You don't actually have to broadcast the fact that nobody likes talking to you

You sound so fucking pretentious lol

The second and third book have some excellently crafted terrifying scenes and a lot of building tension. The mystery is not ruined by reading more, if anything it deepens.

Annihilation is the best in the trilogy, and if you're not too interested in Control you may struggle with the second book. What I found more engaging in Authority was the exploration of the Southern Reach itself and Ghost Bird as opposed to Control.
