jake reviewed Alien : Enemy of My Enemy by Mary SanGiovanni
A Thrilling Alien Adventure
4 stars
This was a face paced horror filled ride through a collapsing back water moon, a Wayland Yutani miscalculation, and some Colonial Marines to help you get out of the whole mess. It was a fun read, and SanGiovanni's entrenches you into this Alien story.
This also has made me want to go see Alien Covenant, so good job!
If Alien is your thing, this read is worth it!

The Lights Shine
5 stars
A report gets a VHS tape sent to his house, and it sets chasing a story that is both unbelievable and yet compelling.
Reading like a noir episode of the Twilight zone, this novella captures you in its spiral and doesn’t let go. Lutz’s voice fills the prose deliciously making this a smooth suspenseful read.

WERE-FERRET
4 stars
A fun fantastic read. A group of friends get in over their heads with with jocks, outcasts and lycanthropes. Each finds their inner animal and one of the results is a were-ferret. (which is on the cover, so I don't think that counts as a spoiler) They have to come to terms with not only their new abilities but who they are inside. Predator or prey, survival is no longer just a game.
Really enjoyed this one, looking forward to more from these authors!
