⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Ross effectively merges gothic horror traditions with sci-fi concerns regarding the U.S. space flight program. The narrative thrives on suspense and the subtle psychological unease felt by Elizabeth and Carolyn as they notice changes in their acquaintances without having concrete proof. By utilizing a bat to observe the alien vessel, the author maintains a sense of mystery and distance from the immediate threat. This approach suits readers who prefer atmospheric tension over explicit violence. The story works best for those invested in the ongoing arcs of the Collins family and their associates as they confront an unusual extraterrestrial menace threatening their home and society.
