorse for the things she did. I’m not saying she was a gold digger but she was for sure an opportunist. She took advantage of the fact Korede was her older sister and knew she’d do anything for her.

Ayoola made mistake after mistake and nothing was ever held against her. Then after murdering her third boyfriend Korede ran to her rescue again ready to clean up Ayoola’s mess. Only this time Korede got herself into something she almost couldn’t get either of them out of.

What I still can’t understand is why Ayoola was murdering the men she dated in the first place. Could’ve been due to the poor relationship they had with their father or maybe she was just a serial psychopath. I just want to know the motive because all she told Korede each time was that it was self defense. One time maybe but three?

She was enjoying it a little too much and Korede was her unintentional accomplice even though she knew it wasn’t morally right. That was until the guy Korede had a crush on wanted to date Ayoola. Now her sisters murder streak was too much to bear when her crush was in the mix.

Overall this was a quick read I can’t say much without giving it all away. But its a really short book and held my attention. So, I recommend‼️
