Two Sisters by Kerry Wilkinson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Megan Smart was tens years old when her older brother Zac went missing among the cliffs,caves and beaches that surround the small seaside town of Whitecliffe.

A decade later and a car crash has claimed the lives of both their parents.

For the first time since their brothers disappearance Megan and her younger sister Chloe have returned to Whitecliffe.

Megan says it's to get their parents affairs in order but the truth is that she has come back to confront her family's past after receiving a postcard on the day of their parents funeral.It had a picture of Whitecliffe on the front and a single letter on the back.

Z is all it read

Z for Sac

This is a gripping,intreguing mystery that's not bogged down by long drawn out descriptions and pages of padding.It's a entertaining thrilling story,I loved the places where the story was based from the village and its sinister inhabitants,the caves,the dark woods,the mysterious caves and the lightning tree.There was a mixed bag of realistic but mostly untrustworthy characters and I spent the whole book not knowing if Megan could trust any of them.

The story is mostly told from Megan's point of view although there are some chapters towards the end of the book that are voiced by Chloe.I would have liked to have read more of Chloe`s thoughts especially her feelings about her parents.Megan is a complex character who obviously had serious issues,the author wrote about these issues with sensitivity and a lot of thought for readers who also might have the same issues.My feelings about Megan constantly changed as the story unfolded,I wanted to like her but at times her thoughts and actions made her not very likeable.

The mystery of what had happened to Zach was very Intreguing and did keep me guessing.Megan found herself in a number of life threatening situations and quite a few of the chapters ended on cliff hangers causing the reader to have a very bad dose of just one more chapter syndrome.I really enjoyed this book and hope that this is the first in a new series,I would love to read more stories featuring Megan Smart.
