I don't really have much to say about this book. It had a ton of potential I don't think it followed through on. The time skip was interesting but made the last fifth or so of the story feel really disjointed thanks to the introduction of a new cast of characters and set of problems.

I really like the

twist with Sam turning into a werewolf, but it turned out to function as just more wasted potential.

Overall, I think the author was just relaying events, not digging into the emotions, motivations, or reactions of the characters, which really really diminished the effect of almost every part of the plot, especially the twist.

Not the worst EDA I've read yet, that dishonour belongs to War of the Daleks easily, but it was definitely a plot better suited to a TV episode and mishandled as a book. Especially following Alien Bodies, this one really didn't do much for me.
