Denver is an autistic, non-binary pie aficionado and somewhat outcast in their small town of Muddy Gap. When a strange UFO-like light catches their attention, they are thrown into an extraterrestrial mystery. I really love Al Hess and the way he tells stories, and this is no exception. Denver is a great protagonist and watching xem find their place in the world and their own found family was brilliant. Hess specializes in weird sci-fi (I say weird affectionately). Key Lime Sky is a great blend of cozy, horrifying, and mysterious with an adorable queer romance in there to break up the tension.
