Middle of the line read for me. While I enjoyed the pacing and felt like this was a quick page turner, I didn't feel like the plot lines really resolved themselves/the sci fi space horror element really did enough for me.

For example, the extraterrestrial sentience just... didn't matter in the end? There's no resolution for our protagonist with her family really? The weird moments of love interest don't turn into anything, even a major plot point?

This one was just not as good as the first novel, but I know the sophomore novel can be really challenging, and have a lot of respect for S.A. Barnes and the craft!

ARC provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Ultimately this entertained me enough to keep going, but I was missing a bit more creepiness. I thought there would be a bigger twist, but this basically did what I was expecting it to. The ending was unsatisfying, and I didn't really like the main character—her past gets hyped up so much at the beginning, but it takes a long time before we find out what, exactly, happened. She was easily manipulated by the other characters, and, for someone who specializes in psychology, she's sure blind to her own shortcomings. There was also no need for the hints at a possible romance.

This book wasn’t perfect but I really really enjoyed it. It gripped me pretty early on and had an even building of tension through the end. There were a couple twists I wasn’t expecting.
