“It looks like I am on an island all alone… Or, if there are others here, we have not found each other yet.” – 3.25/5 stars!

Attention! This book contains: dossiers, syringes, bruises, Peter Pan plays, bookstores, crumbs, online forums, baby teeth, hotel rooms, hijabs, domestic violence, bee bags and secret pen drives.

This chilling psychological suspense novel–think Strangers on a Train for the modern age–explores the dark side of love and the unbreakable ties that bind two sisters together.

Felix and Tilda seem like the perfect couple: young and in love, a financier and a beautiful up-and-coming starlet. But behind their flawless facade, not everything is as it seems.

Callie, Tilda’s unassuming twin, has watched her sister visibly shrink under Felix’s domineering love. She has looked on silently as Tilda stopped working, nearly stopped eating, and turned into a neat freak, with mugs wrapped in Saran Wrap and suspicious syringes hidden in the bathroom trash. She knows about Felix’s uncontrollable rages, and has seen the bruises on the white skin of her sister’s arms.

Worried about the psychological hold that Felix seems to have over Tilda, Callie joins an Internet support group for victims of abuse and their friends. However, things spiral out of control and she starts to doubt her own judgment when one of her new acquaintances is killed by an abusive man. And then suddenly Felix dies–or was he murdered?

A page-turning work of suspense that announces a stunning new voice in fiction, White Bodies will change the way you think about obsession, love, and the violence we inflict on one another–and ourselves.

What an uncomfortable, weird book this was! So what is this book about? I would say the main themes of this book are obsession, sibling relationships and domestic abuse (well… for the most part, that is).

Tilda gets a new boyfriend, Felix, and at first everything seems fine until Callie (her twin sister) notices bruises on Tilda’s arms and signs that Felix is being abusive towards her. Things start to spiral out of control and he is found dead. The real question is what happened to Felix?

Let me tell you straight up: there is not a single likable character in this book. The two main characters (the twins Tilda and Callie) are both terrible. Tilda is a complete narcissist and full of herself, and Callie is obsessed with her sister’s life – and was just pathetic if I’m being quite honest. Of course these characters were created with the purpose of making the book disturbing and intriguing, and I guarantee the author accomplished that!

I always like to read about twins in thrillers because of the strong bond and connection they usually have, and you definitely get some of that here. Callie’s love for her sister is really creepy and on another level. While reading the book I frequently questioned myself if there was more to it, because her behaviors and actions crossed the lines in so many ways.

Intrigued? Give it a try, then! It was weird, unexpected and creepy… but entertaining!
