All her life, Sara Gallagher has wondered about her birth parents. As an adopted child with two sisters who were born naturally to her parents, Sara’s home life was not ideal. The question of why she was given up for adoption has always haunted her. Finally, she is ready to take steps and find closure.
But some questions are better left unanswered.
After months of research, Sara locates her birth mother—only to be met with horror and rejection. Then she discovers the devastating truth: her mother was the only victim ever to escape a killer who has been hunting women every summer for decades. But Sara soon realizes the only thing worse than finding out about her father is him finding out about her.
What if murder is in your blood?
This book is a page turner that has you changing your mind over and over to the question: "Would you want to know?" Sara is at times very sympathetic but can quickly become annoying in her obsessiveness, but you do care for her and want to know what happens. Her biological father almost becomes more likable than her adoptive father, who was awful to Sara. I thought that the action was a bit drawn out and could have been shortened but the twists at the end were great!Author: Chevy Stevens

Is her father really the killer?! Wow, now I wanna know. How horrible
This is in my TBR SOON stack. Can't wait!
Still Missing was brilliant & horrifying, hopefully I'm going to find this one just as riveting!
Twists are good. Twists are very good. Glad to hear your reactions of this book. It's sitting in there on the top shelf, waiting for me to get to it. Soon, I hope.
I read such mixed reviews on this one, glad you enjoyed it.
So far I've just read the great reviews so I;m happy to read yours which is good but not great. I do want to try her first one for sure.
I do like the sound of this one. I'll have to try it and see.
I loved Still Missing so I have high hopes for this book too. I have this one coming up soon and am looking forward to it!
I will be starting this one soon...can not wait as Still Missing was one of my favorite reads!!
My husband and I both liked this one too! I felt a bit sorry for Sara's biological father even though he was a serial killer--he wasn't all bad. I thought it was kind of sad. Loved the book!
