A review by fortheloveoffictionalworlds
Sins of Her Father by Kathleen Mix
4.0
I received an eARC of the book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
How do you feel when everything you knew about your foundations turned out to be a lie?
How do you cope? Do you try to move on? Do you try and find answers?
What if the answers you find aren’t the one you are looking for? What if you find something a whole lot more sinister?
Try and have the answers to these questions before you start the book.
And then read the book. Now answer the above questions again. Do you see a change in the answers? Or in your perception of the questions?
I was quite sceptical when I started reading the book and with good reason – the blurb.
Rape and rape victims are quite a sensitive topic and when you add in a child of rape into the mix – it has the potential to go either ways.
The first few pages, it is unclear as what is happening, i.e. it takes a while for us to get into what is exactly going on with Faith – but just when you get the hang of it you can literally feel the shock, the rage and absolute helplessness that Faith feels when she finds out who exactly her father is.
But I have to give her credit – she still keeps her rational head working and devices a plan to exact justice for her mother. Not Revenge but Justice but what she never counted on for her plans was Kent – her father’s stepson.
This is a brilliantly written book. And the wonderful part is that you can feel every single emotion that goes through Faith, Kent and even her father’s minds because the author did a brilliant job of making sure we got every aspect of in this book, ergo she gave us all three’s POV.
The plot itself is wonderfully handled, even the details and since it’s written beautifully, it was treat to see everything turn out the way it did in the end!
It’s a book that makes you think and wonder but most of all it makes you want to put yourself in the protagonist’s place to wonder whether you would have done everything the same way Faith did? Or would you have done something different?
I really hope that no one ever has a definite answer to these questions.
