Narrator Tanya Eby brings to life the story of three half-siblings who suddenly find themselves living together. Wealthy Malcolm discovers he has two sisters, Callie, a young woman who has a tough life, and Keira, a 20-year-old. He brings them both home to live with him and their grandfather. Eby masterfully gives voice to the three. Callie grew up in Texas, and Eby gives her a slight hint of a Southern accent. She gives Keira a youthful timbre. The young woman is streetwise but unsure of her new situation, and the listener can easily empathize with her. Malcolm is at a loss as to how to cope with his new siblings, and Eby deftly brings out his confusion. S.B. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine

Mallery (Sisters like Us) spins a heartwarming but shallow story about people searching for security and love. In present-day Seattle, Delaney Holbrook is trying to move on after losing her fiancé and quitting her job. She turns to Malcolm Carlesso, who’s running his family’s company and has his own life upheaval in the form of two recently discovered younger sisters, Kiera and Callie. As Malcolm tries to raise Kiera, he’s dealing with Callie’s past as a convicted felon and her budding romance with his best friend, Santiago Trejo. To top it all off, someone is stealing from his company. Though the characters manage to figure out how to be family, there’s so much going on that the issues of the relationships are only surface level. Despite the complexities, this book is sweet and will appeal to readers who enjoy the intricacies of family drama. Agent: Annelise Robey, Jane Rotrosen Agency. (July)
