Appears to fail WP:NBOOK. Unsourced, consists of nothing but a few lines of plot. I can't find any significant coverage of this novel, nor of the authors, who lack their own Wikipedia entries. Lennart97 (talk) 16:53, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep in some form: Found a couple of (mixed) reviews, and it has been translated into German. Possibly better to have an article about the trilogy of which it forms vol 1, or the duo of authors (they seem to write inseparably). The Times review of the next book refers to this one as a "bestseller". PamD 09:18, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @PamD: Thanks for finding these, I agree that an article on the authors or trilogy might be doable (preferably the authors, but I've had a hard time locating any significant biographical information on them so far). Do you have any advice on finding book reviews, by the way? I did try ProQuest on top of the customary Google searches, but came up empty handed. Lennart97 (talk) 09:42, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Lennart97: I think I googled both "blood sisters" keating and langani keating, and scrolled on past a whole lot of bookshops to look for anything else. PamD 12:03, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thanks, you're right; the RTE review is on results page 4 :) Lennart97 (talk) 12:08, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per PamD. A notable series of books as evidenced by reviews in major newspapers. pburka (talk) 20:00, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep because the subject passes WP:GNG and WP:NBOOK due to sources mentioned above, which include articles from The Times, Raidió Teilifís Éireann, and Independent Online. TipsyElephant (talk) 17:46, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
