Which one is SHE?

This one was a much slow burn thrillers but still interesting and a great read. I still would HIGHLY recommend it!

It’s definitely a page turner and it’s a book worth reading in the dark/night.

Sister, Butcher, Sister is a twisty thriller told through well thought out multiple POVs and timelines. No narrator is reliable and readers can't be sure of who the killer is until the very end. I enjoyed being in the dark both atmospherically and storyline wise. I appreciated how the ending unfolded and will definitely check out other books by this author.

I gave this book 5 stars. I am not familiar with the author but will be looking for more from her in the near future. It was a great and creepy psychological thriller full of twists and turns!

I loved the way the POVs were set up, each sister and then the killer. The ending was not satisfying for me. It felt rushed and cut short. There were some side plots that felt like they ended up getting dropped and never brought up again.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley.

Oh, where to begin? I was so excited to get this book. The book blurb sounded intriguing. The execution not so much.
This book focuses on three estranged sisters:Kate, Aurora, and Peggy. Each sister is deeply flawed in their own way. Kate is the superstar lawyer who runs away at the first sign of trouble. Aurora is the golden girl, favored by the family, and happily married with children. Peggy is the troubled sister who is trying to move past her wild behavior of her youth. One of the sisters is a killer. The local police force is baffled by who is behind a string of grisly murders of men. Who is behind the deaths and why?
That blurb sounded really cool. However, this book was extremely hard to get through. There are flashbacks galore, but the timelines and POV shift so much. It was extremely confusing. A good 30-40% of the book could've been cut out to tighten up the pacing of the book. I nearly quit reading 10 times out of frustration. Towards the middle I didn't really care who was the villain. That being said, I was able to guess the offender by the end. The end was also rather abrupt considering how much the book dragged. I do think this book could be better with
More edits.
Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Intense is an understatement! Three sisters, three sets of memories, three responses that affect everything, in different ways. The long standing ripple effects of evil - but who is the killer? A killer who is more a victim than than those dead. A strong and suspenseful story on a powerful theme.

This was a good and fast paced book I loved every minute of this read I will recommend for anyone that’s looking for a sister to sister rivalry !!!

This was a bit of a slow burn for me, but once it picked up, I was hooked. The twisted family dynamics, buried trauma, and eerie atmosphere kept me guessing the whole time. I loved the way the story blurred reality and memory, especially with the chilling “SHE” perspective. It didn’t fully blow me away, but it’s a solid, dark debut that fans of psychological thrillers will definitely enjoy.

I really liked the creepy vibes of this book, but sometimes I felt that it was getting a little bit repetitive. I do have to say that that was my only complaint. I really enjoyed the mystery and trying to figure out the murderer. If you enjoy a good family drama with your thrillers, then I definitely recommend this one.

Thanks to Netgalley for the copy of this ARC. This will be out in June of 2025.

Such a page turner that had me clinging on for dear life. I wanted to know all the answer so bad. The atmosphere was creepy and spine tingling. I also loved getting different povs.

I really liked the premise and narrative style of this story! Trying to figure out who is the killer among three sisters? Color me intrigued. I think this is a great psychological thriller, and will be a great beach read for its summer release.

Thank you Poisoned Pen Press for the advanced reader copy.

This book is such an entertaining page turner. I was rushing to find out who the serial killer was. The family drama kept me hooked with all the twists and turns. The vibes are perfectly dark and creepy.

I really enjoyed this one!

This was a good book, but at times very confusing. It has muktiple pov’s and even though it’s a thriller it did often feel like a different genre.. The pacing was also off multiple times. What keot me interested was ofc the mystery of which sister was the killer. It was a good read.

The dialouge was fun, creative, and descriptive but this storyline needed a more cohesive map. This had a strong opener and the writing is very fun and gory at times. The potential here is high. For me it was too easy to get lost in the narrative. I got through 65% of this book and I needed to stop. I sat with this book for two days and had a difficult time deciding if I should finish or not. I do not like leaving books unfinished but ultimately for me it was hard to keep up with. Because I did not finish I will not be posting a review on social media. I would be interested to read future work from the author.

Wow. I went into this one blind, but read the synopsis after finishing. This is the rare time where a synopsis doesn’t totally blow the premise of the book, so that’s an added plus! The tension of the alternating chapters mixed in with the “anonymous” chapters was the perfect way to tell this story. I pride myself on my ability to pick out the bad guy within thrillers but this one truly kept my head on a swivel. I changed my mind about who was guilty AT LEAST 10 times. This book is gory and dark. The more we learn about the past of these sisters, the more upsetting things get. I am excited to see everyone’s reactions to this story.

Three sisters. One killer. And enough family secrets to fill a graveyard.

KD Aldyn’s debut thriller Sister, Butcher, Sister isn’t just another domestic noir – it’s a razor-sharp dissection of sisterhood that’ll make you side-eye your own siblings. The story follows Aurora, Kate, and Peggy Rowling, three women who’ve mastered the art of looking normal while carrying enough emotional baggage to sink a ship. Oh, and one of them happens to be a murderer.

Aldyn writes like she’s wielding a scalpel, cutting straight to the bone of what makes families tick – and what makes them implode. Each sister gets their turn in the spotlight, and with every chapter, you’ll think you’ve figured out which one’s the killer. Trust me, you haven’t.

The book hits hard when it comes to trauma, abuse, and violence. It’s not bedtime reading for the squeamish (there’s a content warning for good reason). But Aldyn handles these themes with the gravity they deserve, never falling into cheap shock value.

Where the story really shines is in its psychological maze. Just when you think you understand these women, Aldyn pulls the rug out from under you. The middle might drag a bit, but the ending? It’s like a punch to the gut – in the best possible way.

Sister, Butcher, Sister reads like Gillian Flynn and Karin Slaughter had a literary love child. It’s smart, savage, and impossible to put down. If you can stomach intense psychological thrillers, this one belongs on your nightstand. Just don’t blame me if you’re still awake at 3 AM, wondering which sister has blood on her hands.

4.5/5 – A debut that cuts deep and leaves a mark.

The premise of this book is great - three sisters with a shared history and trauma but each has a distinctive/diverging storyline (and one of them is a killer!). A lot of the writing seemed repetitive though and it went in circles instead of moving forward.

Thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the opportunity to read this book!

Sister, Butcher, Sister is an intriguing serial killer thriller featuring three compelling sisters, one of whom is a murderer.

The narrative keeps you interested as long held secrets start surfacing and the path to the answers emerges. It does have an occasionally jumpy timeline that can confuse but it soon gets back on track.

Overall a good crime novel that grips you throughout.

Thank you Netgalley and Poison Pen Press for allowing me the opportunity to read this as an ARC in exchange for my honest review of this book.

This story is told on multiple point of views which made the serial killer part more intriguing. There are detailed sexual content which made it feel like a different genre but the storyline was more thriller based. Some parts of the storyline was a little hard to follow, making the timeline get a little confusing at times. The mystery of which sister is the killer is the reason that keeps you wanting to find out more and who it is. I did personally have a hard time with some of the history’s and felt that some details lead you to think one thing but didn’t clarify what was actually happening. What was reality vs imagination? I think that was the missing link for me to score this book higher.

This book is not for you if you cannot handle gore, sexual content, child abuse, sexual violence/assault, discussion of rape, etc.
