Invader

The other—a thief wrongfully imprisoned for murder—lives in fear of assault by a corrupt prison guard. Neither can overcome the invaders that threaten their survival without solving the mystery of the link that binds them.

4.25⭐️
I never considered myself a sci-fi fan, but this audiobook completely changed my perspective! I absolutely loved this unique thriller and can’t wait to explore more works by this author. "Invader" was truly brilliant!

A nice little bedtime story if you like science fiction

If you like the host, you might enjoy this one as well ... ditto if you're a trekkie ... I liked that it took me a while to figure out the plot ....

invader, my first read from author Margie Benedict. A page-turning thriller. Great storyline with great characters with great chemistry! I had this book figured out, except I didn't. I look forward to the next read from this author. "I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

2.75 Stars, rounding up. Decent audiobook, started out strong. I really enjoyed Kailey’s perspective, but Rose was insufferable. I think this story would have been more impactful if it was a tad longer to allow for the development of the characters. I felt like it was a lot of telling and not showing.

This is a really good read! I did really enjoy it! Great idea and it has been updated since it was first released in 2019. The extra polish has made this well worth will read & I do recommend! Great unexpected twist, you will never see coming! Don't read this alone at night!!

Decent short book following two storylines that the reader tries to connect until it finally clicks into place. Barely sci-fi until quite late into the book, then it comes in with some interesting implications of future AI. Not bad overall.

I liked the narrator and writing style but didn’t really live the storyline. I also predicted the end which makes it a little less enjoyable but I would be open to other books by this author

No review found. And while I remember reading this before I could not remember the premise or the ending until I got well into the story. Interesting read though strange premise (the experiment). Some violence and abuse but I did enjoy the story so a “more” rating for me.
