The Bookish Island's Book Review:
Sisterhood is Deadly by Lindsay Emory

Are there spoilers?

There could be.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is one of the books I read after the passing of Hurricane Maria here in Puerto Rico. With no water, electricity or internet I took to reading my books. I decided to not do this for the books I've read on 2018. But it has been 7 months since Hurricane Maria. And I'm happy to announce that now we have water, and electricity.

I read this book on November 6. All in one sitting. Mostly because it was a mystery and I thought I would love it.

"We'll be sisters 'til we die…"

Margot Blythe is a professional sorority girl. As a Sisterhood Mentor for her beloved Delta Beta, she travels to colleges around the country, advising on serious sorority issues (and picking up all the gossip along the way). Margot is thrilled when she's invited back to her alma mater to assist the Delta Betas—but tragedy strikes when their chapter advisor drops dead during a meeting, sending shockwaves down sorority row.

Shaken by the death—especially when foul play is suspected—Margot has to step up. Appointed the honor of serving as temporary chapter advisor, she now must manage the drama of fifty frazzled sorority women with secrets to hide; protect the house from the annual fraternity pledge pranks, which are more ominous than they seem; and worst of all, combat the ruinous rumors surfacing about a Delta Beta phone sex ring. If she wants to keep rival sororities and a suspicious (but dangerously cute) local policeman from bringing Delta Beta's reputation down, it's up to Margot to find out the truth—about whether a sister could have committed such an unimaginable sin as murder.

A sassy debut for fans of Susan McBride and Meg Cabot.

My Review:

I was disappointed by this book. I was expecting humor and drama. But I got a lot of terms I didn't understand, and I found myself forgetting what was happening with the murdering.

But there were good parts. Like the police officer, Ty. He was the only character I actually tolerated. Don't get me wrong I liked Margo. She was so dedicated and strong. Margot's a lot like Nancy Drew in this book. She wanted to keep her girls safe and solve the case fast. Get it over with so everyone can breath and feel safe again. Which I totally admire, but something about her made it hard for me to understand her. At times she acted immature, and that probably is what makes me feel a little annoyed by her.

In regards to the murder. I actually didn't get what was going on. I remember that a girl was found dead and that mid book another one died. Heck. I don't even know if that's true. Which doesn't bode well for the story. I did not expect who it was that was doing all of that though. I just didn't picture that person to be the one doing all those things because they just didn't seem like they'd get their hands dirty.
