Resumen del Editor

In this gripping sci-fi thriller, Svetlana Peterman has met her soul mate in Andrew Jovian, a young astronomer who works for Starbright International, the aerospace company his wealthy parents own. Once married, they make a home in Kirksberg, Pennsylvania, a small town famous for a UFO sighting that occurred in the 1960s. Svetlana is, for once, truly happy, except that Andrew’s family is strange, and not in a normal-strange kind of way.

Preoccupied with only two things—the night sky and carrying on their family lineage—the Jovians lack social skills and often pry into Svetlana’s personal life. Her intimidating mother-in-law demands she get busy fulfilling her reproductive duty to the family, and Andrew’s eccentric uncle seems to be able to read her mind.

Feeling bullied and wanting a career before motherhood, Svetlana takes precautions but ends up pregnant anyway. But that’s the least of her worries when she discovers the Jovians have a monumental secret that will change her fate (and that of her child’s) forever—a secret so powerful, it could alter the course of mankind.

They Will Be Coming for Us is a BlueInk Notable Book and a five-star Readers' Favorite contest winner.

Love the narrator ‘s voice!

The narrator did such a good job, giving the main character the perfect accent! Great job! I don't usually read sci/Fi but this was superb!

Fabulous story! Narrator’s voice is perfect.

The narrator really brings the story to life and makes you feel authentically connected to the protagonist’s struggle. The story has a fast pace, intriguing characters, heartbreak, and twists you don’t see coming! I highly recommend!

Great story!

Great road trip book. My mind never wandered listening to this story. Great narration. I felt like I was watching a movie. Highly recommend.

A Unique Story

They Will Be Coming For Us was such an interesting book. I featured it on my blog in my January 13th New and Notable post where I call out books that catch my fancy - I remember featuring it because it looked and sounded intriguing. The cover definitely jumped out at me. But little that I know just how crazy this book was going to get.

Throughout the first few chapters of this book, I kept going back to read the book description because I was unsure what genre I was reading or where the story was potentially going. It felt like it could be a thriller or a mystery, and then there was a little bit of Science Fiction thrown in. But I could tell just by the way it kept building and hinting at things it was going to have some twists and turns I couldn’t predict (and was I right!)

I’ll try not to spoil anything, and mentioning the twists and surprises is sort of implied if you read the description… But I will say that I went from not understanding how this was going to be the first book in a series to fully understanding it in a few short chapters at the end. The entire last quarter of the book is full of revelations and surprises, let me tell you the weird feelings I was getting throughout were both right and wrong.

Overall, the story combined with the excellent performance by Traci Odom made this a hybrid science-fiction/thriller/mystery that I won’t forget. It was a breath of fresh air. And I’m excited that there is more to this story.
