This sounds interesting! I'd have to be careful who I'd give that power to, though.
Might have to try this in the Mobileread Book Challenges Group.

This is what I've been thinking the whole time. It's like saying, "Well, yes, we're related, but we're not *really* related". The statement, "not related by blood" seems like a slap in the face, regardless of the situation, because while she / they may know if there's family discord, the general public does not, and that statement just screams "drama!" especially coming from Alex and not JE.
