I was recommended this by a friend who was into biology, and I can definitely say it was a worthy recommendation! I read it all in a handful of sittings over the course of twenty-four hours and this was because I could not put it down. Each revelation is followed by something even more tense and terrifying, and the ending leaves so much unanswered...leading nicely into a second and third book. An amazing read, all in all!

One of the characters uses hypnosis on the others, including a (ineffectual) command to kill themselves.zany25's review against another edition

Maybe I just love women transforming. A gaming friend recommended this to me because he thought I could relate to the protagonist. I feel called out but I enjoyed it immensely.

would i say it is incredible? no. but because of its flaws, i loved it.
sidenote: multiple major characters are confirmed to not be white in the sequel, but it is not brought up in this book at all.
