When Gyre Price lied her way into this expedition, she thought she’d be mapping mineral deposits and that her biggest problems would be cave collapses and gear malfunctions. She also thought that the fat paycheck - enough to get her off-planet and on the trail of her mother - meant she’d get a skilled surface team, monitoring her suit and environment, keeping her safe. Keeping her sane. Instead, she got Em. Em sees nothing wrong with controlling Gyre’s body with drugs or withholding critical information to “ensure the smooth operation” of her expedition.

Surprisingly enthralling and beautifully dark
Revisado: 11-13-19
To be totally honest, usually I don't take time to review stories. But this one definitely deserves some props. There are only two characters, and the whole story takes place inside of a dark cave with just the main character, Gyre, there alone with only Em's voice to guide her.
The author does an amazing job of painting a vivid scenery, as well as entangling you deep into the twisted confusion of Gyre's mind, as she struggles to keep herself from crossing the line between caution and paranoia.
There are so many twists, and the story is a great dark and creepy narrative to listen to. The narrator does a great job of bringing Caitlin Starling's words to life.
All in all I will say this: I returned no less than THREE other books before getting this one, because I was not getting drawn into the stories. I was sure this would be a fourth but it managed to win me over and suck me in till the very end.
P.s. Also love the gay tie in, it's so refreshing to see more LGBTIA+ representation, and not in the cliche way.
