4.0
The author provided me with an e-book copy of this novel, but this is an honest review.
I enjoyed the continuing coming of age story of James and Amber, just not quite as much as in the previous book The Thing in the Woods. James and Amber are dealing with the psychological effects from battling a primordial horror. They also have some relationship hurdles to overcome.
This novel is a science-fiction story in which the characters defend the city of Atlanta from an alien invasion, which makes it quite a pivot from The Thing in the Woods (which was a modern fantasy/horror story). We get new characters with Javion and more of an emphasis on the government agents (who are basically the Men in Black). Similar to the first book, I enjoyed many of the pop culture references in this novel. I also liked that the author mixed in some political issues (dealing with racism, sexism, anti-Semitism, economics, etc.).
Overall, the book is a fun sci-fi adventure story in which the characters have to survive while fighting off an alien invasion. If that’s your cup of tea, then I think you’ll also enjoy the story.
