My rating: 4 of 5 stars
An unexpected surprise this book turned out to be. Blood Relatives by Jay Path is a short story of Upir, a teenager who is having the usual troubles with her parents, not able to connect to them and thinking they are drunkards. While opening a birthday present at her friend’s place, she begins to feel unusual things and soon discovers her actual pedigree.
The writing is fluent and capture’s the attention of readers immediately. I loved the ‘boom’ ending of the story. The story does create an impact even though seasoned readers can decipher the clues well before the reveal.
