Chris Harlan should have died in the cave. Everyone else did.
What dragged itself out of that sinkhole wasn’t quite the same man who went in — and he knows it. Something followed him back. Not in the air. Not on his skin. In him.
Whispers in the static. Eyes in the mirror that don’t blink when he does. Memories that don’t belong to him — and some that do, but not the way he remembers.
Now, towns are going quiet. Roads are folding in on themselves. And the cave — whatever it really was — is waking up beneath the surface again.
Chris doesn’t know if he’s the last line of defense… …or the beginning of something worse.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.5 stars rounded up) so stoked I was able to get an ARC for this! The book is Annihilation meets The Descent (one of the greatest horror movies ever). Not too bad for their first book. some parts were really tense, others I felt a bit lost. But I figured it all out in the end. Will be interesting to see what the follow up does with the story.
