Brother/Sister by Sean Olin

The Blurb On The Back:

WILL: How many times do I have to say it? Yes, I see the picture. It’s a ody, obviously. It’s a dead body.

ASHELEY: You have to understand, I love my brother. I’m scared of him too, but … regardless of what he has or hasn’t done I feel for him, you know.

WILL: I don’t care what happens to me, really, I don’t. But Ashley … she had nothing to do with any of this.

ASHELEY: It’s not like it sounds. He had a good heart. He trusted me. And I always did the best I could to help him.

WILL: It’s not her fault. None of it. Okay then. The guy in the photo. I killed him … but I had to. I had no choice. Why? That’s complicated. That’ll take a while.


The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Sean Olin’s YA thriller has an interesting premise, well-drawn characters with strong first person voices and plenty of twists and turns to keep you interested. Although I felt that it came dangerously close to soap opera in a couple of places, it’s still worth checking out and I look forward to seeing what Sean Olin writes next.

BROTHER/SISTER was released in the UK on 4th August. Thanks to Penguin for the ARC of this book.
