I enjoyed the first half of Dead Silence a lot. I thought it built atmosphere and mystery pretty well and I was interested in where it was going. And then the reveal and everything that happened after. Without spoiling it too explicitly, it was just sooooo heavy handed with its messaging, and as someone super on board with that message, even I found it grating. I'm curious about this one since space horror is pretty much the greatest thing there is, but I'll either wait for a sale or check it out from my library I think.
The library is sooo great for circumstances like this! I definitely would have used mine for this book had I not gotten approved for a review copy from netgalley. I was curious but apprehensive! I’m glad I picked it up though. I hope you have a better experience with it too
I'm personally on the fence about the book. My initial reaction is that it's mid, but I think that might be because I read it when I wasn't super in the mood for it but didn't want to spend time looking for a new book lol
I totally get that, sometimes life is just like that! I wonder that about certain books too, like is this book lame or is it just my mood? Sometimes it’s definitely my mood 😬🤣
The ending was SO lazy. I did not enjoy it. Spoiler I wanted to know more about the alien thing that took over their bodies and a bit about how they work and all that.
Yeah, I can see why she didn’t explain that further, it would have drawn everything out more. But I agree it would have been nice to know exactly what was going on with it
