Mehso-so

Dr. Laura Reynolds had a job she loved & was good at - until she lost it all. She saw a colleague committing a crime & in response he frames her for it & Laura takes the fall. Unfairly found guilty, stripped of her career & facing jail, plus the recent loss of her father, Laura is approached by a firm offering her a lifeline - a job working at their remote facility in Antarctica for 3 years. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf As her only chance to practice medicine again & being pressured by the justice system, Laura agrees & after attending her father's memorial, she travels to Antarctica. She has agreed to collect information for the government but when she starts to investigate, she realises that things are definitely not what they seem.

The initial set-up was really interesting & it seemed like it was going to be a decent thriller-type read (barring the fact that

OutsmartYourShelf the investigation into Laura seemed to be perfunctory & no-one thought to drug test Laura & her accuser), but partway through, the plot did a 90 degree handbrake turn into sci-fi territory. That was all well & good until about 40% of the way in, when a large chunk of the narrative is basically the main character having a long conversation with a talking car. Think KITT but with less personality. 2mo
OutsmartYourShelf This really slowed things down as although it's a convenient way to info-dump, it's not really thrilling for the reader. There was also zero chemistry between Laura & Joe so their sudden declaration of feelings is jarring. Overall, it was OK but the middle section bogged things down, the romantic chemistry was sadly lacking & the ending is bizarre. 3⭐

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Head of Zeus/Ad Astra, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
