Acerca de esta escucha
After her private school is rocked by a gruesome murder, a teen tries to find the real killer and clear her brother’s name in this “creepily potent story of a family legacy that gives terrifying shape to monsters real and imagined” (Kirkus Reviews) perfect for fans of The Taking of Jake Livingston and Ace of Spades.
Sunny Behre has four siblings, but only one is a murderer.
With the death of Sunny’s mother, matriarch of the wealthy Behre family, Sunny’s once picture-perfect life is thrown into turmoil. Her mother had groomed her to be the family’s next leader, so Sunny is confused when the only instructions her mother leaves is a mysterious note: “Take care of Dom.”
The problem is, her youngest brother, Dom, has always been a near-stranger to Sunny…and seemingly a dangerous one, if found guilty of his second-degree murder charge. Still, Sunny is determined to fulfill her mother’s dying wish. But when a classmate is gruesomely murdered, and Sunny finds her brother with blood on his hands, her mother’s simple request becomes a lot more complicated. Dom swears he’s innocent, and although Sunny isn’t sure she believes him, she takes it upon herself to look into the murder—made all the more urgent by the discovery of another body. And another.
As Sunny and Dom work together to track down the culprit, Sunny realizes her other siblings have their own dark secrets. Soon she may have to choose: preserve the family she’s always loved or protect the brother she barely knows—and risk losing everything her mother worked so hard to build.

As the fact checker for a popular magazine, Gabby DiMarco believes in absolute, verifiable Truths—until they throw the facts of her own life into question. The genealogy test she took as research for an article has yielded a baffling result: Gabby has a sister—one who’s been desperately trying to find her. Except, as Gabby’s beloved parents would confirm if they were still alive, that’s impossible.

Historia
It’s been ten years since Priscilla and her Zeta Phi Zeta sorority sisters graduated college. Ten years since they were all in the same room together. Ten years since one of them died. And now Lupé’s killer has been released from prison on a technicality, days before their ten-year reunion. Priscilla decides that the party must go on; Lupé would have wanted it to. And besides, an epic reunion bash might be the perfect distraction. Back together, the Zetas party like it’s 2012, and it’s wild, just the way it used to be. Maybe too wild.

The year is 1862 and murderous desires are simmering in England. Nineteen-year-old Sarah Bonetta Forbes (Sally), once a princess of the Egbado Clan, desires one thing above all else: revenge against the British Crown and its system of colonial "humanitarianism," which stole her dignity and transformed her into royal property. From military men to political leaders, she’s vowed to ruin all who’ve had a hand in her afflictions. The top of her list? Her godmother, Britain’s mighty monarch, Queen Victoria herself.

Like Delicious Monsters, Liselle is hitting a more adult horror, reminiscent of Mike Flannagans work. Clearly there is inspiration or they’re both just geniuses.
Hard start, but gets real good 1/4 through

This was a long story

Sunny Behre, the protagonist of the novel, is realistically flawed and unique as far as heroines go. A teenager from a wealthy Black family, Sunny lives a life of great privilege alongside the constant threat of racial bias against her and her loved ones. She navigates the world hiding behind the persona of a happy, peppy, "sunny" girl with a constantly positive perspective and a spotless reputation. On the inside, she is very different as her inner monologue depicts her as more pessimistic, manipulative, and strategic. She was honestly a joy to read as she navigated the struggle of grieving her mother and trying to protect her family as a series of murders threatened to destroy them.
Alongside the modern-day mystery are a series of diary entries written by Sunny's mother in the 1990s where backstory is given on the mysterious Milk Man who is still terrorizing the family. I love the dual timeline these entries provide. The way Sunny's mother annotated the diary entries also added a unique touch as she provided additional wisdom of hindsight as well as advice.
While this story isn't a sequel to Sambury's previous novel, Delicious Monsters, it clearly takes place in the same universe. It's not necessary to read that book before Tender Beasts, but if you do, there's a well-placed Easter egg.
Overall, Tender Beasts is excellent. Absolutely a give star read.
Perfectly Plotted

My main challenge with this book is the plot and the mystery and backstory feel too convoluted. I feel like this is something I’m seeing in a lot of horror and thrillers lately where there is all this twisty turny stuff when I feel like what really makes a story scary is the atmosphere and the connection of the themes and the darkness in the everyday. I think there are some good thematics here around greed and social mobility but that doesn’t get to sink in enough in all the stuff happening. And what happens when things are over complicated is that the characters end up doing a lot of explaining and telling, where what I want in a mystery thriller is to see the significance of the clues as they’re presented and figure it out alongside the characters. I truly feel like a lot of writing today is being influenced by the high serialization of TV where it’s all about the next turn and keeping people tuned in for the next episode. But if you defer and red herring and withhold too much it can be frustrating for readers especially if they’re not entirely sold on the payoff when it finally comes.
I also think the backstory with the mother would have been better and her childhood just told through a full on second POV rather than journal entries, because the writing of those sections sound very narrative rather than what someone would have written in a journal, and maybe giving more space to that backstory would have allowed it to be more fleshed out and what happened there more clear. It was actually quite interesting and I think would have been cool to follow that and the present day story alongside one another in a more direct way.
Despite these issues the payoff was just good enough for overall satisfaction and I’m into the writing, daring, imagination, and characters enough that I plan to continue the series.
Very readable and daring
