I hadn't heard of Sketchy before, but after reading the premise, it's now on my TBR!

Anyway, this is just a reminder that early humans were human. They took care of the sick and loved art & saturated fat.

Thinking that everything they did was a grim survival tactic?

That's usually us projecting our issues onto the past. Not what their own lives were actually about.

I just had a whole MySpace-era flashback 😂 (Love the outfit btw!)

This sci-fi horror novel is book 1 in a planned series, which I didn't realize when I first picked it up. Thankfully it wraps up a complete arc, even if some plot threads are left open for the sequel.

Agreed! This reminded me of a book I read with a popular title comp. Many reviewers were disappointed because they felt the book was A.) a rip-off of the title comp, or B.) wasn't enough like the comp.
Truly a disservice to what I thought was an interesting book on its own merits.

This looks adorable! I had to immediately go put a hold on it at my library.

I hope you enjoy it!

Mixed feelings on this one, tbh. It was marketed as mystery/thriller, but I didn't find it very thriller-y.

"I don't read a lot of contemporary," I say as I... read another contemporary.
