About this listen
A reluctant medium discovers the ties that bind can unleash a dangerous power in this compelling Malaysian-set contemporary fantasy.
Jessamyn Teoh is closeted, broke, and moving back to Malaysia, a country she left when she was a toddler. So when Jess starts hearing voices, she chalks it up to stress. But there's only one voice in her head, and it claims to be the ghost of her estranged grandmother, Ah Ma. In life Ah Ma was a spirit medium, the avatar of a mysterious deity called the Black Water Sister. Now she's determined to settle a score against a gang boss who has offended the god - and she's decided Jess is going to help her do it.
Drawn into a world of gods, ghosts, and family secrets, Jess finds that making deals with capricious spirits is a dangerous business. As Jess fights for retribution for Ah Ma, she'll also need to regain control of her body and destiny. If she fails, the Black Water Sister may finish her off for good.

Amazing Story
I loved the plot twists, incite into Chinese culture and the narration of the characters. I will definitely look for more books narrated by Catherine Ho, as well as novels written by Zen Cho.

Should be a TV show / Film 🌟🌟🌟🌟
absolutely loved this. I am trying to manifest this becoming a TV or film production . The Asian city neon eastheics blended with the ancient dwellings of gods and ghosts would be mind blowing. Black Water Sister is such a fantastic read. I can't say enough about it.

Perfection
Highly recommended. A cultural immersion at once enjoyable and frightening. Magical realism at the knife edge. Super ending.

Not bad, not great just good
The author had too many things going which unravelled one after another and at one point all the plot points we learned felt very contrived and complicated. I was worried how the author would solve all plot points and I was slightly disappointed with the execution. I feel like the author bit of more than they could chew and struggled to solve most plot threads in a satisfying way so in the end, they gave up. Which is a shame because some threads, that were secondary to the plot but very major to the main character finished completely open ended. I'm not sure if the author hopes for a sequel but as a stand alone it didn't feel exactly satisfying.
The main plot of the book was very interesting and I liked how it was a story of generations which fit really well into such a family based culture. The book had a lot of potential and it's a shame we left with so many important things left hanging.
