wordsofclover 's review for:
My Sister, the Serial Killer
by Oyinkan Braithwaite
I received a free digital copy of this book from the publishers/author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Korede’s sister has done it again. For the third time, she’s killed her boyfriend and called Korede to help clean up the mess. Korede knows that three kills means Ayoola is possibly a serial killer, but what can she do - it’s her little sister. Then Ayoola begins to date Tade, a good-looking doctor in Korede’s hospital, and someone Korede herself is sweet for. How can she keep them safely away from each other?
This book was quite an amusing read, and Ayoola’s actions are definitely something that will make every reader throw their eyes up to the ceiling. She’s extremely full of herself, and seems oblivious to the damage she’s causing around her which is almost scary. This book is suppose to be a mix of satire and slasher and while there were bits of both, I think it lacked a big impact in either genre. I would have liked even more satire, or more slasher/horror. While I was amused at certain points, I didn’t find it as funny as i’ve found other satirical novels to be.
This book has had quite a lot of hype so it’s possible my expectations were too hight for it. It’s certainly a fine read - just not one that blew my mind.
