Sisters of the Resistance by Jina Bacarr
Series: The Wartime Paris Sisters #2
Genres: Historical Fiction
Paris, 1942: Two sisters in Paris had their lives torn apart. Now they must choose – save themselves, or fight the Nazis to the very end…
I’d given up everything to fight for the Resistance. But nothing prepared me for discovering my sister was a traitor. Kept by a Nazi SS officer, outwardly she barely resembles my beloved Justine anymore.
But I guessed her secret. About her beautiful, fragile little child. The baby she’ll do anything to protect. And I believe that deep down she still knows what is right.
As the Nazis threaten everything we ever held dear, I know I have one chance. I must convince her to betray the evil she seems to have chosen. I need her to find her true self once more.
Because I need her to join the fight…
Could you choose your country – and what is right – over the person you once loved more than anyone in the world?
Unmissable, heartbreaking, gripping WW2 fiction, perfect for fans of Soraya M. Lane, Ellie Midwood and Jean Grainger.

Review
This is book two of the story of the Daisy Sisters suffered greatly at the hands of a SS Nazi officer. These sisters spent two years living very different lives with one working as a double agent and the other with the Resistance. I could not imagine going through the things they each went through. People were simply built differently then. We are far too soft to not only survive the things done but to fight in whatever way they could.
This book is so well written and while there is plenty of action as it is a war story there is plenty of emotion in it. I found myself in tears and utterly heartbroken at times. Ève and Justine go through so much that honestly if even one of them had laid down and said they would done I would have hurt for them but understood.
I don’t want to give too much away but let me tell you if you read nothing else this year pick up not only this one but the first in the series as well. They will leave you both shattered and overjoyed at the things the human spirit and soul will do to survive and ensure those they love survive as well.
