Talk about out of this world!!

This book had me enthralled, as a parasite alien life form overthrows space stations one by one, with such stealth and precision that humanity doesn't even realize it's happening.

I hope to see this story adapted for tv screens one day

4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Special thanks to Netgalley for providing me with this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

The disconnected stories made the book seem kind of disjointed, and the ending was very abrupt. Otherwise it was okay. Definitely creepy.

I absolutely loved this book this was a continuation of Darcy's short story station 331 this book is very detailed on several stations or moons with different characters that all encounter a unknown organism that mimics its host and either kills or infects all those around it. This book is a great sci fi book to read and I would love to see this book be turned into a movie since it's similar but very different to some other amazing movies out their like the thing definitely worth reading this book

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Jam packed with suspense, action and dread. I hated coming to the end of this book. It was brilliant.

I've read a couple of books by this author and I enjoyed most of them, but I think this was my favorite so far! I loved how scary it was at times and I think this is an amazing read for October.

I’ve heard it’s great and I would love to actually review it but unfortunately my phone won’t allow me to open the books on net galley I will be questioning people about this but until then there will be seven books with this message written! BUY IT THOUGH! They are pretty and I’ve heard great things!

i really enjoyed reading this book, the characters were great and I enjoyed the use of aliens in a different way. I look forward to more from the author.

A gripping science fiction novel about aliens being able to inhabit people's skins. On a remote space outpost, female protagonists are forced to fight for their lives, and also try to stop the spread of this invasive species. Well written.

Sadly i'm not able to read this one. For some unknown reason it didn't get sent to my kindle . and i know i hit download that day i got it.

Is that your colleague or is a parasite wearing your colleague's skin?

I understand this book was first published as a serial story. Since I'm an impatient person, I'm glad that I read this after it was gathered together into one book with five parts.

One thing I noticed right away in this book is that there are a lot of strong female protagonists. I appreciated that.

Each segment (novella) of this story takes place on different stations across space that humans have colonized. Some of the stations are very small and some are huge.

Then unexpected, unwanted visitors in the form of slimy bioforms start hitching rides to these station on meteors, asteroids, or what have you. That's when the horror starts.

I liked the different viewpoints from each of the five sections. I enjoyed the characters. And the monsters were scary. I enjoyed the book...and again, I'm glad I got to read it all at once rather than waiting for installments.

I really enjoyed this sci-fi book. I didn't realise when I was first approved for it that the book is essentially made up of five short stories/novellas. For such shorts it is amazing how much action and character development has been achieved and although they are all separate stories they all follow on and kind of link together to make one very enjoyable read. This is the first time I have read this author's work but I will now be checking out their other books.

This has been out for several years and has lots of helpful reviews from readers smarter than I, so I'll just recommend it for scifi fans.

Thanks very much for the review copy!!

A scary and wonderful sci-fi story that was original and kept me on the edge of my seat. Darcy Coates is fast becoming one of my favorite authors.

Darcy Coates quickly became one of my favourite writers. I haven’t read all of her books yet but I’m on a mission to do that.

Parasite is another one of her brilliant stories which kept me turning the pages even when I could barely keep my eyes open. The story focuses on the parasites, how humans fight them. We don’t get to know the different characters too deeply, we only get glimpses into their lifes right when the parasites are coming.

Parasite is set in a future which hangs on a balance, a future that could be lost forever, a future that could be saved though. I wish someone made a series which is based on this book.

I highly recommend Parasite becuase it is past-paced, horrifying and exciting and bloody and scary.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy,

I can always expect a high level of terrifying creepiness from Ms. Coates, and this one definitely delivered. The descriptions of the creatures are frightening. The atmosphere is dark and ominous. The action is fast-paced. The only fault I found is the structure of the book kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I would've liked to see a common character throughout to tie the pieces together or for the parts to flow together better. Otherwise I enjoyed this one. Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for granting access to this book in exchange for an honest review. I will post this review tomorrow to my Bookstagram and companion Facebook page @thatreadingrealtor.

The suspense in this book is killer. From the very beginning it sets up how isolated the stations are, and it really helps drive home the suspense and horror. There isn't much detail in the stations or within the world, including of the origin of the life form. That being said, all that is made up with the how gripping the books events are and keeps you wanting to know what happens next. I definitely recommend to anyone who loves sci-fi and space novels. It's a very quick read and definitely enjoyable.

Every once in a while, i enjoy reading something totally different to what i would normally read. So glad that i chose to read 'Parasite', as not only was it very enjoyable, but had me gripped from start to finish. Recommended.

(Awaiting Amazon to publish my review).
