The Forgotten Sister by Caroline Bond

Erin is the youngest sister, Cassie is seventeen dating Ryan a guy her dad can't stand until things go wrong and he can't help his daughter as she shuts herself off withdrawing from the family.

For Grace and Tom, Cassie completed their lives their adopted daughter until a shock pregnancy also gave them Erin their true genetic daughter.

So when Cassie starts to question her adoption, life starts to change dramatically with her mood worsening and her parents being pushed away as she posts online an appeal for information about her adoption and gets a reply from Leah, her sister, supposedly.

Then Tom and Grace get a phone call that day their daughter has been in an accident months and then they realise their family could be in danger, they know Leah and a lot of truths about her come to light, she is 'damaged' from her childhood and they couldn't help her...

Full of intrigue this is a book that will leave you questioning and guessing parts of the plot until the very end. I have to say I didn't love the end I would've liked to see a different outcome maybe darker even but that's just me you'll have to read it to judge for yourself! However I liked the character variation for the family being a mix race family and the use of adoption too as in adult fiction books it's rarely written about, the sisters had a good realistic relationship in the family and Leah was an understandable character when you learn of her past. I really loved the book and am going to eagerly await more from Caroline.

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
