One thought on “Unraveling Isobel”
Unraveling Isobel by Eileen Cook is one of the most refreshing novels I have had the pleasure in reading for a long long time. Written in the first person, we are able to step into Isobel’s intriguing and eventful life. Not only is it thrilling and suspenseful, super funny and has a hint of romance (oh là là) but it is such a relatable topic. This novel has the perfect amount of light humor for Isobel has the most down to earth, frank and sarcastic way of dealing with situations that will surly make you laugh. However, a magical and eerie turn of events occurs when her dead stepsister visits and leaves clues towards her murderer. You will feel your heart beating faster and faster as you flip each page, desperate to find out what happens next. I honestly enjoyed with novel from the beginning to the end and finished it in one sitting and here I am still wanting more. Cook does an amazing job in capturing the reader’s attention with her heartwarming morals, crazy plot and witty situations. I found it to be addictive and fast paced and although it is a light read, this book also possesses an unnerving dark side that keeps you guessing until the very end. I absolutely loved Cook’s writing style for I thought it has a very connectable vibe and we as readers are able to sink into this amazing piece of literature and find ourselves not in our room but with Isobel as she discovers a shocking secret that lies closer than she thought. I feel as if the book would please readers from any genre because although it is situated in a realistic environment, there is a magical twist and a mystery to be solved and not to mention the romance and humor this book provides. Overall it was a great read and I recommend this to all!
