The Insatiable Volt Sisters
The Insatiable Volt Sisters: A Novel | Rachel Eve Moulton
3 posts | 3 read | 8 to read
"Weird and exhilarating and funny and sad and disturbing and scary and poignant and righteous." —Paul Tremblay, author of The Pallbearers Club "Pure nightmare fuel." —Gus Moreno, author of This Thing Between Us It's the summer of 1989 and Beatrice and Henrietta Volt are coming of age on remote Fowler Island, their ancestral home and wild playground. Thicker than thieves, the sisters plot their futures, having no idea that their parents are separating. Or that the plan is to separate them. Ten years pass before Henrie gets a desperate call from her sister—their father has died suddenly and B.B. needs her to come back to the island for the funeral. But Henrie doesn’t want to go back. She’s barely put the island and all those rumors about missing women behind her. And isn’t it odd that she remembers nothing at all about the night she left? And why is she suddenly filled with fear about the quarry pond behind the house? Told from the perspectives of four flawed, fascinating women, The Insatiable Volt Sisters is a lush, enthralling fable about monsters real and imagined. From the unbounded imagination of Rachel Eve Moulton, the critically acclaimed author of Tinfoil Butterfly, comes another eerie, terrifying exploration of family and legacy: Will the Volt sisters inherit the horrors of their past or surpass them?

While this audiobook started out somewhat slowly and, as an audiobook, was a little hard to follow as it switched between four characters, once the wonderful madness began it didn‘t really let up. It‘s both a family drama and a monster story, which I love! Definitely unique and like nothing I can remember reading before. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

With a dark fairytale vibe and vibrant writing this story of two sisters transported me to their creepy island home somewhere in Lake Eerie.

It's a bit difficult to explain the plot without giving too much away, but I will say that I enjoyed this weird tale. Told from four different female POVs, with a bit of horror, a bit of magic, and even a monster, I found myself lost in this chilling look into isolation and family secrets.

Half-sisters Beatrice and Henrietta Volt are closer than twins for most of their childhood on their secluded island home in Lake Eerie. Split between 1989 and 2000, across different perspectives, the truths and secrets at the heart of Fowler Island slowly unravel to monstrous truths. A mixture of family drama, the supernatural & spookiness makes for a visual & original novel! It‘s an intriguing and fairytale-tinged read that I thoroughly enjoyed!
