Blog Tour: It Looks Like Us by Alison Ames


Hello, reader!

Today on the blog, I’m bringing you another blog tour hosted by TBR & Beyond Tours! The book I’ll be talking about today is a young adult horror that sent a shiver down my spine: It Looks Like Us by Alison Ames. If you’ve ever watched and enjoyed the horror flick The Thing, this book will be right up your alley!

Before I talk more about this novel, I want to thank TBR & Beyond Tours for giving me a spot on this tour.  I also want to encourage you to follow along with the tour, as there are a ton of incredible bookish content creators involved! You can find the tour schedule here. And, of course, I’d like to thank the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free e-ARC so that I could participate. It is, as always, much appreciated!

The remote terror of THE THING meets the body horror of WILDER GIRLS in this fast-paced Antarctic thriller.

Shy high school junior Riley Kowalski is spending her winter break on a research trip to Antarctica, sponsored by one of the worldโ€™s biggest tech companies. She joins five student volunteers, a company-approved chaperone, and an impartial scientist to prove that environmental plastic pollution has reached all the way to Antarctica, but what they find is something much worseโ€ฆ something that looks human.

Riley has anxietyโ€“ostracized by the kids at school because of panic attacksโ€“so when she starts to feel like somethingโ€™s wrong with their expedition leader, Greta, she writes it off. But when Greta snaps and tries to kill Riley, she canโ€™t chalk it up to an overactive imagination anymore. Worse, after watching Greta disintegrate, only to find another student with the same affliction, she realizes they havenโ€™t been infected, theyโ€™ve been infiltratedโ€“by something that can change its shape. And if the group isnโ€™t careful, that something could quickly replace any of them.
