They infect the strong and healthy to use as hosts, leaving the rest of the human population to rot.

Forced to drop out of school to support the family farm, Sheldon struggles to find anything positive to focus on his life—especially his drifting parents and social life.

But when the ruthless aliens make their terrifying selections and the town is now under siege, Sheldon must focus on an escape plan. Desperate, and on the run, he assembles an unexpected group of friends, hoping to find answers—hoping to find help. However, It's not long before he discovers the horrifying truth behind these rapidly evolving aliens and their terrifying yet curious vision.

And for Sheldon, maybe survival isn't about running.

Maybe survival isn't about fighting.

Maybe survival is about making sacrifices—heartbreaking, and terrifying sacrifices.

Received as an audio review copy from Story Origin, this an honest review. Narrated by Cotton Andrade, delivers an exceptional performance as They Came From The Trees is one heck of a hauntingly stark thrilling ride. From the moment bizarre aliens came while absolutely frightening the aliens were helpful by healing those damaged by disease or injury. Then everything everything changes for Sheldon, his father and how neighborhood kids when these kind being become ruthless hunters by slaughtering anyone within reach... or capturing others for some unknown reason. In the race to survive means putting trust into strangers while desperately trying to find out what these sentient creatures want. Mesmerizing intense, poignant and characters driven... definitely worth your time.

Highly recommended.

We follow Sheldon as he tries to survive monsters that have invaded their town, monsters that seem to do both evil things but sometimes also good things to people. What is going on?

Good narration by Cotton Andrade
Looking forward to the next installment in the series.

I was entertained by this story, but as a mature reader I could appreciate that it was written for a younger audience by the occasional recaps of events that were happening and the young protagonist's angst. I admired the author's creative writing, and it seemed that because of his style of writing the characters' actions and emotions seemed more realistic. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Cotton Andrade's narration was good, but in some of the longer narrative passages, his voice developed a more mechanical regularity of tone and inflection. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Sheldon and his dad had no clue what was about to come when creatures descended from the sky; curing some incurable diseases, but randomly attacking others. As they desperately tried to make sense of it all whilst rescuing their neighbors, Sheldon suddenly found himself unconscious after a truck attack separated him from his father. Even as threats loomed large around them with monsters having both evil and benevolent sides, there remained a cause for hope - believable characters making realistic decisions that led up to something many thought impossible!

From the very beginning it’s been non stop action. One incident after the next. Can’t wait for the next installment.

I really liked a lot of the characters. I even liked the overall story idea, but so much of it did not make a lot of sense. People had reactions and emotions that were not realistic at all for the situations. I hated the end so much. The ending definitely made me sorry I’d invested the time in this book.

It had potential but fell short
