I think P. D. Alleva might be the king of genre-mixing. Vampires, aliens, and thriller all mixed into one? It almost shouldn’t work, but it does! So many familiar creatures and tropes are mixed together in innovative ways in this book.
The action starts on page 1 and does not let up until the very end. It’s a proper thriller, with a new twist around every corner – and a proper twist, one that surprises you without being just there for shock value. The world Alleva has created is a full and immersive one, perfect for the horror-sci-fi fan.

For me personally, I would have liked a bit more depth to the characters, and a little bit more time to get to know them before the action started. I would have liked to root for them because I was attached to the characters rather than because they were slightly default ‘good guys’. For anyone who prefers more action-driven books though, I don’t think this would hinder your enjoyment of the book.
