This book started off so good. After the opening, I was so excited to read on and thought it might be a 5 star read for me. I was so intrigued, and the creepiness and mystery was so well done in the beginning. And then, it lost me.
I also found it really repetitive in a lot of the stuff it was saying. Specifically about the main character's feelings about the invasion. I was tired of her inner monologue.
I also felt like while this book did have a strong message, it didn't execute it well. Maybe it was just me, but I found that it was really slow at points and then the ending just threw a whole bunch at you and I was honestly just confused at what was happening. I'm still not 100% clear on it.
The concept itself was really interesting, and the writing was also really well done. Overall, a good book, just probably not for me.
Also, what happened to the cat?! Did she even try and go for it? It was mentioned so many times.
