Dead Silence
by S.A. Barnes
I’ve been thinking of this book. I wanted so bad to like this book. I wanted to DNF less than half way reading. I felt that being in the MC mind was too much. I felt that book was more focus on the “scare” than on the development of the characters and the story. The MC was all over the place due to the trauma she experienced. I am typically all about a character who is failing apart. But someone this character’s messiness did not do anything for me. I find myself feeling like “what did I just read.”
It felt like I got very basic info about the characters. I know that’s not necessarily true, I just didn’t connect with the story. Which is strange because I like stories set in space, mysterious, with horror. In theory, I should have loved this book. But that did not happens.
The mystery of the characters confused me and made it hard for me to tell a lot of male characters apart. It also didn’t help that the narrator is not a narrator I gravitate towards. I listen to this narrator for the final book of the “The Beautiful” series by Renee Adhieh and I didn’t like it and had to DNF the book. I wonder what it would have been like if I read the book with my eyeballs instead of my ears.
