I just love everything by Kerry Wilkinson. He's a fantastic writer who always keeps you guessing. "Two Sisters" was no exception. Sisters Megan and Chloe come back to the seaside town of Whitecliffe after receiving a mysterious message they think could be connected to their brother, who disappeared ten earlier. This novel is so brilliantly crafted, and plays brilliantly with the theme of lies. Can you really trust anyone in the story?

Megan, the main character, is especially interesting with her eating disorder and the way it's portrayed. She's so very good at lying to everyone throughout the book. And she's so reckless, which in the last maybe 20 percent of the book started to shock me, before I realized that just like she isn't particulaly careful about wanting to keep herself alive in terms of eating, she isn't careful in her actions of strolling up to a car full of drugs with men inside instead of running, or getting onto a boat to look for the guns instead of just leaving. Megan may care about saving Chloe, but she has no regard for saving MEgan. One can only hope Chloe forces her to get help. ...

I loved all the twists and turns. This was impossible to put down in places and definitely a recommended read.

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book from the author.

Two Sisters By Kerry Wilkinson is well worth a read.
I would describe this as a psychological mystery but with the added bonus of it dipping its toe into the waters of mental illness and addiction to.
To summarise we have two sisters Megan and Chloe who after the death of their parents in a road accident, journey back to their parents holiday cottage in Whitecliff to stay, supposedly to sort out their affairs and get the cottage in order.
But for Megan, there are different reasons for her return she has received a postcard with the letter Z spelt on it.
years ago the girls older brother Zak went missing at Whitecliff his body never found, Megan the oldest sister is determined to figure out the truth of what has happened to her brother and she will bulldoze down whoever gets in her way.
Now the sisters are an interesting pair, having spent their time at different boarding schools growing up, these two are like chalk and cheese.
We have Chloe the younger of the two nearly seventeen a bit shy, but friendly and open, Chloe doesn't like to rock the waters and I get the impression she's a bit of a people pleaser. She's also a fabulous artist, A vegan and looks like her mother.
Now Megan, by contrast, is the exact polar opposite of her younger sister, she's prickly, bad tempered, goes out of her way to cause strife and shock in people.
there's a lot of deep-seated issues that are girl needs to get a handle on she is addicted to prescription drugs which she acquires through dubious means and as if that's not enough she is also suffering from an eating disorder, which her sister pretends to turn a blind eye too.
So as you can see there is an awful lot going on here.
As the story progresses truths that people want buried come to light, Megan puts herself and sister in extreme danger and some people are so not what they seem in Whitecliff.
Two sisters was definitely a page turner with a flowing easy storyline that sucked you in from the start. I especially appreciated Megan's issues, this added a whole extra layer to the storyline enriching it greatly. Eating disorders are a subject close to my heart, so it was fascinating to kind of get into the mindset of an individual suffering from this type of mental illness. The addiction storyline was also an extremely fascinating issue, we often see drug taking in novels but prescription drug addiction, even know so prevalent, is not explored so frequently in fiction.
But I have to say my favourite aspect of Two Sisters was seeing the two girls connect together after being virtual strangers growing up, now that was really charming indeed.
So, in conclusion, I found this a Fabulous book and I would definitely recommend this to other readers.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a free advance reader copy of Two Sisters by Kerry Wilkinson. This is my own unbiased opinion of this novel.

After the death of their parents, Megan and her younger sister Chloe return to the cottage located in a small seaside village. Both girls haven't been there in ten years. The sisters hardly know each other since they were always sent to different boarding schools and only saw each other occasionally on school breaks. The cottage is also the place where Megan and Chloe last saw their brother. Zac disappeared ten years ago and hasn't been seen since.

The villagers do not seem to want Megan and Chloe sticking around. Megan is determined to find out the truth about what happened to her brother. She questions everyone she meets and asks if they remember her brother. It's not until the end of the book that you find out what happened to Zac and how Megan and Chloe's parent's really made all their money.

Thanks to NetGalley, Bookouture and the author, Kerry Wilkinson, for a free electronic ARC of this novel. ( )

This was a well written book that touched on topics of eating disorders and self-injury while keeping the reader glued to its pages with the mystery and thriller aspects of the story line. This book was a true page turner.
