I must start this review off by congratulating Oyinkan Braithwaite for the immense success she has achieved on her debut novel. Reminiscent of Chimamanda’s ‘Americanah’ in how it made me feel, the telling of black stories that go beyond the typical narrative is always so refreshing especially as an African in diaspora and this novel is no exception. I clearly remember sending my sister a screenshot of the cover and knowing that, I HAD TO READ THIS!

Just JJ’s MY SISTER, THE SERIAL KILLER by Oyinkan Braithwaite
This book captures the dysfunctional relationship a nurse (Korede) has with her younger sister (Ayoola) who is a serial killer. Now, although this sounds fairly dark and unsettling, Korede’s morbidly funny narrative makes this book surprising entertaining. In fact, the satirical nature of her narrative completely changes the tone of the book from a thriller into an amusing beach read.

THE CHAIN by Adrian McKinty
The hype surrounding this book all boils down to a very well written blurb for which I must first congratulate Adrian. It is very captivating and draws you in.
“You are not the first. And you will certainly not be the last.”
However, readers must be prepared for the uphill trudge that is the first half of this book.
