There's so little YA space horror that I'm so thrilled when I get to read some! I can think of like . . . two other titles off the top of my head - 172 Hours on the Moon and Pitch Dark - and this is a worthy addition to that list!
The blurb of "Titanic meets Aliens" is so accurate that I wished that the aliens were a little less Ridley Scott Alien. They're not xenomorphs but the chest bursting felt way too similar to the films. I wish Johnston went a slightly different direction but overall, still really really fun!
