My first ARC, how exciting! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher 😁

I was really excited about this, I liked the overall premise and that it was a novella. I think the whole mirror people concept is cool and the exploration of the self-hatred that the main character faces. Also the descriptions of the aliens and the more gorey moments were really fun. However, I did feel like this book suffered from being a novella. Too much information was given and the pacing was too fast for anything to really have an impact. It also felt like a lot of the same information kept getting stated as a way to move the story forward, but the book is tiny so it's not like any of the information was being forgotten. 

I guess Drew Huff has another book with a similar concept of alien taking the form of humans, but I don't think I'll be picking it up.
