Korede is a well written character, and I like a lot of the side characters too. Muhtar ❤️
Overall though, it was a pretty decently paced book, and I liked the short chapters. Also the background into their childhood and things with their father was pretty good too. I’m not sure this story could’ve gone in many other directions but I feel like the last little bit fell a little bit flat and left me wanting a lot more than what was given.

Audio book was ok a little hard to understand sometimes as narrator read in native slang language

This story shows just how un breakable the bond between sisters is, and the length they will go to protect each other.
I don’t know how to talk about the characters in a way that won’t make the story off putting, because the reality is that there are no good characters here. Ayoola is a serial killer, after all, and Korede enables her. I think a lot could be said about how their father’s abuse plays into how they came to be like this, and especially why Korede goes to such great lengths to protect Ayoola. I did feel bad for Korede all throughout the book, because I really felt how trapped she is in this toxic relationship; how her bond with her sister might be too strong for her own good.
Dr. Tade might have been just another sympathetic victim of Ayoola, but in my opinion he was kind of an ass. (Long rant incoming.)
Anyway, despite all that I really enjoyed reading this book, and would definitely recommend it. Especially if you’re in a reading slump.
