Thank you Meg Smitherman for the digital ARC!!
This was a thrilling novella that I read in one sitting on a sick day. Meg Smitherman packs a lot in a short time frame, but the story and the characters felt flushed out enough for the length. I’m finding I like my horror in niche genre mixing and this satisfied me in all areas. There was a nice balance between the sci-fi, horror, and open-door romance. I wanted to explore the planet, get to know the characters, and unravel the mystery. I did think the ending felt a bit snipped, I didn’t want it to end; that being said, I would love to see Smitherman write a full length novel in this genre-mixer. I would eat it up!
