Book Review for THE SISTER’S CURSE by Nicola Solvinic

 

THE SISTER’S CURSE by Nicola Solvinic

Published:  Berkley Hardcover Original; October 21, 2025
Genres: Mystery & Detective | Police Procedural | Supernatural Thriller | Suspense


The story: There’s something in the water in Bayern County…

Lieutenant Anna Koray thought she’d finally found solid ground and escaped her past as the daughter of a notorious serial killer. But when she rescues a boy from drowning—his body marked by strange symbols—she's pulled into an investigation unlike any she's ever seen. More bodies soon surface, all linked to the Kings of Warsaw Creek, the town’s wealthiest and most powerful men—and all bearing the same eerie signs.

 Locals whisper of witches, serpents, and long-forgotten murders. Some say Vivian Carson, the enigmatic bartender with a talent for hexes, is to blame. Others suspect a secret coven. But Anna’s search for truth reveals something far more sinister: a supernatural force bent on vengeance. As the body count climbs and the legends grow louder, Anna must decide what she’s willing to believe—and what she’s willing to sacrifice—to stop the curse before it consumes her too.

My Thoughts:  WOW!   I could not put this book down.  I stayed up late and woke up early just so I could read more of this story.   I was invested in Lieutenant Koray putting a stop to the Kings of Warsaw Creek.  I dislike people who think they are above the law just because the perceive themselves as more worthy or important than others. 

There were many ah-ha moments, moments that I thought I had it figured it.  Spoiler… I never had it entirely figured out.   The clues led me down a path and I followed it, then it would go a slightly different direction and I would follow it.   I love a book that keeps me having to put it together, keeping me guessing.    The Sister’s Curse is entirely that book and I loved it all.

Thank you Berkley for a copy of the book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
