Area X has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. The twelfth expedition arrives expecting the unexpected, and Area X delivers. They discover a massive topographic anomaly and life-forms that surpass understanding. But it's the surprises that came across the border with them, and the secrets the expedition members are keeping from one another that change everything.

Absolutely not for me

The twelfth expedition enters Area X.

This is not a bad book, Annihilation is just absolutely not for me. I didn't enjoy the premise, characters, world-building, story, all of it was dull verbiage. I cannot stand supernatural stuff, it reads like tedious bullshit to me. Which is, coincidently, how I'd describe this book. I got a strong “Lost” vibe from it, and if one considers that a good thing, I can see Annihilation being enjoyable.
