My thoughts on Sins of the Father by Sharon Bairden

Sins of the Father is hauntingly good. The subject matter is very difficult to read and while I abhorred the actions in the book, I couldn’t put it down.

This devastating story of child abuse, system failures, mental illness, and mystery will consume you.

Each character has their own past and demons working on them. They come together after years of abuse, not for support, but to destroy one another.

The book is absolutely full of triggers. While it is horrifying to read, I could not put it down.

I powered through the book and expect to be rehashing my bought for many days.

It’s hard to believe this is the author’s debut novel. It read like it was written by a seasoned psychological thriller aficionado.

If you want a tale that leaves you breathless and heartbroken, this book is the one for you.

I received a copy of the book for the competition. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
