– What readers are saying about this truly disturbing novel –
‘Truly delicious horror’ ‘Jeezo, I love a bit of dark depravity fiction, but this was absolutely merciless.’
‘I was drawn to this book in the first sentence and could not put it down until the last sentence. It is heartbreaking and evil and sad with a little hopeful all at the same time.’
‘Make no mistake, the novel is carried by the heart of the characters, through the sick and the depraved, to the shining little core of hope that is sisterhood.’
‘The narrative here is what gets me the most. Written in first person, from the perspective of the gentler twin, it’s all thoughts and descriptions, with a lack of dialogue. This made the unfolding of the plot all the more terrifying’
‘A road trip tale from hell.’
‘Wow. This is dark and perhaps the darkest book so far from Sean-Paul Thomas. I love the way that whatever genre he writes he evokes the atmospheric feel of where it is set. I could feel the isolation and have to say I was impressed with this book.’
‘There’s a particularly fast pace here, which was excellent. The girls are no sooner released from some form of ‘survival training’ nightmare before being plunged into their next woeful task. The appearances of the clearly mentally ill father are sporadic, frightful, and completely concerning. His beliefs, his upbringing, and his treatment of his daughters, all point towards something we hope we’ll never encounter in our own lifetimes.’

The synopsis describes this book as “not for the faint of heart”, and that is not something to be taken lightly. This book is true horror, using some of the worst nightmares people have to craft this story. The book takes place in the Scottish Highlands, so expect a very strong Scottish dialect in the writing, especially when the father of the sisters is speaking. This book is part survival story, part serial killer tale, and part mysterious family drama that will make you hold on to your loved ones just a bit more closely than before.

We Love Quality Books reviews, My Sister and I written by author Sean-Paul Thomas.
My Sister and I, is a Crime, Thriller & Mystery. It is a Fiction/ Women’s Fiction published by Paul Thomas Publishing. Before we start reading the novel, there is a disclaimer that reads, ‘My Sister and I, is a work of fiction. Names, places and incidents represented are either the products of the author’s imagination….’
And boy! What an imagination author, Sean-Paul Thomas has. My Sister and I, is a book that can’t be put down once we start reading it. We, @welovequalitybooks, finished the novel in about a day and a half. Why? How? Such questions are relevant ones. And we have only one answer…
My Sister and I, is a book is gripping and unputdownable.
The novel has two protagonists. It is a narration of one of the sisters about her sister and her life. Unlike most of the children their age, the sisters have a tough and rough life. But with grit and spirit, they face the challenges. The novel talks about the special bond that twins share. My Sister and I, also highlights how differently the next generation thinks about parenting. How they always question every instruction parents give the children. It is a different question that the sisters in the novel are quite right in questioning their strict father’s instructions and learning.
Honestly, the father the twins had was quite a repulsive guy. He is the perfect villain that no one can identify with. Two lines are all I can give the villain of the novel. Sean-Paul Thomas, the author of My Sister and I, has done full justice to bring out the darkest shades of the character.
My Sister and I is a very good example of how heredity and environment play an important role in shaping up an individual’s personality. With very similar genetic composition and living in an identical environment, two individuals may turn out to be totally different. My Sister and I by Sean-Paul Thomas makes us think of another hypothesis…
Does self-will somehow overrule the heredity and environment theory?
The novel, My Sister and I, is gripping, scary, dark, and fast-paced. It is a book a book lover cannot miss reading. Yes, the book does get dark, but through that darkness, our protagonists find a new light- a new life.
Evil exists. My Sister and I, describes that in graphic detail. The novel, however, also points out that after every dark night there is a beautiful morning. After every storm there is peace. After every hopeless event in life, there is a crack of hope.
The novel My Sister and I by Sean-Paul Thomas has excellent team-work with an impressive Cover Design by Andrew Crains. The editing by Hannah Franchesca deserves a special mention. Author Sean-Paul Thomas and his novel My Sister and I, totally deserve full marks.
For this dark and twisted and perfect novel, My Sister and I, we @welovequalitybooks can only think of one score – 5 Stars.
