Product Information

When CeCe finally reaches the searing heat of the Red Centre of Australia, she begins the search for her past. As something deep within her responds to the energy of the area and the ancient culture of the Aboriginal people, her creativity reawakens once more. With help from those she meets on her journey, CeCe begins to believe that this wild, vast continent could offer her something she never thought possible: a sense of belonging, and a home. Seven Sisters Book Five: The Moon Sister Amidst this turmoil, Ally finds herself entangled in a passionate love affair that promises to reshape her future. However, with her life upended, Ally decides to set aside her sailing ambitions and follow the trail her father left behind, leading her to the breathtaking landscapes of Norway.

Five years later, Charlie turns up unannounced, but before Grace can ask her what she meant by those words, Charlie collapses and dies. For much of the book you see events from Abi's point of view but some chapters are in Beatrice's voice. This moving between points of view plants a lot of doubts in your mind about who is telling the truth and who is manipulating whom. At various twists and turns in the plot I found myself distrusting all the characters. The characters in this novel are easy to follow and very engaging, some more than others. The author allows the reader to reflect on their own childhood memories, friendships, things that they shared and other things that they kept hidden. It is also a testament of the strength of character, which allows the traumatised person through acceptance and forgiveness to heal and move on with their life. Maybe terror and dread, once experienced, embed themselves into you even when the cause has gone, leaving behind a sleeping horror, which is too easily awakened.”Grief is the ultimate unrequited love.' A different way to think of death, to be sure. Bee's upwardly mobile lifestyle is thrown to the winds as she digs into the circumstances of her younger sister's disappearance. Her grasp on sanity seems a bit fragile, and as the story unfolds, she steps into Tess' shoes and moves into her flat in an effort to learn more. The morphing of Bee from her safely staid life into the more bohemian leanings of her sister is interesting. Through her exploration of Anna’s life, Ally embarks on a journey of self-discovery, seeking answers about her own origins and the untold secrets of her family. As the threads of past and present intertwine, Ally’s quest to find her place in the world uncovers hidden truths and unravels the enigma surrounding the missing seventh sister. Seven Sisters Book Three: The Shadow Sister It’s very obvious that all isn’t as it seems, but boy, when Grace does get to the bottom of everything that is going on, it certainly took me by surprise!

This was one of those books I really wanted to like; there seemed to be such a general buzz around it and I hoped it would live up to the hype. Unfortunately, I just found it average overall. The Sister is written alternately in the current day and the past. The chapters are titled NOW and THEN to differentiate between time frames and this worked well. During this time frame we follow Grace and Charlie as children, teenagers and Grace as an adult. Then she comes across a girl claiming to be Charlies sister Anna her husband Dan invites her to stay at their home, this is where everything goes out of control terrible things happen to Grace thinks someone in a red car is watching her then her kitten is killed then to top it all off someone tries to kill her. Grace had a bad start to her early childhood with her father dying and her mother absconding, leaving Grace to be brought up by her grandparents. She was bullied at school until she met Charlie (Charlotte) who became her champion and best friend. By the time they were 18 they were as close as sisters but then something happened and Charlie disappeared, leaving Grace bereft. Five years later Charlie returned promising to explain why she left but died suddenly before they got the chance to talk, leaving Grace to grieve again. Living with her boyfriend Dan, Grace is depressed and struggling to cope when she meets Anna, a woman claiming to be Charlie's half sister. They become friendly and Grace even invites Anna to stay with them for a while so she can get to know her better. However, all is not well as strange things are happening to Grace and she is convinced someone is watching her. Grace can't understand why these things happening to her and who could be behind them? Is the author being paid to advertise certain products? Why else is it necessary to tell us that Bea wears Emma Bridgewater oven gloves when removing food from the Aga? She seems always to dress in tea-dresses, usually made or designed by someone called Alice Temperley – but Abi prefers Gap.I seem to be a bit harsh when it comes to this book. But, I did find it engrossing to read, sure the characters made me wanna scream now and then, but nevertheless, the book was pretty good. There isn't really a-who-is-behind-it-all-kind of a book, more why-is-the-person-doing-this kind of book. The ending was satisfying and I'm looking forward to reading more from Louise Jensen.

Abi is still grieving and feeling terrible about the death of her twin sister Lucy. Bea and Ben are twins and Bea bears a striking resemblance to Abi/Lucy and they are pulled together in a powerful intimate journey. With attraction all-around and some fascinating interpersonal interactions, this book really plays on the power of complex and damaged characters. Once Abi has met with the two Twins her life will never be the same again and that's putting it lightly.Where was the suspense??? And, the psychological thriller part??? The constant is she crazy or not was pretty obvious. It was easy to figure out what happened to Lucy...and the later "twists". The story is told in two threads - NOW and THEN. These weave together well to fill in the gaps and bring us up to the climax of the book where secrets and surprising twists are revealed. Highly recommended to all lovers of psychological thrillers. Sister is a psychological thriller from the viewpoint of Beatrice. Beatrice communicates to her missing sister Tess through a letter or diary-like entries. The plot is centered around her attempts to find out the truth about Tess's disappearance.
