This book was chock full of typos and grammatical errors, but it was independently published, so I imagine the author was also the editor, so I'm willing to look past the mistakes. Also, some of the character dialogue was painfully cheesy. The ending, however, was great. It was sitting around 2 - 3 stars, but the ending was good enough to bump it up to 4. It's a fun read.

Oh, a very classical body horror story! It has a very great pace, that lets the tension build until all hell breaks loose :P
Entertaining, exciting and with good characters, I'll keep reading this series :D
Matt Jenkins does a great job with the narration, contribution to the creep factor with his great choices in tone.

I am trying to read more lesser known authors on Kindle Unlimited, and this came recommended to me on Reddit. It was an interesting concept with an interesting universe, but not really my thing. I would have given the story a higher rating, but it was in desperate need of an editor. I know I am being nit-picky here, but every time the author used the word "Manoeuvre", I had to do a double take. Yes, that is how they spell it in Canada and the UK, but I have never seen it written like that and every time I saw it, I always thought, that can't be right.
I found the beginning of the book to be really slow and I struggled to get through it. It picked up around the 20% mark, but didn't really get going until at least halfway through. The characters were okay, with the alien being the most memorable of the bunch. I honestly didn't feel anything when any one of them were killed off. The banter between crew members was also a bit cringey, but I see this with even successful, famous writers. It is really hard to pull off.
Overall, it was okay, but not really my thing.
