I very much wanted to like this one and I was actually excited to read it.
Unfortunately I didn't like it as much as I wanted to like it. Don't get me wrong I did keep reading but some parts were slow but I kept reading even though some times I just wanted to quit reading .
It is well written but I just wish it was action packed.
I give this 2 out of 3

Okay, it should probably be 3 Stars but, Gillian Anderson read the audiobook and I’m obsessed with X-Files soooo… also, the epilogue made it somewhat X-Files like which is probably going to get me to read the 2nd book in the series.
Main characters name is Caitlin, and my names Caitlin ⭐️
Her sons name is Jacob, my best friends name is Jacob

Weird but fun. Slow then speeds up to a cataclysmic finale and a world-shifting epilogue. I can't recommend enough listening to this as Anderson herself is the narrator, adding a quality to the story that is difficult to describe. If you want an interesting exploration of obscure psychology, viscerally based in human suffering and served with a large dollop of supernatural eye-brow-raising, this is really quite fun and there are two more!
This seemed like an extended episode of The X-Files (totally not surprising), along with faint Michael Crichton styling. It's definitely set up as the exposition for a series, so the story doesn't move at quite the clip I would like. And it kinda lost me at the end. Lots remains unexplained, but that's the point, since it's the start of a series. I might get pulled into reading more, but though I kept up with this story and the characters to read the whole book, I just didn't get enough investment in it to really want to see the story through.
This is the weirdest, most convoluted plot... and I was hooked! I have never really read anything like this before, and I was so sucked in. I had no idea what was happening, or where it was going, but I loved it. I will read the next one, for sure. Hope it doesn't disappoint.
Note: I listened to this on audio because... Gillian Anderson. I assumed it would suck since it's a celebrity novel. Happy to say I was wrong! Her narration was fantastic too.

I just couldn't bring myself to keep reading it, the story while it's not bad it's just okay, nothing less nothing more. Characters for me are flat and i didn't connect to them at all
The story was interesting and compelling but the characters were a little one dimemsional and the writing as well. The cast was fairly diverse but the leads were not and ultimately the plot was kind of white saviour ish. I might read more. Not sure
