Kelsey Waite (nee Sorenson) has been through a lot in her life. Years
after running away from an abusive, fundamentalist father who sold her
in marriage when she was only 16, Kelsey comes home one day to find
that her daughter has been kidnapped and her neighbor murdered. To find
her child, Kelsey must return to the place of her nightmares and
confront a madman who believes he is God's prophet.
SisterWife (a term that refers to the way multiple wives in
polygamous marriages refer to one another) catches your attention right
away by starting off inside Kelsey's daughter Tia's mind. Collins
switches easily between multiple points of view throughout the story,
giving each character their own unique voice and a different
perspective on the action.
Although the writing style sometimes threatens to slip into genre
romance, Collins has done a beautiful job of portraying the
relationship between Kelsey and Quinn. Never forced, the romance is
sexy, yet believable and the characters' reactions honest.
In addition, Collins has created one of the most frightening
madmen in fiction today, David Stone. The calculating, ruthless nature
of his actions paint a portrait of a true sociopath that makes you
shiver with the knowledge that he could be out there somewhere.
All in all, SisterWife is a book I would gladly recommend to my
friends along with a mug of hot cocoa and several uninterrupted hours!
