    “The Deadly Sister is riddled with red herrings and told by an unreliable narrator, which make the surprise ending all the more shocking. Well-drawn characters, realistic dialogue, and suspenseful twists and turns add to the appeal. Teens crave mystery, and this book will suit them just fine.” —School Library Journal (starred review) 
     
    “The page-turning action and the potent relationship between the two sisters will keep teens’ attention right up to the final confession.” —Booklist 
     
    “Let me tell you, The Deadly Sister was so creepily good, I would rather you read it yourself . . . Eliot Schrefer is the author of another thrillingly creepy book—and serious page-turner—The School for Dangerous Girls. The Deadly Sister is a great follow-up and a perfect read-alike.” —ThisGrrlReads
