The Good Sister Audiobook Summary

In New York Times bestselling authorWendy Corsi Staub’s electrifying new thriller,a mother races to save her daughter beforeher darkest nightmare comes true.

Sacred Sisters Catholic girls’ school has hardly changed since Jen Archer was a student. Jen hoped her older daughter would thrive here. Instead, shy, studious Carley becomes the target of vicious bullies. But the real danger at Sacred Sisters goes much deeper.

The only person Carley can talk to is “Angel,” a kindred spirit she met online. Carley tells Angel everything–about her younger sister, about school, about the sudden death of her former best friend. Angel is her lifeline. And Angel is closer than she knows.

When another schoolgirl is found dead, Jen’s unease grows. There are too many coincidences, too many links to her past. Every instinct tells her that Carley is the next target. For someone is intent on punishing the guilty, teaching the ultimate lesson in how to fear . . . and how to die.

The Good SisterBy Wendi Corsica StaubMy " in a nutshell" summary...Carley is being bullied at school...manipulated online...and an old vendetta is leaving bodies everywhere!My thoughts after reading this book...This book was just what I was in the mood for on a hot muggy steamy summer day. The book alternates between allowing us to read pages in a diary from quite a few years ago...to Carley's life in a new school...to Angel...who is mysterious, shrouded, hidden and apparently has a vendetta towards tons of people in this town. This book is a true chiller...creepy...a tad predictable...but oh so much fun to read! Once I started reading...I truly could not stop.What I loved about this book...There is evil...tons of it...in this book. There is a weird evil mom and bullies and one of the nuns at Carley's school isn't so nice either...wait until you read about her! It's just filled with yummy terror. You never know who is going to get "knocked off" next! Or why...At first there isn't really any rhyme or reason to the deaths...and it's a mystery so you really wouldn't want me to tell you anything juicy about it anyway! My reviewer's lips are sealed!The best part of this book was the anticipation of what was going to happen next....there were hints and characters that I knew must have a connection...so...that part of the book...trying to figure out the why of everything...was awesome!What I didn't love...My heart went out to Carley...she was sad and lost and the constant target of the mean girls. Final thoughts...I found this book to be scary, provocative and unputdownable. It is the perfect book for beach or plane. Time will fly by as you try to figure out who did it and why! Again...a little bit predictable...but still fun to read...when you are not scared out of your mind!

Carly is being. bullied at Sacred Sisters Catholic girls school and also her friendship with Nicki had ended then later finds out that Nick has. committed suicide. Carly then finds a new friend named Angel and meets her on a website that's against bullying but Angel isn't the person she thinks she is and thats where the real danger at Sacred Sisters gets much deeper. The horror has begun.The secrets in this book slowly unfold. This book just blew me away! I kept thinking of different. situations that were going to happen on who did it and why? When I found out the real. situation I was shocked and surprised! No one will be able to solve it! THE ENDING IS SO SURPRISING, FRIGHTENING AND CREEPY! It was so addicting, suspenseful, and definitely twisted.I would not reccommend this book to those who do not like horror stories but of you like horror this is for you"

Excellent! Psychological suspense at its best! Betrayal, tears of joy, tears of sadness, you have everything in this book! Teenage best friends torn apart. He said, she said! What’s real? What’s true? Revenge lies at the heart of everything! This is extremely addictive.

This book was compared to Lisa Jackson and to Mary Higgins Clark, but it reminded me more of old school Lisa Gardner. Another comparison would be to Gone Girl and The Burning Air, just in terms of the fact that a major theme is "Crazy people go to extreme lengths to get revenge for real or imagined slights."And that is what makes this book chilling."Angel" is completely crazy and searching for vengeance and just will not be stopped. (Angel is kind of like the Terminator.)This book took a bit to draw me in but once we reached chapter three and I met Carley, I was hooked. (We spend the first couple chapters with Angel and then with a brief diary entry, so it took a few pages for the plot to really get going.)This book is probably not one to start late at night and chances are it will have you jumping at any random noise. Be aware of that going in. But it's also an incredibly tense and suspenseful book, one that's perfect to read curled up under a blanket, preferably by the light of one lamp. (Did that shadow move? I think it did...)Recommended.

Amazing! It was so good that I couldn't put it down and read non-stop until I finished it. The story was so well done, the characters were well thought out, and the ending about blew my mind. Another fantastic book by Wendi Corsi Staub, who has quickly become my can-count-on author.

A Heart-stopping Thriller!The Good Sister is a heart-stopping thriller with edge of the seat action. It is a rollercoaster of a ride with so many twists and turns that this reader felt her head spin.This is the first book I have read by this talented author. The storyline is intricate and well-developed with a myriad of characters - some likable, some not. But this combination of characters makes the story real and interesting and kept me turning pages. I don’t like to say too much about the story itself since it is quite involved. I think each reader should enjoy the surprises and by saying anything about the storyline I may ruin it for them.I highly recommend this book to all mystery/suspense/thriller lovers out there. It is an enjoyable read that will keep you up at night if you start it then until you can finish it.

Best $1.99 I've ever spent! I saw this as a book deal in my email and I'm glad I took a chance. I cringed a bit because there were a lot of teenage girls in danger and I have one at home. But, the story moved well and had a great plot twist. It's a fast read. I recommend it for a quick suspense thriller.
