Sister, Butcher, Sister

Sister, Butcher, Sister by KD Aldyn is an absolute knockout of a thriller and easily my favorite read of 2025 so far.

This family life based novel dives deep into the lives of the Rowling sisters; Kate, Aurora, and Peggy, three women who seem ordinary on the surface but hide dark, dangerous secrets. One of them is a ruthless serial killer with a chilling method of hunting men, and the story keeps you guessing about which sister it is right up to the very last page.

The narrative’s multi-perspective structure is masterfully done, allowing readers to step into the minds of each sister, including the killer’s own unreliable and haunting viewpoint. The tension builds steadily throughout, with twists that twist and turn until you’re left breathless. The story moves fluidly between past and present, revealing layers of trauma and memories connected to the family home that the oldest sister, Kate, has recently bought back. This house holds both warm nostalgia and terrifying shadows from their childhood, forcing the sisters to confront how their past shapes their present.

If you’re a fan of suspense and dark psychological thrillers, this book is a must-read. It’s wild, gory, and packed with intense emotions that will leave you feeling all sorts of conflicted, even strangely sympathizing with the killer despite the brutal crimes. Expect a story full of sharp surprises, rich character depth, and a chilling atmosphere that lingers long after the last page.

Sister, Butcher, Sister hits shelves on June 10, 2025, and trust me, you’ll want to have this one on your reading list all year long.
