(no subject)

Amazon just recommended to me a book with the following subtitle: "A psychological thriller with a brilliant twist you won’t see coming." What on earth? Who does that with their title? It doesn’t appear to be satire.

as soon as they say there's a twist i spent the whole book/film/etc looking for it :(

I'm assuming that there isn't one, actually.

I'm mostly boggled by the whole bit of using the second person in the subtitle. It's more appropriate for promotional material.

In the title?

The book is here: https://www.amazon.com/Sister-psychological-thriller-brilliant-coming/dp/1786810026/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470946115&sr=8-1&keywords=sister+psychological+thriller

But, yes, in the title. I'm wondering if it's effectively self-published because that seems like the sort of thing an editor (or any beta reader with sense) would step on hard.

It sounds dire already.
