I???ve been leery of any blurb that says ???X meets Y??? to describe a book, so I???ll admit that I wasn???t so sure about what I???d get when I chose to dive into this novel because the blurb said it was ???Inception meets True Detective.??? Hell, I haven???t even watched True Detective yet so IDK how that comparison even works. Good thing I decided to just ignore that and go with the flow, because this really is quite the creepy novel. Sci-fi and horror play well together in the hands of a capable author, and this novel???s a great example of how awesome that mix of genres can be when the writer nails the mix just right. The only downside to this book is the ending: falls flat, does not take advantage of all that momentum leading up to it. That aside though, this was really fun to read, and would likely translate well onscreen, big or small.
