Ghosts Editorial Review
Black Water Sister by Zen Cho is a thrilling and culturally rich read that will leave readers wanting more. The author seamlessly weaves in family dynamics and cultural context while also including supernatural elements and plot twists that keep the reader engaged. The use of pidgin English adds to the immersion and the author's writing style is both accomplished and entertaining. While the book may devolve into violence and some elements may be confusing, overall it is an absorbing and enlightening read.
