Silent Sister

De: Megan Davidhizar

Narrado por: Karissa Vacker

The must-read suspense novel of the summer about a mysterious girl's disappearance, her biggest betrayal and a deadly truth screaming to come out.

Two sisters went missing on their class trip—Grace, the outgoing athlete who is friends with just about everyone, and Maddy, the wallflower wilting in her sister’s shadow who'd rather absorb herself in her journal than talk to her classmates.

But when Grace is found—injured, with no memory of what happened—everybody thinks she’s lying. It’s hard not to look guilty with Maddy’s blood on her clothes.

Desperate to save her sister—and prove her own innocence—Grace must piece together what happened on that school trip with the help of her sister’s notebook and classmates who may not be telling the police everything that about that tragic night.

She will discover her sister’s secrets can’t stay quiet…but what if her own are the most terrifying of all?

Perfection

5 HUMUNGOUS STARS


Maddie and Grace are Irish twins, born just ten months apart. Some students in their private school senior class think they are twins. The girls couldn’t be more different. Outgoing, popular jock Grace shines in the spotlight, introverted poet Maddie think she’s the inferior sister.

After an overnight school trip, Grace is found on the side of the road and Maddie is missing. Grace has no memory of what happened when the police question her in the hospital.

SILENT SISTER is a story of sisters, sibling rivalry, love and finding your place in a world that sees you as an outcast.

I didn’t just like SILENT SISTER, I loved it. I enjoyed the story so much, I listened to the audiobook immediately after finishing. SILENT SISTER has all the feels and angst of a young woman on the precipice of adulthood wanting desperately to be deserving of love.

The plot

The plot twist was 🤩 (insane, mindblowing…)
Five starsss ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Would give anything to read this for the first time again 🤩😍

It wasn’t horrible but really??

I think the author probably thought she’d come up with a wonderfully unique plot twist, but it comes across ridiculous. By the end you have to question the entire story. She writes well but honestly, don’t use a credit. If you come across it for free it won’t be a waste. I just wouldn’t have spent a credit on it.

Great Story, Writing and Narration

Adding this to my ‘listen again’ collection; so good! No spoilers :) Karissa Vacker again brings a well written plot to life.

Wow

So glad I took a chance with this one. I was on the edge on my seat the entire time!

A read that will keep you guessing until the end

This book was phenomenal. It had me on the edge of my seat the whole time guessing what would happen next (and I was always wrong!). I wanted to savor the book due to enjoying the character development while simultaneously wanting to fly through it to know what would happen next. You won’t regret this read. So good!

Kept me reading, just characters didn't resonate with me personally

Kept me reading, just characters didn't resonate with me personally. Really enjoyed the retreat lessons.

Amazing and well written!

Megan is so good at capturing you right from the start! I couldn’t stop listening to it. It is very well written. It is something I am definitely having my teenage daughters read!

Great Storyline

The storyline was great because it was a mystery which sucked you in and there were also very good lessons about moving forward and letting go of the past, as well as accepting yourself and your faults, and not blaming others or holding onto hate or grudges.

Twist I didn't see coming!

I really enjoyed this book. It's a deviation from my typical thriller, but I felt that the author wove a story that was complex and interesting, which had me immediately hooked.

I don't always love listening to novels as audiobooks, but this one was great because all of the voices sounded different and it wasn't tacky sounding.

I'd highly recommend if you are looking for an easy read with a good story and characters you will fall in love with.
