The Need switches between Molly’s unusual work life and her distressing home life. This combined with the science fiction aspect, makes it an unforgettable read. This book was intriguing and It pulled at my mind, compelling me to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. But it was a bit confusing and creepy for me at times. All in all it was a good read. It held my interest and kept pulling me back into the story. Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for this book in exchange for an honest review.

An extremely interesting premise that combines a domestic story about the trials of motherhood with a more fantastical premise. The idea of this book reminded me of a TV series I won't name for fear of giving away the early twists, but it took the seed of that similar idea and took it on a much different path. It asked intriguing questions about who is right, who is wrong, which person is actually the villain in the scenario (it seems obvious at first, but then you have to ask 'what if I was in this person's shoes?'). I wish there had been a bit more about the artifacts and where they came from, but in the end the unanswered mysteries don't really matter that much. A very quick read, with short cliffhanger chapters that will keep you reading long after you mean to put the book down.

A tad confusing...maybe I’m just tired from the business of my own life...I’m still processing this story. I’m giving it 4 stars for the unique premise and for genuinely creeping me out at times.
