The book is fine, It is about a sister always having to clean up her sister's murders. So it is kind of funny, she realizing that the murders cannot be accidents any longer. Maybe one is an accident, okay, maybe two. But 3 !! that can't be an accident, so her sister is a serial killer, and she always has to help her dispose of the body and clean everything.

The turning point of the plot comes when you can truly feel the protagonist's struggle between saving her sister or turning her in. She can't take it anymore, felling so nervous around the cops while her sister doesn't help. Furthermore, that is the thing I didn't like: her sister.

I hate her, honestly. Everything in me was saying: Just turn her in, she is not worth the struggle. The sister is constantly portrayed as someone who has never faced consequences. This is a personal pet peeve of mine - people who lack empathy towards those they hurt or fail to appreciate those who help them. Just let her clean up her own mess for once. But the sister was so gorgeous, she has always managed to get away with everything. It was amusing how men reacted in her presence, she had every man trembling at her feet.

And at the end, we finally get a glimpse of their sisterhood, and all the reasons why she feels compelled to help her, despite everything, she is her little sister and they both only have each other.
