Postpartum psychosis or genius level foresight? Lena’s friends and family are about to find out.

Partum

If you have a hankering for a little something that is an exploration of grief that will also leap out at you with some heavy X-Files vibes, this is it! After seeing the beautifully creepy cover of this I knew I had to check it out. The structure and pacing were on point. This book made me realize I need more alien abduction/invasion books in my life!

The narrator, Cassandra Arnold, was a great choice for the audiobook. So many audiobooks with female main characters have narrators who all sound so similar to me. Cassandra’s voice was unlike any other audiobook narrator I’ve heard and I appreciated the uniqueness.
