Wow!! This book had me from the beginning! The plot was unusual and believable. I loved the story, the characters and the message. I couldn’t put this book down. I borrowed it from my local library to read it, but I will move buying the physical version to add to my personal collection!

3.5-4 stars.
Seee this is why we don’t trust people doing a piercing at the crib — tattoo parlors only. Avoid Flesh Pedestrians (FP).

As a fan of Nia’s NA BLOOD GIFT duo, this book was many things. A shocker (YA?! Super short?!), dual perspective, but also a bit flat compared to her previous works.
While the concept was super cool and fresh and an amazing intro to scifi for a non-scifi-reader, I feel like there were some plot points that weren’t fully fleshed out.
Why was [redacted] so hell bent on being mean? Was there a specific reason that FP chose to do the thing to these people? At one point [redacted] brings up the social justice issue of Black American vs. white woman tears…I’m not saying go full woke, but maybe pull at that a bit.

Overall, this was a short, quick read and I feel that if given like…5 more chapters, Nia could have rocked my personal world. In conclusion, not terrible. I would recommend this to newbies to the scifi genre and people that are fans of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Shouts to NG and Coloured Pages for my eARC and finished copy of the title!
