The Sisters Will Dance by Brian Wheeler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The main character, Blaine, is an addict. His life seems predisposed to addiction with no cure in sight. When he inherits a farmhouse in Monteray, he doesn’t know why or how he’s going to live there. His only real concern is how to avoid the cravings gnawing at his skin. The truth hidden in his blood.
This is one of those books that you shouldn’t take three months to read like I did. From the first chapter, Wheeler thrusts you into a hyper-realistic world full of lush details and metaphors. It’s so detailed that you have to keep track of who’s who because it’s somehow a key to unraveling the underlying mystery of who Blaine really is and why he is or isn’t important.
This is not the typical fantasy novel. A certain mysticism weaves its way through the story, and right when you think you know what’s going to happen next, the complete opposite occurs.
Needless to say, I really liked it.
