This week for the Fiction Friday feature, I am reviewing the fictional young adult novel, Tigers, Not Daughters by Samantha Mabry. This book was published in March 2020 and has a page count of 288 pages. The audiobook is read by Luis Moreno and is 6 hours & 39 minutes in length. The following overview is provided from the B&N page: The first time Ana Torres came back as a ghost, her sisters weren’t there. A year after Ana’s death, Jessica, Iridian, and Rosa, still consumed by grief and haunted by her memory, start noticing strange things around the house; laughter without a voice, shadows cast by nothing, writing on the walls. None of them have seen Ana, but they know she’s trying to send them a message—or maybe it’s a warning.
This was a fantastic read. I was reminded as I read it of the Virgin Suicides. It has a similar tone in the storytelling with a more intense mystical feel to it. I couldn’t put this one down and quickly did a re-read because I loved it that much. I think the thing I loved the most about reading this novel was that as I read, I could feel the familiar warm embrace of magical mysticism wrap around me. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes novels that bridge the worlds of reality and mysticism.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
Tomorrow for the Missing Person Saturday feature, I am highlighting the missing person’s case of Ahmed Mohamoud Omar. Next week for the Fiction Friday feature, I am reviewing the money & finance novel, Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez. Until then keep reading on; Nerd out!
