Lazy days

This was dark and oh so so good. I knew this book was about aliens going in, the blurb simply said: “They never meant to come to Earth. They were never allowed to leave … Welcome to Cottonwood”.

Sounds all kinds of super cool and right up my alley. What I didn’t realise was that this had *whispers*

The premise is remarkably similar to that of District 9 which is an awesome movie but I loved this so much more. This went into some dark territory and it was horrifying and equally riveting. Humanity at its most vile. But where there is evil there is good too, Sarah the heroine of the story is one of those too good to be true people. A person so kind hearted and self deprecating that you may even dislike them as they remind you of everything you are not as you sit there in negative town drinking from your glass half empty. I liked her.

"She wished she could have been like one of those girls in the movies, defiant to the last, the kind of badass bitch that would fight back every time and maybe even win once in a while. She wasn’t. No matter how many times it happened, she always ended sobbing on the floor in a huddled heap begging them to stop.”

She was the baddest of badass bitches.

One thing though which was not tidied up which is driving me crazy is what the hell happened to

Even with that small annoyance this book is incredible and I cannot wait to read more of the author’s books.
