Publisher's summary
The Other Black Girl meets Midsommar in this spine-chilling, propulsive psychological adult debut from highly acclaimed author Vincent Tirado, in which a married couple moves into a gated “community” that slowly creeps into a pervasive dread akin to the social horror of Jordan Peele and Lovecraft County—We Came to Welcome You cleverly uses the uncanny to illuminate the cultish, shocking nature of systemic racism.
Where beauty lies, secrets are held…ugly ones.
Sol Reyes has had a rough year. After a series of workplace incidents at her university lab culminates in a plagiarism accusation, Sol is put on probation. Dutiful visits to her homophobic father aren’t helping her mental health, and she finds her nightly glass of wine becoming more of an all-day—and all-bottle—event. Her wife, Alice Song, is far more optimistic. After all, the two finally managed to buy a house in the beautiful gated community of Maneless Grove.
However, the neighbors are a little too friendly in Sol’s opinion. She has no interest in the pushy Homeowners Association, their bizarrely detailed contract, or their never-ending microaggressions. But Alice simply attributes their pursuit to the community motto: “Invest in a neighborly spirit”…which only serves to irritate Sol more.
Suddenly, a number of strange occurrences—doors and stairs disappearing, roots growing inside the house—cause Sol to wonder if her social paranoia isn’t built on something more sinister. Yet Sol’s fears are dismissed as Alice embraces their new home and becomes increasingly worried instead about Sol’s drinking and manic behavior. When Sol finds a journal in the property from a resident that went missing a few years ago, she realizes why they were able to buy the house so easily…
Through Sol’s razor-sharp tongue and macabre sense of humor, Tirado explores the very real pressures to assimilate with one’s surroundings to “survive,” while also asking the question: Is it survival when you’re no longer your true self? Because in Maneless Grove, either you become a good neighbor—or you die.

Story
Sloane Parker is dreading her birthday. She doesn’t need a reminder she’s getting older, or that she’s feeling indifferent about her own life. Her husband surprises her with a birthday-weekend getaway—not with him, but with Sloane’s longtime best friend, troublemaker extraordinaire Naomi. Sloane anticipates a weekend of wine tastings and cozy robes and strategic avoidance of issues she’d rather not confront, like her husband’s repeated infidelity.

Iðunn is in yet another doctor's office. She knows her constant fatigue is a sign that something's not right, but practitioners dismiss her symptoms and blood tests haven't revealed any cause. When she talks to friends and family about it, the refrain is the same—have you tried eating better? exercising more? establishing a nighttime routine? She tries to follow their advice, buying everything from vitamins to sleeping pills to a step-counting watch. Nothing helps. Until one night Iðunn falls asleep with the watch on, and wakes up to find she’s walked over 40,000 steps in the night.

In June 1993, a group of young guerilla filmmakers spent four weeks making Horror Movie, a notorious, disturbing art-house horror flick. The weird part? Only three of the film’s scenes were ever released to the public, but Horror Movie has nevertheless grown a rabid fanbase. Three decades later, Hollywood is pushing for a big budget reboot. The man who played “The Thin Kid” is the only surviving cast member. He remembers all too well the secrets buried within the original screenplay, the bizarre events of the filming, and the dangerous crossed lines on set that resulted in tragedy.

It had good bones.
I really liked the premise of the story, however... don't waste your credit. The narration is just weird. Half human/half A.I. Finally the main character was way over the top with the victim mentality. It became more of the focus of the story. When wrapped up with the ending...it just made me think of the new social horror that was being spread.

A deeply troubling social paranormal horror.
I did love this novel, the horror was effective and enjoyable. I had more than a few moments of utter disgust at the body horror. All this being said the ending is one that’s leaving me scratching my head a bit. There are a few loose treads that get tied up in unsatisfying ways and a lot of lore that never gets explored. I’m not sure if the author intends to write more, if so I’d absolutely read any connected stories. But as a stand alone I do feel a bit like the ending betrays the core values of the main character.

Narration sounded off
The Narration was rough. The desire to finish the story was all that kept me going, and in the end I feel like I missed something anyway. The narrator did not sound realistic, until the very end when she introduced herself. It sounded like a different person. The story was read in a way that most humans do not speak. Some reviews claim AI, which I can see. It was very much like a computer was reading the story to us. The story itself was fine, but I’d recommend reading the physical copy

lots of internal conversation about racism, not evidenced in the story, just consistently anticipated and thought of. Generally, didn't add to the story, imo. The premise of the story was intriguing.

Is this an AI narrator?
The narration sounds like a computer talking. The dialogue is not as bad, but the bulk of the audio sounds like some AI voice. It's like a human did the dialogue and computer did the rest. If this is true, Audible should be making that clear. It was an annoying narration and I feel like I was scammed. The story was actually pretty engaging, but I would skip it because the computer voice was awful.

Beating a dead horse and bad narrator.
This book could have been half as long. There are so many times that the main character is saying the same things over and over. It's honestly not an interesting character. The female characters are obviously written by a man. It's boring. Many times I backtracked to see if I had missed something because the story just kinda jumps around. There are so many loop holes that don't make sense. It's just honestly bad all around. Don't waste your credit.

Don’t waste your audible credit
I was excited to listen, as the plot sounded intriguing however I was disappointed because the narration was choppy and the main female character was constantly talking about racism and it really distracted from the overall story. She just kept repeating the same racism comments throughout the book and I found myself getting frustrated and annoyed. I wouldn’t recommend this book, pick something else with your credit.

A DNF Book for Me
I got about 6.5 hours into the book and decided it was one to put down. The main character manages to make herself the victim in every single scenario.
Every person in this book is deemed either racist or homophobic, and the main character doesn’t let you forget she’s a victim of both in every part.
The story itself is really good, but from what I read there was race or homophobia brought up so often and I don’t believe it had anything to do with the actual plot.
She literally decided she was never going to see a therapist again because upon the first 10-20 minutes in the first session the therapist didn’t know she was part black.
The AI type narration isn’t so bad, it’s definitely noticeable but doesn’t sound awful. The voices are nice and it comes out fairly smooth.
Overall, try it out but personally one of my very rare DNF books.

The Narration is awful.
I liked the book, would've been better reading it my self because the narration is so bad it ruins the overall effect. It's robotic and goes in and out of normal.
