HE HAS CALLED TO HER ALL HER LIFE, BUT SHE COULD NEVER REPLY. . .
Midonia, a freelance interplanetary transporter, is on thin ice after a fatal accident on the job.
So she doesn’t argue when she’s given the tedious task of flying devout Sister Irena to a remote fringe planet, where a tiny religious colony worships a strange deity called Anguish.
Until now.
When a solar flare grounds her ship, Midonia finds herself stuck with the cult-like sisters. Even worse, he comes to her in the night, his familiar voice louder than ever. He invades her mind with his hunger, sparking a ravenous obsession that will be near-impossible to escape.
He speaks to Midonia as if he knows her, has been waiting for her. He invades her mind with his want, sparking an obsession that will be near-impossible to escape. . .

Unfortunately, this has been my least favourite of Meg Smitherman's books so far.
It still has her signature blend of horror, sci-fi, and romance, and it's undeniably well written. The atmosphere is strong, and the whole story feels like a surreal fever dream.
For me, though, it just wasn't as creepy or unsettling as her other books, and I never found myself fully hooked. I kept waiting for it to pull me in, but it never quite got there.
If you enjoy eerie, dreamlike horror with a sci-fi twist, this one might still work for you ,it just didn't hit the same as her previous books.
Didn't hit as good as her other books , but enjoyable enough.
