A Book Feature & Review of Sister, Psychopath
By, Maggie James
Synopsis
When they were children, Megan Copeland adored her
younger sister Chloe. Now she can hardly bear to be in the same room as her.
Megan believes Chloe to be a psychopath. After all, her
sister’s a textbook case: cold, cruel and lacking in empathy. Chloe loves to
taunt Megan at every opportunity, as well as manipulating their mentally ill
mother, Tilly, a woman blind to Chloe’s sociopathic nature.
Chloe currently has her eye on James Matthews, Tilly’s
employer. James, however, is preoccupied with his own conflicts. Both his
marriages have been failures. Now Megan’s former lover, Toby Turner, is causing
him to question everything in his life.
When Tilly, under Chloe’s malignant influence, becomes
dangerously unstable, the consequences turn ugly for everyone. Megan’s world falls apart, allowing
long-buried secrets to rise to the surface.
Her sister’s out of control, and there’s little Megan can do about it.
Until she realises Chloe is targeting Toby Turner, and planning to step well
beyond the rules…
A study of sibling rivalry and dysfunctional
relationships, Sister, Psychopath tells the story of one woman’s struggle to
survive the damage inflicted by her sociopathic sister.
My Review:
Stunning and twisted are the perfect terms to describe Sister, Psychopath. The dysfunctional relationship between Megan and Chloe is like none you've ever seen. Chloe is a troubled woman that will do anything to get what she wants. This is the second novel that I've read by this incredible author, and I cannot help but predict great things from her. Her writing is so engaging and quick paced, that you get lost in the story, and simply cannot put it down until the very last word. This book was such a suspenseful read and I doubt I'll be able to forget it!
'Sister, Psychopath' will be discounted to 99c/99p in the US
and UK Amazon stores from November 3 to November 6.

About the Author:
Maggie James is a
British author who lives in Bristol. She writes psychological suspense novels.
The first draft of
her first novel, entitled His Kidnapper’s Shoes, was written whilst travelling in
Bolivia. Maggie was inspired by an impending milestone birthday along with a
healthy dose of annoyance at having procrastinated for so long in writing a
novel. His Kidnapper’s Shoes was published in both paperback and e-book format
in 2013, followed by her second novel, entitled Sister, Psychopath. Her third
novel, Guilty Innocence, has now been published, and like her first two,
features her home city of Bristol. She is currently editing her fourth novel,
The Second Captive.
Before turning her
hand to writing, Maggie worked mainly as an accountant, with a diversion into
practising as a nutritional therapist. Diet and health remain high on her list
of interests, along with travel. Accountancy does not, but then it never did.
The urge to pack a bag and go off travelling is always lurking in the
background! When not writing, going to the gym, practising yoga or travelling,
Maggie can be found seeking new four-legged friends to pet; animals are a
lifelong love!
