This was a fun romp. A sci-fi take on classic universal monsters in cycles of “humanity” vs terror. There are many nods to classic movies and literature, along with an engaging story all its own. 

The AI characters, Demeter and Steward have such great character ARCs and our human(ish) additions each bring unique perspectives that I loved. 

I had so much fun with this one, I ended up reading most of it in a single sitting.

Disclosure: I received a gifted ARC from the publisher.
