2.5/5 ⭐⭐⭐
Listen to Your Sister blends psychological horror with family drama, exploring trauma, survival, and the blurred line between nightmares and reality.
The story follows Calla, a 25-year-old struggling as the guardian of her younger brother, Jamie. When Jamie’s involvement in a protest spirals out of control, they go on the run and seek refuge in a secluded cabin. As Calla’s recurring nightmares of her brothers’ deaths grow more vivid, she starts to question whether they are just dreams after all.
I was really drawn to the premise, but I struggled with the execution. The novel is ambitious, tackling trauma and survival in creative ways, but it often felt chaotic and difficult to follow. The blending of reality and nightmare made it hard to stay engaged, and I found myself more confused than scared.
That being said, I really liked the sibling dynamics, and the audiobook narration was very well done.
Overall, while Listen to Your Sister wasn’t quite my cup of tea, I appreciate its originality and exploration of trauma through horror, especially as a debut novel. If you enjoy surreal, atmospheric horror with a unique twist, it might be worth checking out.
