Alien: Echo by Mira Grant
4.0
For fans of the Alien franchise, this delivered. It's slow to get to the Aliens in the beginning, but I actually really enjoyed exploring the Zagreus planet and seeing the Xenobiologist profession in action.
Many thing weren't really "surprises" nor were there any plot twists you won't see coming if you're familiar with the source material. My biggest qualm was how slow we were to get to the actual Aliens and that it took awhile for the tension to feel "ramped up". I worried that a book didn't have the same grab or could make you as afraid as the movies do. Once we got really going though it stood on it's own as it's own thing.
