A fast paced holiday alien slasher.

Despite being very juvenile in its writing style, this was a fun little read. I wanted more info on our Alien friend, as our human characters were lacking and hard to care about.

This was such an eerie Christmas horror story. I absolutely loved it! It reminds of Stranger Things and The Mist.

This was a fast paced read with decent tension but it could have been a lot better. All of the POVs felt the same to me (even the dog!) and nothing really surprising happens. The writing style is pretty simple and uninteresting and there were a few obvious errors (misspelled or missing words).

2.5

i gave this book a low rating not because it was bad but it was just so short i couldn't connect to the story at all like the beginning is good the characters get introduced, the setting is established etc but then the whole action bit felt so rushed especially the end. also fun fact i didn't know this had a sci-fi element i thought "the visitor" was going to be a normal serial killer so i was shocked when i read it was an alien. ( i think i could have liked it better if it was a serial killer becuse the whole "an alien comes to the earth to learn about humans so it hunts them with high technology" thing is overused and not fit for a short story in my opinion) in addition i didn't noticed any spelling errors or the "bad" sentence structure and punctuation others say it had so i can't comment on that. overall it was an ok read.
