When Korede's dinner is interrupted one night by a distress call from her sister, Ayoola, she knows what's expected of her: bleach, rubber gloves, nerves of steel and a strong stomach. This'll be the third boyfriend Ayoola's dispatched in, quote, self-defence and the third mess that her lethal little sibling has left Korede to clear away. She should probably go to the police for the good of the menfolk of Nigeria, but she loves her sister and, as they say, family always comes first. Until, that is, Ayoola starts dating the doctor where Korede works as a nurse. Korede's long been in love with him, and isn't prepared to see him wind up with a knife in his back: but to save one would mean sacrificing the other...
Customer Reviews
I was so obsessed!
Yoh! The way I was so addicted to this book! Moreee is better than me because after my sister kills 3 people and asks me to help cover them up, I’ll have to fight her and then help her of course . But the book was so amazing! I like how it was an easy read. I loved Korede she was so patience, so relatable but I truly felt so sorry for her. I wanted her to speak up at certain times like girl stand up for yourself but I saw a part of me reflected in her in some parts of the book. She was truly a great character to get to know. Now ayoola on the other hand, when I catch her! It’s over for her! She kept me on the edge of my seat, she made me mad, she made me laugh she made me feel sorry for her. She was truly one of a kind. I think I read some parts over too quickly that I was like wait I need to go back and connect the dots. I gave the book a 4/5 because I was expecting a dramatic ending like I wanted more more more! I am adding this one to my favourites list for sure!
