I had so much fun putting together and publishing my post 8 Books on My TBR with Birds on the Cover earlier in the year, I decided to do another one.
This time, I've recently noticed I'm a sucker for a dark story about sisters, but don't worry, I'm not getting any ideas about bumping mine off! I've enjoyed some great stories about sisters in the past, but have the following four books about sisters (and with sister in the title) on my virtual TBR pile to read in the future. What are they?

My Sister, the Serial Killer
Oyinkan Braithwaite
Published in 2018 and set in Nigeria, the title My Sister, the Serial Killer says it all for this one. Korede's sister Ayoola is a serial killer, but instead of going to the police, Korede helps her sister cover up her crimes and clear away the evidence of her murdered boyfriends.I bet this is going to be tense!
Sistersong
Lucy Holland
An historical fiction novel set in the ancient kingdom of Dumnonia, Sistersong is about King Cador's three daughters, Riva, Keyne and Sinne.Published in 2021, and a re-telling of a murder ballad, I believe the narrative looks at the struggle between the old magic systems and an emerging Christianity.
My Sister Rosa
Justine Larbalestier
Published in 2016, My Sister Rosa has a brilliant premise... What if the most terrifying person you know is your ten-year-old sister? In this young adult novel, Che Taylor is seventeen and believes his younger sister is a psychopath. Written by an Australian author, this sounds like it's going to be a nice and creepy read, reminiscent of The Good Son.
I also featured this book in my list of 8 Books on My TBR with Birds on the Cover.
Sister
Rosamund Lupton
Published in 2010, Sister by Rosamund Lupton is a crime thriller about two sisters.Beatrice flies home to London when she hears her younger sister Tess is missing.
When looking into the circumstances surrounding her sister's disappearance, Beatrice discovers how little she knows about Tess's life in London.
Apparently the book includes text messages and emails between the sisters, so it sounds intriguing.
Do you have any books about sisters you'd like to recommend? Have you read any of these 4 sister-themed books? What should I read first? Let me know in the comments.
