"I’m adopted so the premise of this book excited me. Especially as someone who also did a DNA kit to try and get answers about my health history. Well, as it turns out, i hated it. (Spoilers ahead) there were too many plot holes, unexplained jumps in the plot and questions left. There was just too much going on, as well. You had an adopted person, the adoptive family, the bio family, victims, half siblings, a s3x cult, three killers with different MOs, three POVs that have different timelines. Even if the writing was better, it was too many things crammed into one book. I also didn’t like that one killer Samson/Poe became that way bc of his ongoing SA as a foster child. That gave me the ick and was extremely reductionist and stereotypical. Overall, i was really disappointed and felt like this could’ve been a great story but it missed the mark badly. "
