3.5 stars

For as much as i love Alex Cross series and discovering a new to me author in J D Barker, this writing duet was a rollercoaster of emotions and twists and turns.
I enjoyed the subplot and how the "family" bond was portraited between Michael and Megan, how their tremendous childhood changed them and everything they had to endure and go through just because the adoptive family found them the perfect candidates for their researches. In a way it's just unthinkable but at the same time very believable,as you can never get to really know what happens behind closed doors in any household.
So many murders and suspects, so many questions and what ifs, all adding up for a good suspenseful story.
I have to say though , i just couldn't wrap my head around the short chapters and the different pov that we get with all the then and now events and that's why the lower star rating.


many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my review copy.
