● I LISTENED ON LIBBYTHROUGH MY LIBRARY
MY THOUGHTS●●●
I wasn't sure what to expect with this…the only other books by Erin Bowman that I've read have been YA Westerns. This is way different than those books. I'll admit, early on, I thought she was jumping on the bandwagon, so to speak, with this deep space horror/thriller based on a crazy virus. It felt an awful lot like Illuminae. Within no time though, that thought was out of my head, because I was hooked on this compelling story. With zombie-like symptoms, this mysterious virus is seriously frightening. It does end on a total cliffhanger, but I'm not even upset about that because I cannot wait to listen to the second book which is set to come out in July of 2019.
