Synopsis

A single lie becomes a defining moment in a family’s life in an unforgettable novel of psychological suspense.After being gone for two decades, Maddy’s half sister, Emily, is back in town to settle their late father’s estate. Emily’s not the troubled girl Maddy remembers from their volatile childhood. Apparently, all is well. It can’t possibly matter anymore that Maddy married Emily’s first love, but the pictures Maddy finds on her husband’s phone tell a different story. Suspicions of an affair are hard to ignore.Then again, Maddy hasn’t been herself lately. She’s increasingly confused. She’s losing items that are precious to her. She forgets where she’s going. The line between what’s real and unreal has become a blur. Even the damning photos have disappeared. Though her state of mind starts to become everyone’s cause for concern, Maddy refuses to believe she’s losing her grip on reality. But the one thing she can’t deny is the secret from the past that rewrote all their lives—a secret that’s ready to come out.

Goodreads review by Kimberly on August 10, 2022

Favorite Quotes: Maddy’s school reports often said, “Talks too much.” Her mom defended the trait as inquisitive. Her dad didn’t say much about it, but she could tell he wasn’t a fan of her endless questions. She’d never realized that talking could have landed her in this much trouble. Perhaps this wa......more

Goodreads review by Jonann loves book talk❤♥️❤ on April 14, 2022

If you are looking for love to hate characters, Virginia Franken's upcoming book Half Sister has them on a silver platter. The book starts slowly, but the ending makes up for it.

Goodreads review by Vikki on January 30, 2022

This book was really, really….odd. The synopsis says one lie becomes a defining moment. While one lie might have started the whole ball rolling, it takes several to unravel it. Very strange. Let’s talk about the characters. I couldn’t find one character that I could really get behind. But then again......more

Muffin Fluffin'!! 😳😯🤯😳😯 Wow! Holy cannoli! Oh my fluff! This book was so much more enjoyable then I had hoped or thought! Although I will say, at times in the middle it seemed to drag on a bit, the rest of it was so good! The back and forth between Maddy & Emily's perspectives gave so much insight in......more

Quotes

“Virginia Franken’s compelling Half Sisters takes sibling rivalry to a whole new level. Secrets, deception, backstabbing on top of some pretty wicked twists—what more could you ask for? Read it!” —Avery Bishop, author of Girl Gone Mad“Immersive and engrossing, Half Sisters is filled with revelations about chosen vs. given family, and complex, well-drawn characters who will go to great lengths to right wrongs and heal old wounds. Virginia Franken expertly peels back layers until we’re finally faced with an inevitable yet shocking conclusion. I stayed up late reading this artfully crafted and completely original novel.” —Kathleen Willett, author of Mother of All Secrets“A riveting psychological thriller by Virginia Franken: I could not put this book down. My pulse quickened page after compelling page as I fell deep for and into this tale of two very different jealous sisters, one dark heck-of-a-secret, and the ultimate unimaginable revenge. Five stars—a sun and a moon.” —Marilyn Simon Rothstein, author of Husbands and Other Sharp Objects
