Review: Tigers, Not Daughters

Tigers, Not Daughters by Samantha Mabry
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Torres sisters want to get away from their father and the neighborhood that is just as controlling.  Ana, the oldest sister, dies the summer after her senior year.  It is now a year later and the other three sisters are still grieving and feel haunted by her memory.  They don’t know if they will ever be able to leave Southtown.  When they start hearing strange noises and seeing strange things around the house, they begin to wonder if Ana is haunting them … maybe trying to tell them something.  What exactly is going on?

Tigers, Not Daughters is the first book in a new series with the same title.  Although there are supernatural aspects to the story, the overall storyline could be considered realistic fiction.  Is it a ghost story?  Is it a love story?  Is it some combination of both?  Readers will love to follow along as the characters explore their thoughts and traditions that entwine within their lives.  This is a quick read and readers will wonder how they finished it so fast.
