#Blog Tour #Review Bad Sister by Sam Carrington @sam_carrington1 @AvonBooksUK

Sam Carrington is not one-hit-wonder – her second psychological thriller, Bad Sister is fanbloodytastic! Before my review, here’s the blurb …

Stephanie is scared for her life. Her psychologist, Connie Summers, wants to help her face her fears, but Connie will never really understand her. Stephanie’s past has been wiped away for her own protection. Stephanie isn’t even her real name. But then, Dr Summers isn’t Connie’s real name either.
And that’s not all the women have in common. As Stephanie opens up about her troubled relationship with her brother, Connie is forced to confront her own dark family secrets.
When a mutilated body is dumped in plain sight, it will have devastating consequences for both women.
Who is the victim?
Who is to blame?
Who is next?

My thoughts … 

When a new author gives us a debut as brilliant Saving Sophie, you can be forgiven for wondering what else they have to offer. Was that it? Did they pour everything into that first manuscript? Will book two live up to our expectations.

Well let me tell you, Sam Carrington is NO one-hit wonder!!!

Bad Sister is brilliant!

We start with two young siblings stood watching their father die in a house fire. This triggers a chain of events so terrifying that even I found myself chilled and tense!

I spent the whole time reading this with a complete sense of trepidation and fear, there were times when I felt my heart skipping a beat and found myself holding my breath as I whizzed through the pages.

Bad Sister is a completely enthralling psychological thriller, with everything in it that makes a book wonderful. Carrington has nailed it with this one, AGAIN!

As we meet Connie, there is obviously something that she is hiding, but what? Having recently move to the area to start up her own counselling business, she is starting to settle into her new life.

Then along comes patient, Stephanie. An agitated and paranoid girl, Connie really takes her case to heart.

As they continue with therapy, things start to happen to both ladies, but who is doing it and why?? What could possibly connect the two?

Bad Sister is brilliantly written, Carrington has a great way with words, really making every one count and meaningful. No page fillers, no fleshing out an element just for the sake of it. Which has, in turn, given us a sensational thriller which you will not be able to put down.

I felt ALL the emotions during this one too – I laughed, cried, and curled up to the hubby a little tighter as I was blooming scared!!!! And those jaw-dropping moments, well they are just awesome!!!

As we jump from past to present, we are taken on a journey so mind-blowing that its conclusion will leave your blood tingling!

Do not miss this one folks, it’s frigging awesome!!!!

My thanks to the publisher and author for inviting me on to the blog tour, I bloody loved this one!!
