Even better, I thought I had a pretty good idea how it was all going to end … I was wrong. The main body of the story takes place over the course of just barely twenty-four hours and I felt as if I walked with Molly and Neil for every minute of it. By the time Molly and her husband and the other residents of Black Lake, California realize things aren’t right, it’s way too late – but, they still have to try. They arrive quietly, unseen and unheard, but with alarming efficiency and speed. Told from Molly’s perspective, we are draw minute by minute into the weird and terrifying realm of an alien invasion. From day one, page one, I did not want to put this book down, but work and sleep required it in stretches way too long. They must venture out into an alien-infused landscape to find out who – or what – is taking over planet Earth and if salvation is possible. Like it or not, the Sloans can’t stay in their home. It glows and glistens in unearthly ways and falls from a purple-tainted sky. They quickly realize, along with the rest of the world, that this is no ordinary storm. Molly and Neil Sloan wake shortly after midnight to the sound of heavy rain. Or, I try a genre I don’t normally read and realize why.
Maybe the plot just doesn’t feel logical or the ending is abrupt and unsatisfying. The inability to connect to characters is all too often a big problem.
As much as I love to read, sometimes it’s a real struggle.
