Bloodlines

⚠️ Warning: Aspects of this book are quite dark. See content warnings below.

Alyssa Carter just wanted to fill in the blanks on her family tree. A DNA test was supposed to offer roots, not rot.

When the results arrive, they shatter everything she thought she knew about herself. Her frantic research leads her down a dark path that starts with the FBI at her door, asking questions about a serial killer she's never heard of. But the DNA doesn't lie. The connection is real.

The deeper Alyssa digs, the more the past unearths itself. Gruesome crimes staged like theater. Bodies left as messages. A family she never knew existed.

But someone is watching. And they don't want her to find the truth.

As her research spirals into obsession, strange things begin happening. Objects moved in her home. Threatening tokens left on her doorstep. The line between family history and present danger blurs until Alyssa can no longer tell if she's investigating the past or being hunted by it.

Some family secrets are buried for a reason, and blood ties can kill.

For readers who crave the twisted family dynamics of Sharp Objects, the moral ambiguity of Gone Girl, and the slow-burn dread of The Good Girl.
