This book is simultaneously very much written as middle grade and also absolutely horrifying???

Honestly I probably would have finished this book but I needed to return it. I didn’t get far in but it had a promising start.

What a thrilling read! I devoured this in a day. Such a great jumping point for younger readers who would like to try out horror/science-fiction! Without the trends of Goosebumps & RL Stine in today’s reading world, youth need more access to books like Bloom! Can’t wait for the next installment!

Ich hab keine Ahnung was ich gerade gelesen habe aber omg und wtf. Das Konzept ist einfach nur Little Shop of Horrors und die Corona Pandemie und es wurde einfach nur wilder je mehr ich gelesen habe. Aliens??? Ich hab vieles erwartet aber nicht das. Und dann Alien-Hybrids? Es hat auf jeden Fall Spaß she macht zu lesen, aber das ganze Konzept war sehr verwirrend.

For the first 1/4 or so of the book, I was HERE FOR IT. Sci-fi/horror featuring invasive plants? Yes! As more and more elements started coming in, though, I got less and less excited. Once the whole OMG IT'S ALIENS twist came up, I started rolling my eyes. When we learned OMG THE PROTAGONISTS ARE HALF ALIEN my eye roll all the way to the back of my head. The pace also started to drag in the second half or so, to the point that I was bored during the Intense Climactic Rescue Scene and just wanted it to be over. 5 stars for initial concept, 2 stars for final execution.
