There could never be enough x-files in my life so I was beyond excited to grab this NetGalley arc!! The story picks off pretty much where the “eleventh” season released in 2018 ends. In the book we get to see Scully and Mulder picking up where they left off, solving cases and resuming work on the x-files, and we also get to see them have a little slice of happiness long overdue!

The book felt authentic, and if I didn’t know better I’d say it was written by the shows screenwriters. It was well done! But that being said the writing style was unique and sometimes a bit tough to stay engaging for me. It felt too much like I was watching something (rather than reading), and was just a unique style that I struggled a little with. There were so many POVs and quick scene changes within the same chapter, I was also confused a few times and had to re-read. 

But overall, it was a ton of fun, and if you love the x-files, you really do need to grab a copy!! Definitely recommend. 

Thanks so much NetGalley, Hyperion and Claudia Grey for the arc.
