This is an incredibly fast-paced sci-fi horror novella featuring a female-driven cast. This is a new-to-me genre, and this book kept me captivated.
The premise centers on the possibility of bringing someone back from the dead. It explores the natural human desire to resurrect loved ones, despite knowing that doing so defies the laws of nature and the ethical boundaries of grief. This book offers a compelling exploration of human emotions wrapped in a thrilling narrative.
This was such a quick and captivating read! The story is both emotional and scary, and Nico Bell's writing kept me in suspense. I also thought the plot twist was brilliant.
I highly recommend it for fans of twisty endings and a mix of horror and sci-fi elements.
