Soon the Great Harvest will arrive!

Honestly, ever since reading Into the Drowning Deep and discovering Mira Grant's twisted and dark but oh so addictive books, I usually just buy her books, without even reading the summary and I am never disappointed. I absolutely love this book with the twist about an alien invasion and a confused vanguard of said alien plant invasion. Of course there are references to Little Shop of Horrors (no surprise there!) but it was easy to like Stacia who never hid that she was an alien when she came back out of the forest after subsuming the human version of Anastacia. Such honesty is refreshing in an alien invasion! As is the confusion she faces when the day arrives that the invasion is finally coming and she doesn't actually know what is going to happen though she does have friends and a cat that she wants to protect. It is a wild ride, staying ahead of those human agents wanting to capture the alien hybrids like Stasia and Jeff as well as pick off their allies (Graham, Mandy, Lucas) and with that it is kind of easy to want to side with the aliens, even if they are coming for the great harvest. Yes, it is dark, but with love to light the way, love of friends and family and hope that a better way can be found if humans don't spoil all their chances. An absolutely fun read with a satisfying ending. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read this awesome story!
