I have read The Winter People by this author and I wanted to read more of her work, so I picked up this novel. I liked the mysterious elements of this novel and I liked the voices of the characters. One mystery dealt with where Sylvie was and the other mystery materialized the night that Amy and her...

This is my second book by the author. I enjoyed my first endeavor, The Winter People, but I liked this one so much more. The characters were easy to connect with and there were plenty of twists and turns. And it had a good creepy feel like I used to enjoy when I read old Stephen King books back in t...

From Casual Debris. Jennifer McMahon's The Night Sister is a construct of two prime elements: plot and character. The two are entirely intertwined; just as character relies on plot for its development, characterization is also limited as a result of plot requirements. This produces unevenness as s...

Arg! So disappointing! The sad thing was that I had a feeling it wouldn't get better but I kept with it in hopes that it would! It never did.

"When Death comes knocking on your door, you'll think you've seen his face before. When he comes creeping up your stairs, you'll know him from your dark nightmares. If you hold up a mirror, you shall see that he is you and you are he." This was dark and lovely. I think this book turned me from ...

I read The Night Sister because I enjoyed Jennifer McMahon's book The Winter People. So, comparisons are inevitable. This book unfortunately just does not come together in the same way. Alternating between three time periods, the book gives bits and pieces of each story until they all come together ...

Wow! McMahon really knows how to make the unbelievable, believable!! I'm sure I've said this before but I think that's one of the things that makes a good story, great; making it realistic enough so it's not completely outside the realm of possibility. I actually hadn't even heard of her until I rea...
