That was 72 pages of perfection!

There’s something so utterly addictive about Addison Cain’s writing, and her prose immediately sucked me in to the story. Strangeways a dark, erotic sci-fi novella with a dystopian setting, and now having read three books this year with that exact same combination, I can say that this one was my favorite. I loved the aspects of psychological horror and mindfuckery woven into the story, even though I would still label this a romance and not a horror story. Phi reminds me quite a bit of Shepherd from Born to be Bound, as he often makes questionable decisions for Emily (even though he has her best interests in mind—I think? 👀🤣).

“You’re special, Emily. Resistant to suggestion. You see things the rest of your kind cannot.”

That niggling thought that had twisted in my brain from the day the ships landed, I had to say it out loud. “Because this is an invasion.”

“It is.”

I highly recommend this! I ate this up in less than 3 hours (with frequent interruptions).
