This is one of those books I wish I could love. It has a strong premise but the writing style didn’t resonate with me. It’s overwritten in a way that makes me feel like the author doesn’t trust the reader to follow her where she wants you to go. I think if it were a bit more restrained, it would be a great book.

For a debut novel, the writing was stellar. The story flowed so well and the interwoven race element was so good, but the ending was kind of confusing. The audiobook was great. After I finished the audiobook, I went to the library to get the actual book to see if reading the last few chapters would help with the confusion. It helped a little. Overall, a solid sci-fi horror.
