Rating: 3/5
I received this book in the August 2016 Comic Bento box. They stretched the theme, which is animals, to include this book. It features animals of a sort, but they are aliens. Once again, Aspen provided a variant cover for the trade in the Bento box.
The story is okay. A girl named Celeste that disappeared years ago returns to her childhood home, which is now occupied by another family. The young man, Hunter, that lives there takes her in while she tries to figure out her purpose. In the days leading up to the local high school's homecoming, a group of aliens attacks, targeting Celeste. Hunter's friends are injured and end up being transformed by Celeste. Together they are set to fight off an alien invasion.
I really liked the art on this book. Sometimes the Aspen books can have art that is over the top or just objectifying to women. There are some elements of that here, but the art makes sense within the story so it didn't bug me as much. Plus, the elements tied to the aliens are pretty cool.
I can see this book appealing to a teen audience, specifically young men.
