Mother, Mother: A Novel by Koren Zailckas
Who is telling the truth? The book alternated between siblings Violet and Will, after their oldest sister Rose went missing.
I quite enjoyed this novel, though perhaps "enjoy" is the wrong word to use for this psychological suspense. The characters were quite well developed, and it was a page turner. The chilling part is that there are probably people like so in real life...
The ending was a bit anti-climatic for me though, only because I semi-guessed what happened so it wasn't quite as WOW as it'd have been.
I like the front cover - though I think I kinda like the ARC cover I received a bit more:
4 Stars. Don't forgot to check out other TLC stops to see what other bloggers think! Another blogger posted about 5 things you didn't know about this book , and #2 on the list, regarding the title of the book, was especially interesting! And I think the ARC design cover fitted the title perfectly! It contain some spoilers though, so don't read if you haven't read this book yet :)

I've been curious about this ever since I saw it somewhere. It sounds pretty chilling and engrossing. I'm going to see if I can get my hands on it.
ReplyDeleteYeah it's pretty engaging! I wish I hadn't guessed the ending though. But definitely give it a try!
Delete"enjoy" is always an odd word to use when describing a book like this, but I still find myself doing it all the time. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for being on the tour.
Yeah I know what you mean... I guess when I said "enjoy" it just really means it was a good, engaging reading experience you know? The last thing I want to feel when I read is bored or frustrated.
DeleteOoh, this looks like something I'll have to check out. I'll probably not guess the end so maybe it'll have more of a wow factor for me :)
ReplyDeleteWould love to hear what you think if you read it! I think having read too many murder/mystery books made me guess twists out of habits.
